800 Link Information - Phone Message & Answering System

We use 800 Link to answer the phone calls from our advertising. The 800 Link system will play our Nexus Sizzle Call, Take a Message, and Capture the Phone Number of every caller, along with the Time, Date, etc. of each caller.

Instructions To Set Up An Account With 800 Link

1. Use my referral link: 800link.com/sponsorsinfo Choose either a Local or 800 number. This line will cost you $9.95 monthly, but you can get it for free. I will explain how further down.

​

2. You will receive an email from 800 Link with your Account Information, Customer ID, and Security Code/Password. Attached to the email is a Quick Reference Sheet that will explain how to change the password.

​

3. Call 800 Link Customer Service at 800-864-2362 and have them load the Nexus Sizzle Call from Jacki Smith’s Account # 5003-58-7527 into your account. You will need to give them your Customer Account # also. If it is after hours you can email them at support@800link.com and include the information above. It will probably done before morning.

4. Log in to your account using your email and Security Code/Password.

• Click on Services.

• Click on your 800 link phone number.

• Under the Standard Settings tab, under Voicemail Set the Outgoing Message to the Nexus Sizzle.

• Set the Action after play to Take Message and check the box to Play Recording Instructions.

• Click Save at the Bottom.

• Next, go to the Notification tab.

• Click on + Add Notification.

• In the popup box for How choose SMS.

• For Where put in your Cell Phone number.

• For Carrier choose your Provider using the drop-down arrow. (Choose Rural Independent if not listed)

• For When choose Only if message/fax received. It is already set to email you with every phone call that you receive.

• Now click Ok to save. Now for every caller that leaves a message you will get a text notification immediately. This allows you to reach out to each caller right then if you are available and answer any questions they might have, or forward any information they might need.

5. Next, click on the Call Reports Tab. Next to Period, you will see Today’s date. There is a

 drop-down arrow to the right with multiple choices. I use Month to Date or Last 7 Days most often. You can also use the calendar and custom-choose the start and end dates you want to see. After you choose, click OK at the bottom, then click Load next to the Date. Now it will load all the information on each call. If they left a message there will be an envelope to the left of the date. There is a Notes column on the far right of each caller to take notes when you phone them. There is not a lot of space so I keep their name, email, and basic information there and I take more detailed notes on each caller in a spiral notebook. Now is a good time to test the system. Call your 800 link number, listen to the entire message, and leave a short message. Now load today’s messages and verify you get a text showing you left a message and the call appears on your calls for today.

6. Next to hear any messages at the top click the tab Messages. To the left of each phone number, there is an arrow click it to play the message. Now you can listen to the message you left to confirm everything is set up correctly.

7. You can keep a list of the callers who are interested in Nexus by using the Contact List tab.
