Displaying voice announcements

In Chapter 2, Basic PBX Configuration, we learned how to upload or record a phrase or voice prompt when configuring an IVR or auto-attendant. Let's imagine we have an incoming call (from a port or a DID) and we just want to display a voice announcement, such as a commercial promotion, a set of instructions, or an information update of any kind and then hang upon this call or send it to a group of extensions or an IVR. The PBX | Announcements menu provides us the ability to achieve this.

For example, we need to route incoming DID 6767 to the sales extension. Using the Announcements module, the caller can hear a phrase containing important information before routing his call to an operator.

How to do it…

With the System Recordings module, we can add or record a new voice prompt. We can even choose and rename the embedded (Built-in Recordings) voice prompts and sounds. Just remember that these audio prompts are in different languages and have been recorded with different genders.

The steps to perform this recipe are as follows:

  1. Go to the PBX | Announcements menu and select the desired recording to be used.

  2. If you'd like, you can change the recording's name and description, as shown in the next screenshot:

  3. Enter a Description of this announcement, and select the recording to use.
  4. Select Destination from the drop-down menu. This is shown in the next screenshot.

    Tip

    Remember that you can move the mouse pointer over the name of the options and a small dialog will pop up with its description.

  5. The description for the main parameters is as follows:
    • Description: This is the name of the announcement.
    • Recording: This is the file to be played. We can add more recordings by using the System Recordings module.
    • Repeat: This sets a DTMF tone (0–9, *, #) that can be pressed to replay the announcement.
    • Allow Skip: When enabled, the caller can press any key to skip the announcement.
    • Return to IVR: This option will send the caller to the IVR after the announcement has been heard.
    • Destination after playback: This is a drop-down menu from which we can decide the destination of the call, after the recording has been played.
