What is an auto attendant?

If you’re unable to answer an incoming call, YouMail’s auto attendant app answers for you. The caller receives a premium greeting that offers callers smart routing options. For example, they can press 0 to connect to your partner or 4 to reach your personal number.

YouMail then routes them to whatever number is associated with their choice. You can set 10 different phone numbers to be connected to digits between 0 and 9, allowing customers to get quick help for whatever they’re calling about.

Why get an auto attendant
with YouMail?

Missing important calls can mean missing crucial opportunities for you to grow. And the truth is – whether it’s someone new or a long-standing caller – most people don’t enjoy leaving voicemail. With YouMail’s auto attendant phone system, you can instantly forward any caller to any additional number you’d like.

Unlike forwarding services from wireless carriers, YouMail allows you to enter multiple phone lines and doesn’t force callers into a single number. Plus, YouMail is far more affordable than PBX or IVR, which often costs hundreds of dollars per month.
