Professionally recorded greetings FAQs:

  • Yes, there are guidelines and script help for auto attendant greetings, voice prompts, and music and messages on hold for a wide range of industries including message samples. Click here for script help.
  • For best quality, MP3 files should be 16 kHz mono. WAV files of 8 kHz mono are also acceptable. Playback quality will depend on the user's codec. If the codec is narrowband (G7.11), then it will playback at 8 kHz. If wideband (Opus or G7.22) is available, then 16 kHz will be used.
  • Admins can update recordings at the IVR and call queue level. For IVRs, access Auto-Receptionist settings in the online admin portal.

For call queues, access Group settings in the online admin portal and select the call queue to be edited. Under the Greetings and Hold Music tab, admins can upload recordings to the Call Queue Greeting, Hold Music, and Interrupt Prompt sections. Learn more.
