Touchbase Communicator is a virtual call center. It has been developed to help offices reduce/manage the office incoming phone calls during and/or after hours
- As a call dispatch system: redirection of incoming calls to the requested agent
- As an automated appointment desk: to manage the showing requests (when applicable)
Touchbase will provide you with a transfer line (you need to call your phone service provider to find out how to transfer your lines if you don't have that information).
The set up of your office Touchbase Communicator is usually done by our support team but some adjustments can be done by the admin in the office
The text of the message the caller will hear can be personalized.
Logged as an admin, access the section called Office preferences in the menu on the left,
from the drop down click on Touchbase Communicator
You will see your transfer number
Under the section Welcome message: you can type your general greeting and below in the next section you can type the main message to give instructions to the caller.
Note that a recorded message can be attached if you wish your voice to read the message.
The message can be as simple as:
- If you know the name of the person you wish to speak to, please say their name now.
(those calls are redirected to the agent's cell phone, if the person is not available, they will be invited to leave a message that will be sent to them via email - they will receive a text message alert)
To choose those settings by default for each member
Log intoTouchbase via your admin profile
In profile section - click on the + in front of the name
Tab : Touchbase communicator

Under configuration
1 - the email address of the recipient agent can be found there. If they wish to receive the voicemail to a different email address, the agent can simply enter a new one from his own account
2 - If you wish for them to receive an alert via text message advising them that they received a voicemail via email, click the option Yes and insure that they have their cell number in their Touchbase reception profile (SMS)
3 - Save your changes at the bottom
To test that line, simply call the transfer number directly.
