Ring.io offers the ability to configure greetings and a number of routing options when a call is placed to a Ring.io company number. Configure a greeting and set routing rules for how calls are distributed within the company under Phone Number and Routing in the Ring.io Admin Portal.

Auto Attendant Greeting for your callers

These settings determine how your callers are greeted when somebody calls your Ring.io company number.
โ€‹
โ€‹Let Ring.io handle your greeting:

  • Greet your callers by name if they are recognized as an address book entry. ("Hi, Sam") and offer Welcome Back Routing - Welcome back routing uses prior successful phone calls between a caller and a user to offer to that caller the opportunity to speak with the same user.

  • Announce company name. "Thank you for calling..." - enter your company name

  • Play "For (department) press 1, for (department) press 2, etc - Our system will announce the options based off the departments created. Your callers will be routed to the appropriate department depending the number entered.

Make your own greeting:

Upload an audio file with a custom greeting that offers your callers options to select from. Make sure that you include all the choices that the caller should know about. If after hours has been enabled the custom greeting will not play after hours, only a standard greeting.

Create a customized greeting from the following:

  • Text to Speech - reads the text entered aloud.

  • Custom Audio - audio file must be in .wav format.

  • System Audio - announce full name of caller, first name of caller or company name.

Route calls differently after hours

If you'd rather not answer live phone calls after business hours, or on weekends, activate the after hours option. Specify the days and hours of operation and Ring.io will route calls based off the configuration.

  • On hang-up execute following action - trigger a data menu when the call ends (ie. create a new lead or contact in the CRM)

Backup Number

If Ring.io needs to be bypassed, send calls to:

  • Account backup number

  • Enter another number

On-Hold Music

Ring.io offers full control over your caller's experience. Choose from the standard hold music or upload a custom audio file in .wav format.

Other Settings

The Screen Pop Label is a snippet of text that helps to identify which phone number is being used. This is helpful if there are multiple company phone numbers in your account. Create a label name for each of your company phone numbers (eg. sales, customer service, technical support)
