# Uploading Sound files to VoIPNow

This article covers the uploading of new sound files to our VoIPNow portal.

{% hint style="info" %}
The sound file needs to be a .wav or .mp3 file type for best results.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1** - Login to the VoIPNow portal with your service provider account or VoIP bundle account

*URL -* [*sip01.mhn.net.au*](http://sip01.mhn.net.au/)

**Step 2** - Navigate to the user you wish to upload the sound file to, in the below example we have used the user ‘Call Handling’ because all the IVR and Queue extensions are setup there.

**Step 3** - When in the user management click on the ‘Sounds’ button, it will look like the icon below:

**Step 5** - Give the new sound a name that you can use to easily locate it (e.g. for a welcome message you can just use “ClientName\_Greeting”), select the sound file and tick ‘Default Sound File’.

**Step 6** - Click OK at the bottom of the page to upload the sound file.

You can now select the sound file to apply to a queue or IVR.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://kb.hostednetwork.com.au/support/services/voice-over-ip-voip/general/voipnow-guides/uploading-sound-files-to-voipnow.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
