This feature is available for only 1stream Core licensed users and higher plans. If you don't have this and would like this feature to be available, please reach out to your Sales Representative to upgrade user licensing.

 
  • Lite and View plan users can have a version of this functionality, as shown in our Sending Voicemails to Ticket System article.
  • If you would like the text transcription of the voicemail to be added to the ticket, that must be configured separately outside of this article. For information on transcription activation, please see our Voicemail Transcription article
  • Without transcription, the voicemail audio file will simply be attached to the ticket, as well as the ticket being matched to a contact if one was found matching the caller ID.

Catch All Warning

If you fail to set a Catch All Company, then voicemails which cannot be matched to a contact will not create tickets. Ensure you set this to a valid company which allows for saving in your CRM/PSA, and test to make sure you can receive a ticket from an internal extension call for instance.

 

Once done, any voicemails received for the assigned extension will produce a ticket with the voicemail file and transcription as an attachment. It does take a few minutes for the voicemail to be transcribed and the ticket to be created. 

Not Seeing the Correct Board?

If you are not seeing the correct board to be selected in the Select Board drop-down, ensure that you have the boards synced up with your CRM. For information on managing your CRM ticket boards, please see our Managing Ticket Boards article
