An auto attendant serves a purpose. It replaces operators for routing calls. This means that without an operator or receptionist, you can efficiently manage all your incoming calls automatically and simultaneously. When a caller makes a call, it is answered automatically and they hear a welcome message. They are then provided with a series of options. The caller selects the option he or she wants on their keypad and they get to talk to the person/department they need.
What does an Auto Attendant do?
The Auto attendant can do everything a live operator can do.
- This function can transfer a caller to an Extension,
- The Auto Attendant can also transfer a caller to Voicemail,
- The Auto Attendant can provide a customer with important information such as on office hours and availability,
- Then it also offers options such as repeat choices,
- It offers the customer the ability to select the department they want such as the sales, account or customer support,
- It can be used to allow the customer to select a language such as English, French or Spanish,
- It can be used to allow a client to select which office they want to talk to, for example, the Dublin, Cork or Limerick Office,
And, in the end, the result is a great user experience from the very first minute of the call.
