Recording announcements and auto attendants with Voice Pilot OFFICE systems

These instructions are for E Street Voice Pilot OFFICE products:

Did you know – you can use your phone to record multiple Auto Attendants for your E Street Voice Pilot OFFICE phone system? Below are the steps to record plus some Auto Attendant functions for your announcements and a sample Auto Attendant script*.

 

Dial “86
Follow the prompts:
Please say your message after the tone and then press the # key
Record your announcement.
Press the # key when done recording.
   “Press “1” to accept this recording, press “2” to listen to it, press “3” to re-record your message.”

That’s it – you’re done recording.


   
Last Step – Send an email to E Street support to let us know that you have recorded your new announcement.

Let us know your organization, extension, the date/time you made your recording, and any additional instructions you may have with it.

E Street engineers will confirm and make the recording live for you.


 

========================
* Here are some functions that are possible within the Auto Attendant:

  • You can have separate Business Hours and After Hours messages.
  • From inside the Auto Attendant message, callers can dial the extension of the person they are calling to be connected directly to them
  • If the caller doesn’t know the extension, they can press an option for a directory where they enter the person’s first or last name to be connected.
  • A caller can be transferred to an “Operator”
  • You can program keys 0-9, * and # to transfer to any extension or phone number even if the phone number is outside of your VoIP system.
  • You can have the message repeated by pressing a key

* Here is a sample script for an Auto Attendant. This is of course just an example and we can help you work out the details of your own script:

“Hello and thanks for calling ABC Company. If you know the extension of the person you are calling, you may enter it at any time.
For a company directory, press 1.
For sales, press 2.
For support press 3.
For billing, press 3.
If this is an emergency and you would like to page our on-call support technician, press 4.
To speak with an operator, press 0. To repeat this message, press *.
Thanks”
