Manage Announcements

Manage Announcements is a centralized library of audio announcements used across IVR flows and skill queues.

Manage Announcements centralizes every announcement used across the platform into a single library — including announcements played during IVR call flow actions and announcements played to callers waiting in a skill queue. Announcements can be previewed, renamed, re-recorded, downloaded, or removed directly from this list, and the same library is available when selecting an announcement anywhere one is required, such as an IVR action, a Digit Menu Profile, or a skill's queue announcement schedule.

Adding vs. Scheduling an Announcement

Manage Announcements is the library for these audio files, but announcements can also be selected, added, or scheduled directly from within the IVR builder or Manage Skills, without needing to open this page separately.
