Introduction
This document provides an overview of the Voicemail 2.0 features.
Overview
The LiveVox Voicemail 2.0 provides two types of voicemail boxes - Agent's personal and Group voicemail. While group voicemail can be accessed by many people, agent's personal voicemail is specific only to agents. With Voicemail 2.0, when callers leave messages, agents can view, play, and download the messages directly from their desktop. Administrative users can configure unavailable messages through call flow editor and check group voicemails through the Voicemail report available on the LiveVox portal.
