What Are Personalized Messages?
Personalized messages are custom greetings or responses that are tailored to your callers’ needs. Instead of a generic message, you can create customized voicemail messages or personalized phone greetings that reflect your brand, share your business hours, explain wait times, or answer common questions.
These messages help you set clear expectations, improve caller experience, and deliver a more human touch—even when no one is available to answer the phone. Personalized messages make every interaction feel professional, timely, and relevant.
How Do Personalized Messages Work?
Personalized messages work by letting you pre-record or upload customized voice messages that play automatically based on your call flow. You can tailor these messages to different scenarios—like after-hours calls, team availability, or specific departments.
Using Call Flow Designer and IVR systems, these messages are triggered at the right time, ensuring callers always hear the most relevant and helpful information. It’s a simple way to enhance customer communication without adding manual work for your team.
