In the Destination field, select IVR Menus, then New IVR. Provide a name for your IVR (eg. "Incoming"), then enable the Allow Extension Dialling option if callers should have the option of directly dialing a staff member's extension number. From the Greeting field, select an existing sound file on the PBX (if applicable), New Sound (Upload) to upload a greeting file from your computer, or New Sound (Record) to record an announcement from an existing extension. As this field specifies the audio file with the options (eg. Press 1 for sales), we do not recommend routing to this IVR without an announcement in place (Announcement: Disabled).
