Play recording while caller is waiting in the queue
AnsweredFeature Request Summary:
Zendesk Talk should have the possibility to add a custom recording to be played while the caller is waiting in the queue. The recording can play after X amount of mins (or secs), and this time should be configurable per number.
Description/Use Cases:
The possibility to play such recording would increase the customer's experience as he/she will not be waiting for a long time without any further information. This recording can also be used to remind the caller that he/she can press 1 at any time to leave a voice message (or 2 for a callback). The time to play such recording should be configurable per line so that an admin can decide to play this recording every X amount of time, e.g. play it every 1 minute while waiting.
Business impact of limitation or missing feature:
The caller has no information that actually he/she is still waiting and also may not remember that pressing 1 allows him/her to just leave a voice mail (or 2 for callback).

I don't know if this helps, but for us, we spliced in a reminder at the callwaiting music minute mark stating they can press 1 for a callback. It isn't foolproof as they don't know the queue size and requires additional work but it was a temporary workaround if you need it asap.

Hello Sydney,
Thanks a lot for your comment and idea, this definitely helps, it is an interesting workaround which we are evaluating. Still... I think that this product feature is still relevant since the "waiting music" and the "reminder message" should be a different recording from my point of view.
Best regards, Alfredo

Agreed! I have upvoted your post and will follow it in case there is a development :)
When we first spliced our wait music, we had the "press 1" notification at the beginning and again a minute in. However, we found people were pressing 1 just before they were being routed to Agents so we ended up editing it again and only having the minute notification.
