# Respond to Voicemails

When a Customer leaves a voicemail instead of waiting to reach an Agent, the voicemail is handled like any other request from a Customer where you’ll be taken straight to their Customer Profile. A recording of the voicemail will be available in the Conversation Timeline.

## Respond to a voicemail

1. Gladly automatically defaults to the last Channel a Customer contacted you on. In this case, since they last reached out by phone, you’ll notice the reply bar defaults to **Reply with a call**.
2. To call the Customer back, click anywhere along the reply bar, and you’ll see the call window pop up, ready for you to make your call.

> [!NOTE]
> **Contact the Customer through another Channel**
> 
> Just because the Customer reached out by phone doesn't mean you have to contact them through the same Channel. For example. if they have a phone number tagged for SMS or Facebook Messenger enabled, you have the option to send them a message/text as well.
