Creating a Temporary Greeting

Zuletzt aktualisiert : Feb 09, 2024 |

About this task

When a temporary greeting is being used, no other greetings are active. The temporary greeting can be selected for a certain number of days, the maximum number of days being 30. When you enter the number of days the end date is calculated and announced. When the temporary greeting time expires the greetings that you have assigned to specific call types are used. If you have no other greetings assigned the system default greeting will be played to callers.
