Voicemail

This block records a voicemail message of a specified maximum duration, stores it in the system (optionally encrypted), and sends an email notification to the message recipient. Depending on the settings, the email may either contain an access link or the message itself attached as an audio file. Note that if the email contains the link, the recipient may have to log into the system before the message can be played back to him. For more information, see section Listening to Voicemail Messages of the ServicePattern Agent Guide, .

Note: The system provides a built-in (default) voicemail function. Use this block only if you need voicemail capabilities that the generic built-in voicemail function does not support (e.g., different content of the email notification depending on the type of call).

Voicemail messages are stored in the system for the same period of time as call recordings.

  • Recording encoding – Encoding method. Select G.711 (default) for the best quality or GSM6.10 for a smaller file. The latter may be essential if you intend to send voice mail recordings as email attachments.

  • Allow any user to listen – If selected, any user registered in the system will be able to listen to the voice message upon clicking the URL and logging in. Use this option if message recipients may need to forward some of their voicemail to other users.

  • Allow only this user – Only the specified user will be able to listen to this message upon clicking the URL and logging in.
