<p>The&nbsp;<a href="https://teamihallp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>new 3CX update</strong></a>&nbsp;for StartUp now fine-tunes call handling with the addition of digital receptionists and call queues! The StartUp Wizard has also been improved for a much easier workflow.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Latest Features</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="577" src="http://teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-The-3CX-new-update-1024x577-1.webp" alt="3rd-The-3CX-new-update" class="wp-image-822" srcset="https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-The-3CX-new-update-1024x577-1.webp 1024w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-The-3CX-new-update-1024x577-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-The-3CX-new-update-1024x577-1-768x433.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Call Queuing&nbsp;</h3>



<p>With the new update, you can now, put customers in a call queue, a feature that was previously limited to the StartUp Pro package! Add team members to each line, then decide on your polling method and wait time cap. Additionally, you may customise the setup by adding your own hold music, turning on queue position announcements, and developing unique start prompts.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Record greetings from the client</h3>



<p>Greetings and instructions can be effortlessly recorded without using a different application directly from the Web Client. Use it to record IVRs, queue introductions, and personalised greetings for out-of-office messages.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Routing with IVR</h3>



<p>Allow callers to press a key (for ex. Press 1 or Press 2) to select the team or department they would want to speak with. Callers can be sent to another digital receptionist, a ring group, or a waiting list to hear more alternatives. Your team won’t constantly be forced to transfer calls.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What’s more</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In light of the addition of ‘Call Handling’ as a new section replacing ‘Ring Groups’ in ‘Office Settings’, you can create your groups, queues and digital receptionists.</li>



<li>Single Sign-on (SSO) is limited just to Google but Microsoft has announced it will be changing its current method, so support for Microsoft SSO will be stopped.</li>
</ul>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="http://teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-3CX-V18-Update-5-Messaging-transformed-1-1024x576-1.webp" alt="3rd-3CX-V18-Update-5-Messaging-transformed" class="wp-image-812" srcset="https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-3CX-V18-Update-5-Messaging-transformed-1-1024x576-1.webp 1024w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-3CX-V18-Update-5-Messaging-transformed-1-1024x576-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/3rd-3CX-V18-Update-5-Messaging-transformed-1-1024x576-1-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>WhatsApp messages can be assigned to groups to ensure prompt responses.&nbsp;</li>



<li>By centralising all customer communications, you can provide superior service.&nbsp;</li>



<li>To ensure that no response disobeys business regulations, messages are recorded.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Employees won’t have to share their individual WhatsApp numbers!</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Improved SMS Integration</h3>



<p>Previously, the SMS setting was set up independently, but it has been upgraded to live right inside the SIP trunk configuration.</p>



<p>There is now an “SMS” tab that enables you to configure SMS in 4 simple steps:&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In the “SMS” tab, enable the SMS.</li>



<li>Enter the Secret Key obtained from the VoIP provider’s portal.</li>



<li>Copy and paste your 3CX webhook URL into your provider’s portal.</li>



<li>Enable your users’ permissions to send SMS.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Quick Response Message Template</h3>



<p>Using your own fully customizable quick response message templates, you may respond to any chat message, including those sent by live chat, Facebook, WhatsApp, and SMS, even faster. To access new templates, merely click on the icon in the message response bar. Templates can be made by group managers and divided into different categories (such as New Enquiry &amp; Admin) and languages.&nbsp;</p>



<p>You may also put up templated responses with placeholders to give your communications a personalised touch.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Manage other users and live chat settings from the Web Client</h3>



<p>Users who have been given “System Administration” permissions in the Management Console can now edit Users and Live Chat setups using their Web Client. System administrators can access user settings, including modifying the status schedule, by selecting “Admin” from the menu bar. They can also change the settings for Live Chat, which now include new styles, choices, and privacy restrictions.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Since then, 3CX has established itself as a global leader in business communications. Leveraging his open-standard SIP and WebRTC technology, 3CX has evolved from its beginnings as a PBX phone system to a complete communications platform.</p>



<p>Offer your customers simple, flexible, and affordable calling, video, and live chat solutions. With 3CX, businesses can significantly reduce costs and administrative burdens while increasing productivity and improving the customer experience.</p>



<p>To support the mighty and ever-capable Phone systems, there is certain specific hardware requirement that one may need to employ to run their 3CX system at peak condition.</p>



<p>These recommended hardware specs are given as a starting point and could alter depending on your business’s demands and usage. Some basics are:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CPU</h2>



<p>Depending on the number of call end-points, using call queues and group calls costs the CPU more than one-on-one calls do.</p>



<p>In order to choose an appropriate processor based on the recommended processor family, refer to this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/cpu-hierarchy,4312.html">CPU hierarchy</a>, based on their suitability to the recommended&nbsp;<a href="https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark.html#@Processors">Intel CPUs</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amd.com/en/products/specifications">AMD CPUs</a>&nbsp;are supported.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Memory</h2>



<p>As more extension groups or queues are assigned users, more RAM is required.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Network&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Depending on the number of simultaneous conversations and use of other network applications, 3CX requires at least 1Gb LAN network connectivity.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For more than 1000 expansions, 10Gb is needed.&nbsp;</p>



<p>On HyperVisor platforms, link aggregation (LAG, LACP) can be utilized to increase the throughput that is available, however, it is not available for bare metal machines.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Storage&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Set aside at least 30GB for the installation of the 3CX base system.&nbsp;Add an extra drive, partition, or space for voicemail backup, recordings, logging, or voicemail.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Note:&nbsp;</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>1MB of recorded audio is used for every minute of voicemail and recording.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Logging: On a busy system, verbose logs can use up to 1 GB of storage per day, or per 2500 calls.</li>
</ul>



<p>Regularly offload (archive) unused voicemails, backups, and recordings to cold storage to maintain the maximum amount of free capacity for your PBX.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="577" src="http://teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1-1024x577-1.webp" alt="Storage" class="wp-image-793" srcset="https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1-1024x577-1.webp 1024w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1-1024x577-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/1-1024x577-1-768x433.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>For usage cases of more than 1000, you may contact 3CX directly.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">x86 – Based</h2>



<p>x86-based CPU installations can be utilised as “Bare Metal” or “Virtual Machine” deployments and need to be compatible with 64-bit architecture. The following HyperVisors were used according to 3CX verification:&nbsp;</p>



<p>–&nbsp;<a href="https://www.3cx.com/docs/manual/phone-system-installation-windows/#h.5hoy5wwhhk5c">VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 6.5u1</a>&nbsp;and above, with VMWare tools package installed</p>



<p>–&nbsp;<a href="https://www.3cx.com/docs/installing-microsoft-hyper-v/">Microsoft Hyper-V Server</a>&nbsp;(6.2) and above capable of running Debian 10, Win10, Server 2016 and above</p>



<p>–&nbsp;<a href="https://www.3cx.com/docs/manual/phone-system-installation-windows/#h.5hoy5wwhhk5c">Citrix XenServer 7.0</a>&nbsp;and above</p>



<p>–&nbsp;<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/KVM">KVM 2.8</a>&nbsp;and up</p>



<p><strong>Note</strong>: Additional configuration may be needed for the virtual machine, depending on the HyperVisor used.</p>

<p>As 3CX has made it easy for organizations to improve various things and work magnificently in different sectors with its many features, today we would be discussing&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://teamihallp.com/3cx/">virtual call centers and omnichannel contact centers</a></strong>&nbsp;without wasting any time let’s dive in! Before we start just a quick update about who we are. We are Team IHA and we are the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://teamihallp.com/3cx/">Designated Bronze Partners with 3CX</a></strong>&nbsp;and we provide round the clock Technical Support for free, if you are also looking for any such services then reach out to the&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://teamihallp.com/3cx/">best 3CX service provider</a></strong>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is a Virtual Call Center?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="http://teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-a-Virtual-Call-Center-1-1024x576-1.webp" alt="What-is-a-Virtual-Call-Center" class="wp-image-742" srcset="https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-a-Virtual-Call-Center-1-1024x576-1.webp 1024w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-a-Virtual-Call-Center-1-1024x576-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-a-Virtual-Call-Center-1-1024x576-1-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>It’s easy to comprehend why virtual call centers are becoming more and more common. They not only assist organizations in saving money, but they also improve employee and customer satisfaction levels.</p>



<p>The term “virtual contact center” refers to a call center system that allows staff to work remotely rather than from a separate office. This can involve employees of call centers who work from their homes and having several offices spread out across the globe to benefit from different time zones and labor advantages.</p>



<p>Virtual Call Center has ended the need of having a large plan call center and agents answering the call at the same time. Organizations can outsource the work to different countries having lower employment rates to save money.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Virtual Call Center?</h2>



<p>Employers can gain several advantages by switching from a traditional call center to a virtual call center model. Less space is needed for workers, which lowers rent and operating costs. Because there are no longer geographic hiring restrictions and reduction in hiring costs of up to twenty-five percent and a rise in the number of available call center agents.</p>



<p>A virtual environment is likewise a desirable prospect for many agents. It results in a better work-life balance because the commute is shorter, transportation costs are cut, and the hours are frequently flexible.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Things to look for in a Virtual Call Center?</h2>



<p>Although there is a growing market for remote call center software, not all programs are created equal. Make sure to look for a virtual phone system that offers the following when consulting vendors:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="http://teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/things-to-look-1024x576-1.webp" alt="things-to-look" class="wp-image-741" srcset="https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/things-to-look-1024x576-1.webp 1024w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/things-to-look-1024x576-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/things-to-look-1024x576-1-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Free Remote Working</h3>



<p>For remote workers, many providers impose an additional activation fee or per-user fee. Find a provider like 3CX that offers a virtual model as standard from the start and unlimited users for simple expansion.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">One Combined Platform</h3>



<p>It’s a waste of time when switching between different platforms. When working from a single interface that combines calling, chat, and CRM to provide a true omnichannel contact center solution, call center agents will be more productive.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monitoring &amp; Reporting</h3>



<p>It makes sense for a call center manager to be worried about remote workers’ potential for lower productivity. To reduce these concerns and keep an eye on your staff wherever they are, pick a cloud contact center software that offers agent monitoring and training features like listen-in, whisper, and barge.</p>



<p>Team IHA stands for I Have Answer and has been legit to it. Our experts can set up a virtual call center for your organization and when you choose Team IHA with services you will get free lifetime support. Request a call back here and let’s set up your virtual call center.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How can 3CX help?</h2>



<p>For companies of any size, the 3CX call center module creates a seamless cloud contact center package. Whether agents are based at home or at an on-site call center, 3CX web-based solution enables businesses to deliver personalized and consistent customer experiences across multiple communication channels, which include as:</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3CX Live Chat</h3>



<p>By obtaining website visitors as they browse your site, you can produce more leads. To assist with sales and support issues, as well as to make appointments, connect immediately from your web client.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Analytic and Comprehensive Tool</h3>



<p>Over 30 reports are included in the 3CX Professional and Enterprise licenses to help you track agent efficiency and level of service. Reports can be sent as frequently as needed directly to queue managers’ emails.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">With integrated live wallboard and switchboard</h3>



<p>Agent activity can be easily monitored in real-time by queue managers using the 3CX wallboard. You can manage performance throughout the day by quickly viewing the wallboard’s highlights of talk time, calls waiting, callbacks, and other information.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Plug and Play contact center integration</h3>



<p>Integrate your call center solution with your CRM, ERP, and accounting system to start calls with a single click. Furthermore, 3CX updates call logs and chat records automatically, ensuring you have a clear audit trail for all interactions. This means you don’t have to worry about manually entering data.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Call flows &amp; advanced queuing strategy</h3>



<p>Strategic queuing and streamlined Interactive Voice Responses (IVR) from the 3CX Call Flow designer can speed up the customer service process. Choosing from 13 different polling techniques ensures that incoming calls are distributed efficiently. By reducing unnecessary calls, you can give your agents more time to engage in productive dialogue.</p>



<p>Now let’s move to an omnichannel contact center.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is an Omnichannel Contact Center?</h2>



<p>An omnichannel contact center combines various communication channels to give customers the option of contacting a company in the way that suits them best. It puts a strong emphasis on meeting customer requirements and giving them a seamless experience. It includes four key features such as</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="http://teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-an-Omnichannel-Contact-1024x576-1.webp" alt="What-is-an-Omnichannel-Contact" class="wp-image-740" srcset="https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-an-Omnichannel-Contact-1024x576-1.webp 1024w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-an-Omnichannel-Contact-1024x576-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/What-is-an-Omnichannel-Contact-1024x576-1-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Reporting</h3>



<p>For managers to track response times, resolution times, and other important indicators across all channels, a contact center may include call reporting and analysis.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Unified Tracking</h3>



<p>Numerous customers will contact you through various channels. An omnichannel contact center tracks customer messages across all channels, enabling access to all client conversations in one location.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Platform Integration</h3>



<p>It can be challenging to transform a call center to manage other communication channels unless all of the channels are brought together on a single platform. Having tools that are already built-in, like video conferencing, is one aspect of this. Integrating platforms from other services, like responding to social media messages or syncing CRM contacts, is another consideration. Agents require a tool that will allow them to view all conversations in real-time without having to sign up for various services to check for messages.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Business Digital Channels</h3>



<p>Businesses need to understand what customers expect from their preferred communication channels. Email, phone, texting, live chat, self-service options (like online help centers), social media, and video calls are some examples of this. The aim is not to limit customer interaction based on our preferences.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The use of artificial intelligence to analyze vast amounts of contact data and provide insights that might otherwise be missed is the most recent innovation in omnichannel customer experience. To give customers information based on their prior purchasing experiences, interactive voice response or chatbots may also use artificial intelligence.</p>



<p>The terms “omnichannel” and “multichannel” are frequently used synonymously when discussing contact centers. According to general agreement, a multichannel contact center simply refers to having all the necessary channels for communication. According to this, an omnichannel contact center solution refers to unified communication and integration.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Omnichannel Contact Centers?</h2>



<p>Omnichannel platforms’ core competency is the customer journey, especially in terms of delivering a seamless experience. This means that if a customer calls after engaging in a web chat earlier in the day, the answering service representative can see the messages they sent and any replies. As a result, the customer can receive better assistance from the agent. This highlights several advantages of the omnichannel strategy. Meanwhile you can visit the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VZEhH_J39M&amp;list=PL6sq0_ucoDulE3_G-kqfMnVZjp0JMibLA"><strong>Basic Certification Module by 3CX</strong></a>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe title="1. Installing 3CX V18 - Basic Certification" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9VZEhH_J39M?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Customer Satisfaction</h3>



<p>The two items below point to improved customer service. When customers contact a business, they will not only be able to do so via the channel they prefer but they will be given better service when they get in touch. As a result, customer loyalty will grow. Of course, this will have a direct impact on customer retention and the bottom line.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Improved Insight</h3>



<p>A comprehensive overview of all digital channels will be available to management. Contact statistics will include social media, text messages, and other channels in addition to just emails and phone calls. This makes it possible for management to decide with more knowledge.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Agent Productivity</h3>



<p>Agents working in contact centers won’t have to waste time looking for messages on various platforms. They will have instant access to all communications, which will improve their informational speed. They will also be able to contact those agents to get more information by seeing who else they were in contact with.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why opt for 3CX as an Omnichannel Contact Center?</h2>



<p>Favorite communication channels are integrated into 3CX, which offers customers an omnichannel experience as well as detailed reports and insights.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Video Conferencing</h3>



<p>From the web or mobile apps, customer service representatives can start built-in web conferencing and video calls.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CRM integration</h3>



<p>Access communications from Zendesk, Salesforce, Freshdesk, Microsoft 365, and other CRMs by syncing your clients.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fax, Phone &amp; Voicemail</h3>



<p>For many businesses, basic phone communication still serves as the main form of communication.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Facebook Messaging</h3>



<p>Visitors to a company’s Facebook page will anticipate prompt responses. Integration guarantees timely responses from agents.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">SMS for business</h3>



<p>Numerous people now prefer using SMS to communicate. Agents can respond using a business phone number thanks to integration.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Live Chat</h3>



<p>To turn website visitors into leads or to offer another form of customer service, agents can chat with visitors.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is an Auto-Attendant?</h2>

<p>Automated attendant system (auto-attendant) or Virtual Receptionist the term is used commonly in telephony to describe a Voice Menu System and in business phone systems or call centers is the desired and life-saving feature, which is popular too.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Adding an auto-attendant to your phone system is both economical and convenient for customers. By automating and streamlining the process of answering incoming calls and routing callers to the appropriate person or division, it also takes the position of a human operator. When a live operator is not present, it can also help with incoming calls outside of regular business hours.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What are Auto Attendant features?</h2>



<p>Every auto-attendant is built differently and depends mostly on your phone system. However, the following are some typical best practices that can immediately improve a client’s sense of satisfaction and experience:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A dial-by-name directory might be useful when an inbound caller wishes to contact a certain person. To connect with the correct individual, simply follow a straightforward instruction like “Please call the first three letters of the party’s first name.</li>



<li>To welcome callers virtual greetings can use a custom greeting. The greetings could be simply uploaded as audio files.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Have you ever heard the phrase, “Please hold to connect to an operator at the beginning of the call,” or “press 1 for sales, press 2 for marketing”? The initial sorting of the incoming calls is completed by a menu option that follows a pre-written attendant script. Users can select a particular key to move on to the subsequent action.</li>



<li>The digital receptionist leads callers to the right voicemail to leave a message if any user is not accessible. The easiest way to ensure that all business calls are answered.</li>
</ul>



<p>There are no restrictions on how many levels the digital attendant feature comes with 3CX can be configured. For instance, selecting 1 transfers the caller to a different “level” of the system, where they are given up to an additional 9 possibilities. The caller can then select another option to continue. With simple steps for small businesses to complex multi-layer configurations.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why use Digital IVR?</h2>

<p>A call flow is a path or pattern that a call takes based on how the phone system has been set up. Ranging from simple flow, up to the full contact center call flows that interrogate databases and CRM systems.</p>



<p>For instance, the system may take a call and request the caller for their entire name and account number. The call flow system will then be able to confirm the caller and transfer the call to the appropriate team to handle the inquiry using speech-to-text technology.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Call by Name</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Call-by-Name-feature-1024x576-1.webp" alt="Call-by-Name-feature" class="wp-image-718" width="750" height="422" srcset="https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Call-by-Name-feature-1024x576-1.webp 1024w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Call-by-Name-feature-1024x576-1-300x169.webp 300w, https://www.teamihallp.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Call-by-Name-feature-1024x576-1-768x432.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></figure>



<p>Callers can be directed to the call-by-name function as well. By using the first few letters of the person’s first or last name on the phone dial pad, they can locate the person they want to speak to. When using the call by name function, you must:</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>a message asking the user to identify themselves. Through the call-by-name feature, users without a self-identification message are not accessible.</li>



<li>Users cannot use or have Unicode characters in their first or last name.</li>



<li>A Digital Receptionist must provide the Call-by-name menu option as one of the menu options.</li>
</ol>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Self Identification Message</h3>



<p>To record your self-identification message by your 3CX App, Web client, or IP Phone;</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Call the voicemail menu (Default 999).</li>



<li>Type in the PIN for your voicemail.</li>



<li>the “9” key, go to access the options menu.</li>



<li>To record the self-ID message, press the ‘5’ key.</li>



<li>Simply write down your name, such as “Laura Smith.”</li>
</ol>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How does the Call by Name feature work?</h2>



<p>The Call-by-Name feature compares the input with the user’s first or last name (that has been entered on the phone keypad). There are the following guidelines:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The last name is changed to capital letters.</li>



<li>Except for [2-9] and [A-Z], all symbols are ignored.</li>



<li>The symbols are translated using the following terminology:</li>
</ul>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>‘ABC2’ &gt; ‘2’</li>



<li>‘DEF3’ &gt; ‘3’</li>



<li>‘GHI4’ &gt; ‘4’</li>



<li>‘JKL5’ &gt; ‘5’</li>



<li>‘MNO6’ &gt; ‘6’</li>



<li>‘PQRS7’ &gt; ‘7’</li>



<li>‘TUV8’ &gt; ‘8’</li>



<li>‘WXYZ9’ &gt; ‘9’</li>
</ol>



<p>To call a user, the caller must type at least three digits (‘0′&nbsp; to’9’). Although they (0&amp;1) are ignored, the digits “0” and “1” can be used to call people with short last names (for instance, you can type “540” to reach someone with the last name “Li”).</p>



<p>IVR searches the phone system database for users who match the three digits entered by the user. “Extension not found” is what you hear if there are no matching users. If only one user matches, the IVR routes the call to the specified extension. The IVR will wait for the caller to enter more digits for two seconds if multiple users match.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In case of more than one matching user, IVR would wait for additional digits, then the caller presses any digit and IVR will this to the current input, and look for the currently matching user. IVR would say “extension not found” if there are no matching users.</li>



<li>The IVR will play: “To call Van Damme press 0” if the user doesn’t enter any more digits (2 seconds have passed or “#” has been pressed), and more than one user matches. Press 1 to reach Van Halen. Press pound, (#) to leave. Van Damme and Van Halen are the matching users’ self-identification prompt in this example.</li>
</ul>
