Digital receptionist ring rather than hold music

[Joey Taylor]

I would like to set up my digital receptionist so that when it transfers a call to an extension it rings rather than saying "Please hold while I transfer your call..." followed by hold music.

Changing the hold music under Settings > Music on Hold works, but understandably changes the hold music throughout the system which is not what I want.

Is it possible to change _just_ the hold music used when the digital receptionist transfers a call?

There may be, but I'm not aware of a setting specifically for the DR. Perhaps a feature suggestion, where one could select different combinations when a transfer is done. Transfer announcement, or not (untick a box), then changing to either music (perhaps even a particular audio file), or ring-back tone (drop down menu).

Hi Joey Taylor,
You can replace the please_hold.wav file with an empty wav file. To do so you should first create a custom system prompts set.

1. Go in the Management Console's Settings tab and click on System Prompts.
2. Click on Manage Prompt Sets, copy the existing Prompt set Language, and rename to a desired name (example: "Custom")
3. Click once again on the Manage Prompt Sets, and select the custom prompt set you saved.
4. On the "Search Bar" type please_hold, click on the prompt and download it
5. Open the Downloads Folder and rename the "please_hold.wav" to any name
6. Follow this path in your folders: C:\ProgramData\3CX\Instance1\Data\Ivr\Prompts and copy the Empty.wav
7. Paste the Empty.wav in the Downloads Folder and rename it to please_hold.wav
8. Go back to the Management Console click on the please_hold.wav, click on Browse, and select the newly renamed "please_hold.wav" file from the Downloads Folder
This procedure will replace the standard "Please Hold" prompt with a 1 second silence wav file.

Thank you Apostolis, that's what I've done already .

The problem I am trying to solve is having it make a ringing sound after that silence rather than playing the hold music (without it affecting the hold music throughout the system).

You can set the regular MOH to the WAV ring "usprogresstone.wav" and then for HOLD tell your people to not use the hold button but instead use Call Parking. For Parking put your music there.

There is separate hold music options for general HOLD (which is used by the phones hold button and also as you found out the call transfers) and Call Park.

What you can't do is separate phone hold music from call transfer music. These are tied together. The call Park option is your only way.

Thanks for the suggestion, what a shame that hold music and transfer music are tied together .

Hi,

when will you fix this so that we can replace wav file normaly like we did in previous versions just by replacing the file inside management console?
