Interactive Mai lboxes
Description
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 (dia-
logue). 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 information, 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.
Availability:
All versions of the NT Voice Mail.
Notes:
• To record the interactive prompts, use Recording Interactive Prompts on
the System Administrator Menu.
• When the interactive session is over, the Voice Mail says Good-bye and
hangs up unless the caller reached the Interactive Mailbox through a Call
Routing or Directory Dialing Mailbox. In this case, the Voice Mail sends
the caller back to the Instruction menu for that mailbox. The Voice Mail
will not, however, send the caller back if there is a closing Announcement
Mailbox that is programmed to hang up.
•
To let callers reach an Interactive Mailbox through the Automated Attendant,
see Interactive Mailboxes on page 112.
• An extension user can also transfer an outside caller to an Interactive Mailbox.
See Transferring a Call to a Mailbox in the User's Guide. This type of transfer is
allowed only if the Interactive Mailbox number falls into the Extension Number-
ing Plan of the phone system.
• The Voice Mail stores a response set as long as the caller records at least one
response.
