Announcement Mailbox

Play a pre-recorded announcement to callers.
An Announcement Mailbox plays a pre-recorded announcement to Automated Attendant callers without
providing dialing options. The Announcement Mailbox is typically set up to provide information to callers
(such as company directions) and then route back to the Automated Attendant. For example:
The Automated Attendant instructs the caller to dial a digit (e.g., 1) for company directions.
❥
- Record this in the Instruction Menu message for the active Call Routing Mailbox. See Instruction
- Set the dialing options in the Dial Action Table associated with the active Call Routing Mailbox.
The caller dials the digit and listens to the prerecorded Announcement Mailbox message for directions.
❥
After playing the directions, the caller routes back to the Automated Attendant for additional dialing options.

The Announcement Message is the voice message that the System Administrator records for a specific
Announcement Mailbox.

Answer Schedule Override

Enables an alternate greeting and alternate dialing options for callers.
Answer Schedule Override provides alternate answering for Automated Attendant calls. When enabled,
Answer Schedule Override sends calls to the specified Override Mailbox. The Override Mailbox can be an
Announcement, Call Routing, or Subscriber mailbox. You can use Answer Schedule Override to provide
holiday and bad weather closing announcements, for example. Enable override when you want callers to
hear the special announcements; disable override to have the Automated Attendant answer normally. You can
enable Answer Schedule Override from system programming or from the System Administrator Mailbox.
If the Override Mailbox is an Announcement Mailbox, the outside caller will hear the recorded
❥
announcement. Depending on how the Announcement Mailbox is programmed, IntraMail will then hang
up, reroute the call, or provide additional dialing options.
If the Override Mailbox is a Call Routing Mailbox, the outside caller will hear the instruction menu and
❥
can dial any options allowed by the associated Dial Action Table.
If the Override Mailbox is a Subscriber Mailbox, the outside caller hears the mailbox greeting (if
❥
recorded) and can leave a message.
