Voice Settings
This API lets you view and manage the account settings of your Zendesk voice account. See Enabling Talk and configuring general settings in Zendesk help.
JSON format
Voice Settings are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:
Name | Type | Read-only | Mandatory | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
agent_confirmation_when_forwarding | boolean | false | false | When true, agents must press a key to answer calls forwarded to their phones. This prevents calls from forwarding to an agent's personal voicemail if they do not take the call |
agent_wrap_up_after_calls | boolean | true | false | Legacy setting, now controlled for most accounts on a per-number basis. When true, talk agents have time after each call to finish adding details to the ticket |
maximum_queue_size | integer | false | false | New calls that exceed this limit are directed to voicemail. Allowed values are 0, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50. |
maximum_queue_wait_time | integer | false | false | Callers who wait longer than this limit are directed to voicemail. Allowed values are 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30. |
only_during_business_hours | boolean | false | false | Legacy setting, now controlled for most accounts on a per-number basis. When true, calls will be routed to available agents based on the business hours defined in your Support schedule |
recordings_public | boolean | false | false | When true, allows the requester to see recordings from live calls that are added to tickets |
supported_locales | array | true | false | List of translation locales supported for the account |
voice | boolean | false | false | When true, allows agents to make themselves available to answer calls. Your phone number can still accept voicemails when set to false |
voice_ai_display_transcript | boolean | false | false | When true, displays call transcription relating to a call recording on a new voice ticket. |
voice_ai_enabled | boolean | false | false | When true, displays call summary relating to a call recording on new voice tickets. |
