Frequently asked questions about Cloud IVR
IVR stands for interactive voice response and refers to an automated phone system where users can interact with a pre-recorded menu through DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) or voice. IVR menus help companies to understand what a user is looking for before connecting the user to a live agent. It then routes the call to the appropriate agent or resources, according to pre-determined logic.
Businesses that receive a high number of inbound calls can use IVR menus to effectively manage agent resources while continuing to provide good customer experience. In addition, businesses that make outbound calls can also benefit from IVR menus through the use of answering machine detection (AMD). AMD ensures that the outbound call is answered by a human, before connecting to a live agent to maximize opertaional efficiency.
There are a number of out of the box IVR solutions. But if you want complete control over your call routing, numbers, call quality and troubleshooting then you should consider building your own IVR application. Telnyx users can start building IVR menus using our APIs and following our guides and tutorials.
