Managing Voicemail Greetings When Disabled

Learn how to update voicemail greetings in Zendesk Talk when voicemail is turned off to avoid confusion.

How can I manage voicemail greetings when voicemail is off?

When voicemail is off, it's important to update your greetings to avoid instructing customers to leave a message. You can manage these settings by going to the Admin Center, selecting the line you've disabled voicemail for, and choosing a custom greeting in the Available agents greeting (voicemail off) field.

This ensures that callers receive the correct information and don't attempt to leave a message when voicemail is unavailable.
