Hello!
Does anyone know if caller input is possible on a UC 560 running CUE v7.1? For example, we would like them to be able to dial an extension or "0" when listening to a greeting and get transferred. The option though does not seem readily apparent and I'm not sure if the CLI changes are supported. Thanks!

Yes, that is called Auto Attendant and is supported either in CME itself (B-ACD/AA), or in CUE.

Thanks for the response! I am talking about caller input on individual mailboxes, not an autoattendant. I believe it is a feature in Unity Express v8.5 (I know you can do it in Unity/Unity Connection), but that does not appear to be available on the UC 560.

Hi Ben,
I think this is what you need;
Here is info, the zerooutnumber command was deprecated in CUE 7.1 and replaced with caller-input
To specify the call flow for a specified caller input, use the caller-flow caller-input command in Cisco Unity Express mailbox configuration mode. Use the no or default form of this command to remove the configuration of the call flow.
#caller-flow caller-input input {ignore | repeat-greeting | say-goodbye | skip-greeting | subscriber-signin | transfer-to E164Phone | transfer-operator}
#no caller-flow caller-input input {ignore | repeat-greeting | say-goodbye | skip-greeting | subscriber-signin | transfer-to E164Phone | transfer-operator}
## input | # Specifies the number between 0 and 9 that a caller must dial to initiate a transfer to another phone number. |
# ignore | # Ignore the key stroke and continue to play the greeting uninterrupted. |
# repeat-greeting | # Repeat the greeting from the beginning |
# say-goodbye | # Play the goodbye message and then disconnect the call. |
# skip-greeting | # Skip to the end of the current greeting. |
# subscriber-signin | # Play the subscriber signin prompt. |
# transfer-to E164Phone | # Transfer to the specified E164 phone number if it is not blocked by the appropriate restriction table. |
# transfer-operator | # Transfer to the operator. If no operator is defined, the key stroke is ignored and the greeting plays uninterrupted. |
None.
#Cisco Unity Express mailbox configuration (config-mailbox)
#This command replaces the zerooutnumber command in releases 7.1 and later.
#The following example configures the call flow for a mailbox to forward a caller to 555-0200 if the caller dials 2:
#se-10-0-0-0# config t
#se-10-0-0-0(config)# voice mailbox owner user8
se-10-0-0-0(config-mailbox)# caller-flow caller-input 2 transfer to 5550200

Beginning in version 7.1, you can customize how the call flow precedes in response to keys pressed by the caller during a call. For each mailbox, the mailbox owner or system administrator can assign one of the following actions to the keys input by the caller:
#•Transfer the call to another number
•Connect to the operator
•Ignore the input
•Repeat the greeting
•Say good bye
•Skip the greeting
•Proceed with subscriber sign-in
These actions can be assigned only to single digit input by the user, such as the numbers zero through nine (0 - 9), the asterisk (*), or the pound sign (#).
#You can also optionally restrict the transfers using the caller input feature by configuring the call-flow restriction table.

Caller input
Enables callers to control how the call flow precedes by pressing keys. For each mailbox, the mailbox owner or system administrator can assign actions to the keys such as:
• Transfer the call to another
number
• Connect to the operator
• Repeat the greeting
•From the CLI: See Cisco Unity Express CLI Administrator Guide.
•From the GUI: Use the Voice Mail > Mailboxes option and the online help
Cheers!

thanks!!!
i wasn't sure if you could do this with the CUE on the UC 560 since it doesn't really support anything configured outside of the GUI tool.
i'll give it a go.

Rob, thanks for your help on this!
I just want it to forward to another mailbox, not an extension. Any easy way to do this? This is Unity 7 remember, the UC 560 doesn't seem to support v8.5
Again, thanks!
