The template for the notification email is stored in the ${emailbody} variable, defined in voicemail.conf or one of its includes. You just have to define it. Feel free to mix in any of these system variables while you’re at it:
- VM_NAME
-
The name of the subscriber for whom the message was left
- VM_DUR
-
The duration, in seconds, of the message
- VM_MSGNUM
-
The number of the message relative to the subscriber’s mailbox
- VM_MAILBOX
-
The mailbox number of the subscriber
- VM_CALLERID
-
The caller ID string for the caller who left the message
- VM_DATE
-
The date and time the message was left, relative to the time zone specified in voicemail.conf for this subscriber
Consider the following email body declaration:
*************************************************************************************************
emailbody=Hello ${VM_NAME},\n\nThere is a new voice mail message in mailbox number ${ VM_MAILBOX}. It was left on ${VM_DATE} from ${VM_CALLERID}. To listen to this message, dial 1000 from your desk phone or from an outside phone. \n\nThanks,\nThe Kartook Voicemail Test System *************************************************************************************************
This message would appear more or less as follows, when used to send a voice mail notification:
Hello kartook,
There is a new voicemail message in mailbox number 7200. It was left on 3/23/2009
12:42:42 from (440) 111-1111. To listen to this message, dial 1000 from your desk phone
or from an outside phone.
Thanks,
The Kartook Voicemail Test System
The \n token, common in Unix, starts a new line. If the recorded message were actually attached to the email, we would need to use a different message template, indicating that.
