  1. Create a VoiceMail applet. For information about creating an applet, see Creating an applet. A new VoiceMail applet appears.
  2. Provide the following information:

    FieldDescription
    Next Applet

    Optional. In the Next Applet list, click the applet that Vonage Contact Center routes the interaction to after a caller successfully leaves a voicemail.

    Note

    The caller might hang up before this applet runs. 

    We recommend that you select an Announcement applet to thank the caller for leaving a message, or a Send SMS applet to send the agent an SMS to let them know they have received a voicemail.

    No Personal Queue Applet

    Optional. In the No Personal Queue Applet list, click the applet that Vonage Contact Center routes the voice call to if the interaction is not assigned to an agent's personal queue. In this event, the caller won't hear a greeting and Vonage Contact Center will not record a voicemail.

    Note

    If you do not select an applet in the No Personal Queue Applet list, the call will end immediately if it is not assigned to an agent's personal queue.

    We recommend that you select an Announcement applet to inform the caller that they cannot leave a voicemail at this time.

    Next Applet On Failure

    Optional. In the Next Applet On Failure list, click the applet that Vonage Contact Center routes the voice call to if an error occurs while uploading the caller's voicemail.

    Note

    If you do not select an applet in the Next Applet On Failure list, the call will end immediately if an error occurs.

    We recommend that you select an Announcement applet to inform the caller that their voicemail was not saved.

    Email Agent

    When a caller leaves an agent a voicemail, Vonage Contact Center can send the agent an email. The email informs the agent that they have a voicemail and also provides a link to that voicemail.

    Select the Email Agent check box to send an agent an email if a caller leaves a voicemail.

    Note

    If you select the Email Agent checkbox, Vonage Contact Center will try once to send the email. If the email fails for any reason—missing or incorrect agent email address—Vonage Contact Center logs the error but does not retry sending the email. The voicemail is still accessible in ContactPad; the agent just doesn't receive an email.
