Receptionist Greeting
Your receptionist greeting will play as soon as someone calls any of your business phone numbers on your Fongo Works system. The greeting guides callers through the dial menu and/or can provide additional information to callers, such as business hours.
Note: A receptionist greeting is also known as an auto-attendant.
Below are all the receptionist greeting options available to you.

You can customize your automated receptionist greeting in the Receptionist tab of your online dashboard.
