How do I set up my email notifications and other voicemail options?

Set up your voicemail box with custom greetings, email notifications, retrieval options, and more.

Desktop & web app

Sign in to the desktop or web app.
Select your profile picture in the top right and then choose Settings.
Expand Voice in the left sidebar and then select Voicemail.
From Notifications Options, enable Voicemail-to-email and then enter your email address to receive new message notifications.

Note: Email communications will be sent from @goto.com, @jive.com or @jivecommunications.com. Please ensure these domains are allowed so that emails are not automatically filtered as spam.

Tip: Use a specially formatted email address provided by your cell phone carrier to send notifications via text message (SMS). Check with your carrier for more details.

Enable Attach voicemail recording and then choose the format:

Option	Description
.wav49	Smallest file size, won’t play directly from browser (default).
.wav	Largest file size, more compatible with mobile devices.
.mp3	Smaller file size.

Enable Delete messages after emailing.

Note: Deletion is permanent (we cannot retrieve deleted messages) and will prevent voicemail management from a phone, GoTo, and our mobile app.
From Voicemail box, enable Voicemail transcription to review voicemail transcriptions in the GoTo mobile app or from your voicemail email notification.
Enable Message review to give your callers the option to press # to listen to their message and optionally re-record it.

Note: There is no prompt for callers to press # after recording their voicemail. Make sure to include these instructions in the voicemail greeting.
Enable Escape to operator and then choose an extension to allow your callers to press 0 to be transferred, rather than leaving a message.
Select Change password to change your voicemail password.
- The default password is 0000.
- Your password must be at least four digits.
