You receive ACD voicemail interactions when your admin configures a call flow to give callers an option to leave a voicemail instead of connecting with an agent. Some examples include a closed queue or a busy queue with a long wait time. Once a caller records a voicemail, Genesys Cloud routes it to an available agent on the specified queue.

Note: When you configure a call flow in Architect with the Transfer to voicemail action, callers can leave a voicemail while in the queue, rather than wait to connect to an agent.

Accept an ACD voicemail interaction

  1. Log in as an agent and go on queue. The Interactions panel opens. ACD voicemail interactions appear in the Active Interactions list. 
  2. To accept the interaction, click Answer. The voicemail interaction appears.
  3. To listen to the voicemail, click Play . The voicemail plays on your computer’s default speakers.

Respond to the voicemail

You can handle some voicemail interactions without returning the contact’s call. Most, however, require a callback.

If your admin configured the ACD call flow to capture the caller’s phone number, the number appears above the voicemail. If the voicemail indicates that the caller prefers a different callback number, you click Update callback number and enter the number.

  1. To return the call, click Begin Call.
  2. End the call and complete after contact work (ACW).
  3.  To complete the interaction, click Done.
