How It Works

When a caller leaves a voicemail, VestaCall's system transcribes the audio using AI and sends you an email within seconds. The email includes the caller's number, call time, transcription text, and an attached MP3. Click the attachment to listen, or read the transcript without leaving your inbox.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does voicemail-to-email delivery work?

Voicemail emails are typically delivered within 30 seconds of the caller hanging up. Transcription quality may affect delivery speed slightly for longer messages.

How accurate is the voicemail transcription?

VestaCall's AI transcription achieves 85–95% accuracy on clear recordings in English. Accuracy may be lower with heavy accents, background noise, or technical jargon.

Can multiple people receive the same voicemail?

Yes. You can configure voicemail-to-email to CC multiple addresses, send to a shared inbox, or forward to a specific team member based on the extension called.

Are voicemails stored anywhere besides email?

Yes. All voicemails are stored in your VestaCall dashboard for the retention period set on your plan (30–365 days). You can listen, download, or delete from the portal.

Does voicemail-to-email work for shared call queues?

Yes. Queue voicemail can be emailed to a group inbox or individual supervisor, so missed calls are always followed up regardless of who was on duty.
