Audio Files

With audio files, the callers receive useful information both within and outside the company’s opening hours. The announcements can for example be used to inform about the company opening hours and menu selections:

  • Inform the caller of the company opening hours.
  • Give the callers important messages before adding the caller to a queue.
  • You can create several audio files for no extra cost.
  • You can playback/test these announcements in the browser or on a phone.
