Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
IVR Auto Attendant works like a virtual receptionist, greeting callers and directing them to the right department, extension, or call queue. Callers can use simple menu options such as “Press 1 for Sales” or “Press 2 for Billing,” helping businesses manage incoming calls without relying on a receptionist for every call.

What Is an IVR Auto Attendant!
An auto attendant is an automated phone system that greets incoming callers and directs them to the appropriate department, extension, or call queue. It can reduce the need for a receptionist to manually answer and transfer every call.
Skill-based Routing
Combine IVR with skill-based routing to direct callers to agents based on factors such as department, expertise, or language. This can reduce unnecessary transfers and help callers reach the right team faster.
Multi-level IVR
Multi-level IVR lets you create menus within menus to handle more complex call flows. For example, callers might press 1 for Sales and then choose between New Orders, Existing Orders, or Account Questions.
Workforce optimization
Use IVR and call-routing rules to direct callers to the appropriate team or available agent. This can distribute calls more efficiently and reduce unnecessary transfers between departments.
Forwarding to an external number
Forward IVR calls to external numbers when needed, such as a mobile phone, remote employee, another office, or an answering service. This gives your team more flexibility when staff are working away from the main office.
Set up your IVR in minutes!
Opening Hours
Set business hours so calls can follow different routes when your office is open or closed. After-hours calls can be sent to voicemail, another number, or a dedicated out-of-hours menu.
IVR Menu
Create menu options for different departments, teams, or call groups. For example, callers can press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support, or 3 for Billing.
Voicemail Message
Upload personalized greetings and voicemail messages to your library and use them at different stages of your IVR call flow.
Benefits of IVR - Auto Attendant
Automatically route calls to queues
Use IVR menu selections and routing rules to direct callers to the appropriate department, extension, or call queue.
Manage High Call Volumes
Handle incoming calls more efficiently by automatically directing callers instead of requiring staff to answer and transfer every call manually. Use consistent greetings and menu options even during busy periods.
Improved customer satisfaction
A clear IVR menu can reduce unnecessary transfers and help callers reach the right team faster. Keeping menus short and easy to understand can also make the calling experience less frustrating.
Support Multiple Offices and Remote Teams
Route calls between different offices, remote employees, or external numbers from one IVR menu. This makes it easier to manage incoming calls across distributed teams.
Advanced feature (IVR vs Ring Groups)
A ring group typically sends an incoming call to several extensions based on predefined ringing rules. An IVR first gives callers menu options and then routes the call based on their selection. The two features can also work together—for example, “Press 1 for Sales” can route the caller to a sales ring group.
Scalability
Add new departments, menu options, extensions, and routing rules as your business grows. A flexible IVR lets you update your call flow without rebuilding the entire phone system.
