Why Audio Messages Matter

  • Creates a more polished, branded caller experience.
  • Can communicate useful info (e.g. “We may record this call for training purposes”, “Due to high volume there may be a wait”, etc.).
  • Helps set expectations, reduce frustration, and guide callers correctly.
  • Works well before other steps such as IVR, Ring to User/Team, or even before sending callers to voicemail.

How to Configure Audio Messages in a Call Flow

  1. Add the Audio Message element into your Canvas at the desired point.
  2. Choose message type: upload an MP3 file or use text-to-speech. Audiomessage Web
  3. Determine when to play: immediately after incoming call, before IVR, before transfer to agent/team, etc.
  4. Define what happens after the audio: route to IVR, ring to user/team, or a fallback like voicemail or escalation.

Best Practices

  • Keep audio messages short and focused. Overly long messages can frustrate callers.
  • Use high quality audio (for MP3 versions) to maintain clarity and reduce misunderstandings.
  • Ensure the tone and content of the message aligns with your overall brand.
  • Use audio to clarify service hours, whether calls are recorded, expected wait times, etc.
