How can I update my email for voicemails?

Summary (What you’ll achieve):
Update the email address (or addresses, if enabled on your plan) that receive voicemail notifications from your IVR flow.

Use when: Your team mailbox changed (e.g., from sales@ to support@) or you want voicemails to reach a shared inbox.


Prerequisites

  • Access: You’re an Admin (or a role with permission to edit IVR/Call Flows).
  • Where: Use the web dashboard (best supported path).
  • What you need: The target inbox (e.g., support@example.com). If using a shared mailbox or helpdesk, confirm it can receive external emails.
What is IVR?
Interactive Voice Response—the call menu (“Press 1 for Sales…”) your callers hear.

Step-by-step: Update the voicemail email

  1. Sign in to your MyOperator dashboard.
  2. In the left navigation, select Call → Design IVR Flow.
  3. Choose one of the following:
    • Edit an existing Advanced Call Flow: Click ⋯ → Edit next to your active flow.
    • Create a new Advanced Call Flow: Click Create New Call Flow → Advanced Call Flow.
  4. In the IVR canvas, locate the Voicemail node used on your call path.
    • If there are multiple Voicemail nodes (e.g., Sales and Support branches), repeat steps 5–7 for each.
  5. Click the Voicemail node, then select Edit.
  6. In Email recipients, enter the destination address (e.g., support@example.com).
  7. Click Save (on the node), then Save/Publish the flow (top-right) to apply changes.

Verify it worked

  1. Place a test call to your number and leave a short voicemail (e.g., “Test voicemail for email routing on ”).
  2. Check the destination inbox for a new voicemail email.
  3. In the dashboard, go to Call → Reports/Voicemails and confirm the latest entry matches your test.

Expected result: A voicemail notification email arrives at the updated address, and the test entry appears in Voicemail reports.


Troubleshooting

<details><summary>Not receiving emails at the new address</summary>

  • Confirm the email is spelled correctly in the Voicemail node.
  • Check Spam/Junk and create an allow rule for MyOperator voicemail notifications.
  • Ensure you Saved/Published the flow after editing.
  • If you have multiple Voicemail nodes, update all relevant nodes.
  • Verify your role has permission to edit and publish IVR changes.

</details><details><summary>I can’t find the Voicemail node</summary>

  • Use the IVR canvas search/zoom to scan branches (Sales, Support, After-hours).
  • If your flow is Basic, create or switch to an Advanced Call Flow and add a Voicemail node.

</details><details><summary>We use a shared inbox/helpdesk</summary>

  • Confirm the shared mailbox accepts external emails and is not restricted to internal senders.
  • If your helpdesk uses inbound aliases, use the correct routing address (e.g., tickets+voicemail@example.com).

Notes & limitations

  • Plan/feature availability can affect the number of recipients and notification options.
  • Changes take effect after you Save/Publish the flow.
  • For governance, consider routing to a team mailbox rather than a personal address.
