Scheduled Greetings - Business Only - V6.0
Product Description
Scheduled Greetings automatically change the end-user's greetings and the time they are played based on the end-user's predetermined schedule. This allows an end-user to record two different greetings; one during open hours and one during closed hours. Scheduled Greetings can only be provided to end-users that subscribe to CenturyLink Business Voice Messaging Service and is available as an optional feature on the following mailboxes:
The following are greeting limitations:
- Scheduled Greetings does not allow for varied open and closed times each day.
- Only one open and one closed greeting can be recorded.
- Although you can have different open and closed times for the weekdays and weekends, the greetings can not be different for those days.
- An open and/or closed greeting can be scheduled to play during one block of time in a 24 hour period.
- Scheduled Greetings does not allow you to skip between open and closed greetings multiple times a day.
The end-user programs schedule information directly into their mailbox and may record a personal open and closed greeting up to 90 seconds in length or have the system answer with a standard greeting.
The end-user must record their name to identify the mailbox. The name will be incorporated into a standard, system-generated greeting.
The main greetings can be:
- Standard with the end-user's recorded name. (The standard greeting will sound the same whether it is played during the open greeting time slot or the closed greeting time slot.)
- Personal with the end-user's recorded name.
The end-user may choose to:
- Use the system's standard greeting schedule as follows:
OPEN
Monday through Friday
8 AM to 5 PM
CLOSED
Monday through Friday
5:01 PM to 7:59 AM
All Day Saturday and Sunday
- Create customized Scheduled Greetings
End-users are able to listen to greetings by calling their mailboxes.
A sample Open greeting is as follows:
"Thank you for calling "Lupe's Refrigerator Fix-it". We are currently serving another customer. Your business is important to us. Please leave a message after the tone and we will return your call during regular business hours."
A sample Close greeting:
"Thank you for calling "Lupe's Refrigerator Fix-it". We are currently closed. Your business is important to us. Please leave a message after the tone and we will return your call during regular business hours."
