Appendix: Call Routing Features (Simple Call Flow)
The below features are available:
- Call Recording (and call recording preamble) - By default, the WildJar professional recording is selected. You can also enter the URL of a hosted MP3 file. Click on the play button to preview the recording.
You can also enter your own text and let our text-to-speech engine (Australian voice) do the talking. - Timeout - The number of seconds (between 5 and 60) before a call is considered unanswered. If voicemail is enabled, it will be played after this timeout. The default value is 25 seconds.
- Call Whisper - This message will be played to the destination handset immediately when answering a call.
- Voicemail and Call Alerts - Enter your own text and it will be transformed into speech or enter the URL of a hosted MP3 file.
You can also select whether you want to receive missed call alerts, all call alerts or not receive alerts at all. You can enter as many email addresses or mobile numbers as you like.
To remove an email recipient or SMS recipient, click on the contact email or phone number. - Friendly/Branch Name - A descriptive name for your call flow or answer point location. For example, "head office".
- Force Caller ID - Override the caller ID displayed on the destination handset with a tracking number or any other number on your account. This is useful to quickly identify that an incoming call is from your tracking number. This will not affect the Calls report.
- Share Call Flow - Replace the call flow of the current number with another tracking number in the same account. If the current call flow is shared, you can create a new call flow for this tracking number only.
