Is there a supported way in FreePBX to upload voicemail greetings directly to an extension via the GUI?
Current call flow:
-
IVR (custom announcement)
-
Options → ring groups / extensions
-
Timeout → extension voicemail
The issue I’m running into is managing custom voicemail greetings per mailbox.
From what I can tell, the available methods are:
-
Record via *97/*98 (per user mailbox login)
-
Use the default unavailable/busy messages
-
Manually place audio files in
/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/...via SSH
Option #3 works, but it’s not scalable and introduces risk when managing multiple mailboxes.
What I’m looking for:
-
A GUI-based way to upload/select voicemail greetings per extension
or -
A supported bulk workflow (even if it involves Admin modules, ARI, or another tool)
Am I missing something obvious here, or is this just a limitation of how voicemail is handled in Asterisk/FreePBX?
