How to setup voice announcement before ringing?
Important: "Voice announcement before ringing" is different than "Voicemail greeting".
It is an optional audio file which you can record to plays before the call starts ringing. Your business may or may not need it.
But a voicemail greeting plays when you don't pick up the call. Almost all users need voicemail greeting.
Sample call flow: Incoming Call || Voice Announcement before Ringing || Ringing Starts || Users Accept Call or User declines the call || Call goes to Voicemail Greeting
Use Cases
- Alert caller before the ringing starts.
Examples: "Please wait while the system finds me..." OR "Please wait while we connect your call to an agent..."
- Out-of-Office. Examples:
"Vacation Alert. I am out of office and will be available starting..."

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
