For example, we want to customers press 1 to reception, press 2 to Support Team, press 3 to Sales Team. Then you need to record a prompt like “Welcome to Yeastar, press 1 to reception, press 2 to Support Team, press 3 to Sales Team”. You can upload the prompt in the path: Settings---PBX---Voice Prompts---Custom Prompts, you can also record a prompt. If you want to upload a prompt, then the prompt should be the following format, you can use WavePad or other types of softs to transfer the specific format of prompt.
