Freshcaller allows you to enable voicemail transcripts for your account. When this option is enabled, you can see the transcribed script of the voicemail messages recorded by the customers.


How are voicemails triggered?

Voicemails are triggered to the customers when no agent answers the call as they are unavailable or busy attending other calls.

This happens when you set send to voicemail as the fallback option in call workflows. For example, in a call queue or IVR tree setup, you can configure send to voicemail as the fallback action in case your agents are busy or unavailable. So, at the end of the ringtone, customers will be asked to record their messages. 


Agents can later listen to the voicemail recording and view the transcribed voicemail text in the Call Metrics section.


Is voicemail transcription enabled by default? 

By default, the option is disabled for all accounts. Once enabled, you can view the voicemail transcripts in the Call Metrics section.


NOTE: Voicemail transcriptions are charged at USD 0.004/min.


User Requirements: Only admins and account admins have access to enable voicemail transcriptions for a number.
