Creating a Message is often necessary to introduce new messaging or test a change. These instructions help you create a new Message, but it is even easier to simply select an existing Message with messaging similar to your final product, select Copy, and edit.
Add a Message
To add the new Message:
- Click the Add button. The first screen of Add New Message wizard appears.
- Specify the New Message Name and New Message Description.
- Click the Next button to get second screen of the wizard.
- Select filter option from the Filter By drop-down menu. This option allows to find call flows based on Name, Description, as well as Module name.
- Select the call flow from the Callflow drop-down menu. Since the Call Flow defines both messaging and call flow, the Call Flow selected will determine how your calls are handled. Callflow drop-down menu Options display icons next to the call flow to identify standard call flows ( ) which are provided by Livevox and created by the user ( ). The list of call flows will show the name and its type (Standard or custom). If you created a Call Flow using the Call Flow Editor and want to apply it to a Message, choose it from the dropdown. Alternatively, frequently used LiveVox Call Flows are below and properties described on the Message Properties Supplemental page.
