How to setup voice announcement before ringing?

Important: “Voice announcement before ringing” is different than “Voicemail greeting”.
It is an optional audio file which you can record to plays before the call starts ringing. Your business may or may not need it.

But a voicemail greeting plays when you don’t pick up the call. Almost all users need voicemail greeting.

Sample call flow: Incoming Call   ||   Voice Announcement before Ringing   ||   Ringing Starts ||   Users Accept Call or User declines the call ||   Call goes to Voicemail Greeting

Use Cases

• Alert caller before the ringing starts.
  Examples: “Please wait while the system finds me…” OR “Please wait while we connect your call to an agent…”
• Out-of-Office. Examples:
  “Vacation Alert. I am out of office and will be available starting…”
