  1. Set up your Call Transfer. If someone presses the Call Transfer button, it will connect that person with you so you can speak to them live. The Call Transfer number here should be your business number or cell phone number, wherever you are actually will receive the call from the leads that hit the call transfer button.

Turning this off will disable Call Transfer on your voice broadcast.

  1. Next, configure how many simultaneous calls you would like to send at a time. 

🛈 Only set this to a high number if you are not utilizing call transfer. If you have enabled Call Transfer and a high call number, the more calls that are going out the same time, the more people are going to transfer the call at the same time and you would not be able to handle all the inbound calls.

  1. Upload your MP3 file using the ‘Upload’ button. There are two options here:
    1. Live Person - Upload  MP3 for when a live person answers the phone.
    2. Answering Machine -  Upload MP3 when a voice broadcast answers a machine.

🛈 Files should be in MP3 format and under 3 MB each. Once you have uploaded the files, the name of the MP3 file will show on the right-hand side and both the Live Person and Answering Machine toggles will activate.
