Voicemail - Your Greeting, Your Messages and Shared Voicemail
Voicemail goes to one of two places, chosen on the inbound entry point:
- your own inbox, which you play from the soft phone's Voicemail tab;
- a queue's shared voicemail box, which the team works from Interaction Center > Shared voicemail.
Record your voicemail greeting
| Menu | Interaction Center > My voicemail greeting |
| Permission | Sign in to queues and campaigns (you also need an agent profile, which is created the first time you sign in) |
- Open Interaction Center > My voicemail greeting.
- Click Record with microphone and speak your greeting, or Upload a file (MP3, WAV, OGG or WebM, up to 20 MB).
- Click Preview to listen, then Save greeting.
Remove greeting goes back to the entry point's default greeting.
Listen to your voicemail
Open the soft phone and choose the Voicemail tab. A badge shows how many messages are new. Click a message to play it; tick messages and click Delete to remove them. Messages under legal hold say so and cannot be deleted.
Shared voicemail
| Menu | Interaction Center > Shared voicemail (the menu shows how many are new) |
| Permissions | Access shared voicemail (to work the box); Manage shared voicemail (to delete and take over claims). The Supervisor role has both. |
- Open Interaction Center > Shared voicemail.
- Filter by queue (All my queues by default) and status: Open (new and claimed), New, Claimed, Done or All.
- Play a message, then click I'll handle this to claim it so the rest of the team knows it is yours.
- Click Call back to dial the caller straight from your own soft phone.
- When you are finished, click Mark done and add an optional note (up to 1000 characters).
Other actions: Return to queue releases your claim, Reopen brings back a finished message, Take over claims a message someone else is holding (manage permission), and Delete removes it (manage permission; not allowed under legal hold).
You see the queues on your own entitlement record; users with Manage the Contact Center see every queue.
