Take Message applet

The Take Message applet records voicemails left by the caller, and sends the recordings to an email address. Use this applet when you simply do not have enough agents to respond to all of the calls, or when the call center is closed. Agents can listen to the messages later when they have more time.

The Take Message applet can play an audio file before and after the message is taken. These messages are recorded in .wav file format and emailed to a predefined address.

You can only use this applet in an interaction plan that routes calls, and not other types of interactions.

After making any changes to the applet, you must click the corresponding Update button, or buttons, to save your changes. Changes in other sections are NOT saved when you click an Update button in another section, so update the modified field or fields before making changes in other sections.
