How to Create a Company Directory

A Company Directory allows you to list available 3 or 4 digit extensions for your callers. Callers can then dial the desired extension and be connected directly to that team member or department.

 

Before You Begin


Make sure you have completed the following before setting up your Company Directory:

  • Create the desired extensions. See How to Add Multiple Digit Extensions for help.
  • Upload or record the Company Directory audio file. This audio should list your available extensions (for example: "You have reached our company directory. For John Smith, dial 2000. For Jane Smith, dial 2001."). See How to Add Audio Files for help.
