Prompt files

A prompt file is a repository for objects that can be used for making audio prompts in the system. A prompt file can contain multiple audio files but there can be only one file per language.

The system has a default set of prompt files. You see these prompt files as built-in prompt files in Queue management > Prompt files. Editing them is not possible.

To import new audio files into the system, you can define your own prompt files. The audio files (WAV files) must be in the format PCM 8 kHz, 16 bit, mono.

The types used in queues and direct calls are recognized by their names, such as Welcome Message or Service Closed message, and they are typically used by deafult, there is no need to configure them.
