  • Voicemail
  • IVR
  • Call center
  • LiveVox voicemail (indicated by a number that ends with *2)

Message Properties

The phone number calls will be transferred to. The default variable here is operator_phone.

You must enclose group voicemail numbers in quotes.  For example:   \'xxxxxxxxxx*2\'
Correct: external_transfer_number = \'4156716000*2\'
Incorrect: external_transfer_number = 4156716000*2

external_transfer_livevox_voicemail should be "yes" for personal agent voicemail transfers only.  For group voicemail transfers and transfer numbers outside of LiveVox, external_transfer_livevox_voicemail should be “no”.
