I have set up my holiday rule. I have recorded my holiday greeting. In order to assign the greeting now and not when the times kick in and kick off, is to set up a "message only extension"? But that means a caller can't get to staff's VM they all then get dumped into this message only extension? Then someone has to manage that. Any other options?
Holiday rule
Hi Kathy,
Why not create a CUSTOM RULE that will be active only during the hours that you need it? I do this for every holiday that my office is closed or has reduced hours.
Hi Kathy,
Why not set up a CUSTOM RULE to only have your message active during the time it is needed? Or, you can set up an IVR, which allows the caller to PRESS a number to search by directory? I use the CUSTOM RULE for each holiday and when our office has reduced hours.
We do have IVR active. And I did set up a custom rule. And I set it up to "Play Company Greeting" not go to an extension. And if I go into my IVR Menus, choose my Daytime 1001, then go into Prompts, and chose the holiday greeting now, it'll play now won't it? For Thanksgiving I went in at the time our office closed and chose the holiday greeting. Not sure what I'm missing. And thank you for answering me.
