Greeting Only Mailbox (no messages allowed)
Prerequisites:
- Manager Portal Access with Office Manager Scope (and permission to add Extensions)
This article covers how to set up a greeting-only mailbox
Option 1: Via an Auto Attendant
Note: This option requires a caller to call an Auto Attendant and press a key to hear the "greeting" only option.
- From the Auto Attendants Tab, select an existing AA or create a new one.
- Select the Greeting Option to associate it to the desired key:
- Record or upload the greeting
- Save the changes
Option 2: Using a General Mailbox
Note: This option requires that once set up, a ticket is opened to have some backend databases changed to make sure the system does not accept the leaving of messages by the caller.
- Add a New User with an extension number between 5010 and 5099
- Enable Voicemail for the users in the Voicemail Tab is not already created
- Record or upload the desired greeting
- Save the changes
- Assign a Telephone Number from the Inventory and point it to the user extension (between 5010 and 5099). Do not proceed to the next step until a number is associated.
- IMPORTANT: Open a support ticket to convert the mailbox to the database level, not to accept messages.
