When you create a menu, you must select the type of action that each key should perform. These actions are:
| Action | Description |
| Auto Attendant | Forwards the call to the Auto Attendant so the caller can dial-by-name or dial-by-extension. |
| Go to mailbox number | Routes the call to a specified voice-messaging mailbox. For example, a non-business hours mailbox or an information-only mailbox. |
| Subscriber login | Routes the call to the voice messaging pilot extension so that users can log in to the personal mailbox. |
| Transfer to Caller Application | Transfers the call to an additional caller application. |
| Continue menu | Invokes the next action in the menu. For example, the Instructions prompt can use this as the Next action. |
| Hang up | Ends the call. |
| Transfer to extension | The system transfers the call to another extension. For example:
|
| Not active | The default for all DTMF keys before you assign an action. Unused keys must maintain this action. You cannot assign an action to the On Answer menu item. |
| Play prompt | Plays the specified audio file or text-to-speech prompt. After the system plays the prompt, the caller application starts the next action. |
