RECORD YOUR NAME FOR AUTO ATTENDANT DIRECTORY

If your company has an auto attendant directory, you need to record your name. Auto attendant directories give callers an option to search for employees by their last name. Auto attendants are smart for your business as they save money, appear professional, help you avoid missed or misdirected calls, and provide a consistent experience for your clients.

HOW TO RECORD YOUR NAME

NOTE: Office managers and call center supervisors must be in “My Account” view to access their Messages tab.

  1. Click on the Messages tab in your SONAR portal.

  3. Under the Greetings section, click the speaker icon next to Recorded Name.
