Auto-Attendant

Auto-Attendant Overview

An Auto-Attendant is an automated voice system that plays a pre-recorded message after a call is received. This message can provide information such as promotions, like: "Hello, ABC Electronics is offering free shipping on all orders over ₹50. This offer is valid until December 31, 2024." This feature helps in efficiently delivering important information to callers without needing a live agent.
