To create a polished and professional IVR greeting, select the voice recording option that best suits your needs and preferences.
5. Upload Media File for the First Level: In the popup window, upload a media file for the first level of the menu. For example, “For English, press 1. Para español, oprima dos.” Once done, click “Continue editing your voice menu” and choose the options you want for your menu.
6. Create the Second Level of the IVR:
- For option 1, choose the Voice menu and upload a file with further instructions in English (e.g. “For Sales press 1, for Support press 2”). The chosen actions (e.g. for Sales/Support) should be selected on the second level.
