When an outage occurs, you likely experience a huge call volume spike into your service desk from users reporting the outage and wanting to know when their service will be restored. The SD Upfront Message module allows project leaders to place an alert message in front of the main menu in the Service Desk IVR.

Usage requirements

  • Chrome browser.
  • Call Manager account (Leader profile).
  • Assigned call manager extension.

How to define an outage message
