The Request Confirmation option must be set under the Queue Agent inside the Edit Agents area of the Call Queue for the system to play the Announce to Agent message. It is a feature that allows the system to query a callee to find out if they would like to accept the call or let the call return to its previous destination.

Configure the Feature in the PBX Portal

The configuration has two essential parts to work.

1. Configure Announce to Agent Message.
2. Configure the Queue Agent’s Request Confirmation Attribute

Configure Announce to Agent Message

An Announce to Agent message must be recorded for a specific Call Queue for that message to be played to Agents prior to them accepting calls.

2. Click on the name of the Call Queue or the Edit button to the right of the Call Queue entry that you want to edit.
3. Under the Basic tab look for the Message to Agent setting and from here you can choose to:
   1. Disable the feature.
   2. Use Text-To-Speech where you can type in the Message which will be converted into a voice message.
   3. Or Record a message by putting in a number in the text box and clicking the Call button which will then initiate a call to the number to facilitate the recording of the message.
4. Click the Save button at the bottom of the Call Queue modal box to finalize your settings, and you will be taken back to the Call Queue page.

   1. Play – to hear the audio message created via a recording or the text-to-speech feature.
