The Mailbox (cont’d)
Announcement Mailbox
An Announcement Mailbox is an information-only mailbox that contains a specific
announcement message, such as a movie or meeting schedule. After transferring the call to an
Announcement Mailbox, the Automated Attendant will play the message and then hang up.
Interactive Mailbox
Interactive Mailboxes are used mostly for placing orders or taking polls. Each Interactive
Mailbox enables the Automated Attendant and a caller to maintain a two-way conversation
(dialogue). In the dialogue between them, the Automated Attendant issues a set of interactive
prompts to request information. The caller responds to each prompt with the appropriate infor-
mation, and the caller’s responses are then recorded. To enable this dialogue, you simply need
to record a set of interactive prompts for the Automated Attendant.
Directory Dialing Mailbox
A Directory Dialing Mailbox is a means of enabling a caller to reach a desired extension or
mailbox. Like a Call Routing Mailbox, a Directory Dialing Mailbox contains a dial action
table, as well as a recorded Welcome Message and an Instruction Menu, Once the caller
reaches the mailbox, the Voice Mail will play the Welcome Message and the Instruction Menu.
This unique menu instructs the caller to dial either someone’s name to reach that person’s
extension or someone’s mailbox number in order to reach that person’s mailbox.
