Having clear messages at every step during a call guides your customers and make the first best impression.
We provide a set of default messages/greetings for different call center scenarios that can be modified anytime. You can also create customized messages that reflect your company's brand. For example, you can create personalized messages to play if a customer calls outside business hours or during a holiday. You can also record or upload different music as a ringtone for each number in your account.
