Question & Answer Mailbox

What is a Question and Answer mailbox?

 Like a regular Voicemail box, the Q & A mailbox plays a greeting and records the caller’s response. But the Q & A mailbox can play multiple questions in sequence and accept audio or touchtone input from the caller. All of these responses are stored in a database and can be retrieved over the web or by phone. This makes the Q & A Mailbox a great choice for data collection, whether opinion surveys or product orders

How does it Work?

  • Your script is brought to life by our professional voice-over artists.
  • Each question is customized to accept either audio recording or touch-tone.
  • The caller’s response can be played back for confirmation.
  • Questions can be skipped depending on the caller’s touch-tone response.
  • Confirmation prompts can vary depending on input. For example, if the caller presses 3, the prompt can say “You chose the red sweater.”
  • After the last question and answer, a confirmation number is assigned and played for the caller.
  • The Q & A can be configured to keep a response set only if all questions are answered.
  • The caller can be routed to other options such as Transfer to live operator.
  • Records are stored in an SQL database and accessible by web or a custom GET/POST* integration.
  • Touch tone responses are stored as text and audio responses are stored as WMA or MP3 files.
  • Each record contains Date/Time and a unique record number.

Menus

When recording an "Option Menu", how can I let the caller repeat or back up to a previous menu?

Each Option Menu has two built in options. Each box uses "7" to repeat and "9" to back up to the previous menu. You should add the following instruction to your recordings: "To repeat this information (or options- if it is a menu), press 7. To return to the previous menu, press 9". On the Main Menu or initial Option Menu in your system, the "9" is used for owner access.
This option is not normally voiced, as it is not for public use.
