Create Multiple Mailboxes
CallPilot can import a text file with comma-separated values (CSV) and use it to create multiple mailboxes at once.
Extension | Mailbox | First Name | Last Name |
---|---|---|---|
2958 | 2958 | Anita | Hunt |
3364 | 3364 | Anita | King |
4766 | 4766 | Samantha | Johnson |
4831 | 4831 | Anita | Smith |
4583 | 4583 | Sarah | King |
We can create (or edit) a file in Excel and save as CSV for importing into CallPilot. Or use Notepad, and separate the fields with comma's.
Just four fields are required: Extension number, Mailbox Number, First Name, and Last Name. The extension and mailbox number are usually the same. Ensure that the first row contains your column headings.
Create a CSV file
For a new installation, use this tool to create a CSV file covering your DN range. Unused mailboxes can be deleted as a maintenance task later. Four fields are created, note that:
- The extension and mailbox number are the same.
- The first and last names will be * - this can be edited later...
Enter the DN range, hit Submit, and find the mailbox.csv file in your downloads folder....
WARNING: This tool will quite happily create HUGE files, don't be silly!
After generating the CSV file, we need to import it in CallPilot Manager:
