Record and replace any audio type

There are three ways you can add custom audio to Spoke Phone:

1. Record them yourself using the Spoke Phone app.
2. Make a recording using a voice recording app/software and upload it to Spoke Phone.
3. Use a professional recording and upload it to Spoke Phone.

Step 1: Add a new audio recording

1. Login in to your Account Portal online.
2. Go to Audio library
3. Click on the Audio library panel to expand this section.
4. Click the Add button on the far right to open the Add audio pop up window.
5. Click the Add audio type? drop-down and select the relevant audio type.

To record a new audio message via a phone call:

   2. Select a user from the dropdown options. 
   3. Click the call now button.
   4. The selected user will immediately receive an automated call via the Spoke Phone app.
   5. When they answer the call, they can follow the prompts to record a new audio message.

Alternatively, to upload an audio file:

1. Click upload file and select the relevant file to upload it as an audio asset.
2. Uploaded files must be of .WAV type (extension), and LESS than 10mb.
3. File names should not contain any spaces or special characters.

Step 2: Rename the recording

The recording has now been added. Give it a logical name so you can remember it/find it in the next step.

1. Open the Audio Library panel again (if it closed).
2. Click on the drop-down View audio type and select the relevant audio type to filter results.

2. Navigate to the audio type you just added.
   • Certain audio types can be set up differently for each instance (i.e. a different voicemail for each call group, or a different after-hours message for each office-hours rule).
   • To configure any of these audio types, follow the links at the bottom of the page, navigate to the correct instance (i.e. call group), and scroll down until you find the relevant field. 
3. Click on the field to see the drop-down options.
4. Select the new recording you just added.
