Adding a Greeting step
Greeting steps play a message to waiting callers. You must have a greeting recorded before you
can use it in a Greeting step. For how to record a Call Center greeting refer to
Greeting step parameters
You can assign these parameters to greeting steps. If the first step in a routing table is a Greeting
step, it can detect fax calls and route them to the skillset mailbox for the routing table. For more
information refer to
.
Forced Play
Enable Forced Play for a greeting that contains important information that
you want callers to hear. If an agent becomes available while a caller is
listening to a Forced greeting, the greeting is not interrupted. The caller
must listen to the entire greeting.
If you do not enable Forced Play, when an agent becomes available the
greeting is interrupted and the call goes to the available agent.
Limit the number of Forced Play greetings and keep Forced Play greetings
as short as possible. Long Forced Play greetings increase the transfer time
of calls to agents and cause unpredictable increases in distribution times.

While the greeting plays callers cannot press a dialpad button to transfer

greeting, the caller goes to the next routing step. If there is no next step, the
call ends.
