10.6 Setting the voice box for groups
A separate Voice Box (answering machine) can be configured for each group.
Just as with a user, a standard greeting can be played or an individual greeting can be recorded, which is then played as soon as a call is transferred to the Voice Box. In addition, you can specify whether a recording of the voice message should be possible in principle when the call is routed to the group Voice Box. In addition, it can be set the maximum length of the voice message in seconds and enter the email address to which the recorded voice message should be sent.
If the * key is also to be used to retrieve the group voice announcements via remote inquiry, the function can be activated here.
However, this requires a PIN configuration. When calling the SwyxWare group number, the user identifies himself to SwyxWare using his PIN and can then first listen to the new and then all existing voice messages of the group, play them repeatedly and delete them if necessary.
* 
Please make sure that you create a script for group-based call forwarding in the Call Routing Manager (CRM). Otherwise, no group-related voice message will be recorded.
