Voicemail And Keypad Detection In DialNexa

Understand DialNexa voicemail detection, voicemail messages, hangup behavior, dynamic variables in voicemail, and keypad input fields where enabled.

DialNexa voicemail and keypad handling controls what happens when a call reaches voicemail or when DTMF keypad input is part of a call flow. The visible call settings panel supports voicemail detection, hangup behavior, and voicemail messages that can include dynamic variables.

Voicemail is not a failed conversation if your campaign planned for it. It is only chaos when nobody decided what should happen.

Voicemail Options

Voicemail behavior is configured per agent version.

Option	Behavior
Voicemail Detection	Turns voicemail handling on or off.
Hang up if reaching voicemail	Ends the call when voicemail is detected.
Leave a message if reaching voicemail	Speaks the configured voicemail message instead of hanging up.
Voicemail message	Text the agent should leave. It can include placeholders such as {{first_name}}.

Keypad Input Context

DialNexa call data includes keypad-related fields such as keypad timeout, termination key, and digit limit where keypad input is enabled for a use case. If your workspace uses keypad capture, review the expected timeout, accepted termination key, and number of digits with your implementation team before publishing.

Prepare Voicemail For A Campaign

1. Decide whether voicemail is useful

   For some reminders, leaving a short message is useful. For other use cases, hanging up is cleaner.

2. Keep the message short

   Voicemail should identify the reason for the call without sounding like a full script.

3. Check variables

   Add fallback values for every placeholder used in the voicemail message.

4. Test with a voicemail inbox

   Confirm the message sounds natural when recorded.

Voicemail Problems
