I have found the same situation and the only answer I could provide is using the in-queue or outbound call flow to play the message.
The in queue flow seems like the right way to go but the message often gets cut off as the the lag time is short.
There may be some opportunity in using the in-queue flow with a bullseye ring and a special skill to lock up the call before allowing it go to an agent.
The Outbound flow can play the message before the caller gets to queue so the prompt is played in full.
I feel like there may be restrictions for certain customers on sending the dialer call to a flow but I'm not 100% on that.

Subject: Greeting Before Routing to Agent
I can't seem to find a way to configure a recorded greeting in an Outbound Campaign before an agent.
I'm looking for the ability to play a recorded greeting "Hi, an agent will be with you shortly" - prior to the agent answering a progressive outbound call. Is this possible?
The reasoning for this, is we are dealing with a little lag in some calls. Doesn't seem to be all, but a percentage of them have a delay in the customer answering and the agent getting the call and replying. I THINK this may be due to some internet lag with some agents. I'm hoping a recording will help alleviate abandons or confusion for these cusotmers.
Thanks.
