Voicemail Reports Commercial Module Released for FreePBX:
Schmooze is excited to announce the new Voicemail Reports module for FreePBX!Call centers and businesses have long been utilizing call recording of queues and extensions to monitor employee’s calls and customer service levels, but a missing component was the ability to easily listen to voicemail messages left for internal user’s extensions. This module adds a quick way for system administrators and managers to review and listen to all users messages from one report. This can be useful for employee performance monitoring, and ensuring that voicemails are responded to in a timely manner.
Voicemail Reports also adds the ability for a System Administrator to view and listen to all voicemail greetings and name recordings on the PBX, as well as the ability to quickly see which voicemail accounts have not completed the setup of Voice Mail Name, Greeting and email forwarding addresses. This can save time during system setup and maintenance windows to ensure optimal performance and usage of voicemail services. LEARN MORE…
SIPStation releases updated module for managing your FreePBX trunking service
As we mentioned last month we have released our NEW FreePBX SIPStation module, the SIPStation module was already the easiest way to configure SIP Trunks with FreePBX, the updated module allows you to manage even more aspects of your service directly from within FreePBX including:
Managing Failover service on a per account or per DID basis we provide failover service to alternate phone numbers or IP addresses, you can modify these settings globally or at the DID level. If you would like IP address failover please contact our support department.
Assign Multiple e911 locations per account add additional e911 address locations to your account and assign them to a specific DID, you can also modify the e911 addresses directly within the module.
Expanded Destinations- the new module allows you to route a DID to any valid destination on your system, including IVR, ring groups or queues, allowing you to manage your inbound routes directly from the SIPStation module. Best of all, if you are using FreePBX 2.11 SIPStation now supports Destination Pop-Overs, meaning you can almost completely configure and setup your entire system without leaving the SIPStation configuration Module.
This new module removes the need of having to log into the SIPStation website to manage these settings as you can now make changes directly from within FreePBX! Learn More…
We will be looking forward to networking with and meeting many of you in Atlanta at Astricon!
