Create an Introduction Message

If you would like to have a message play before a caller enters into a call queue…

1. Navigate to navigate to the Call Queues page. 
   
2. Click the Edit MOH icon for the queue that needs an intro message.
   
3. Click the Add Introduction button.
   
4. In the Add Intro Message modal, create or upload a message using the following options:
   • Text-To-Speech -  Type up a message and then select a voice to read off the message using voice synthesis. 
     
     • After a message is typed up, the different voices can be tested by clicking the Play icon. 
   • Upload - Click the Browse button and select a properly formatted audio file to upload into the system.
     
     

     DANGER: The audio file needs to be in a .WAV file, mono channel, and 8000 Hz format to be properly read in the phone system. 

     To convert your audio file, use this handy website:

     G711.org - Telephony File Converter

     When using this website to convert the file, select the “Standard Definition” option for the Output Format. 

      
   • Record - Use the Call to Record feature to send a call to an extension number or 10-digit phone number that will record what is said by the person answering the phone.
