Exotel’s Smart IVR System helps your business save money and make your customers happy at the same time. Build stronger customer relationships with AI-powered interactions.

What is an IVR?

IVR stands for Interactive Voice Response. It is a technology that allows a pre-recorded voice to interact with humans through voice and DTMF tones input via the keypad. Meaning, when you call, the voice on the other end will be computer-generated. You use your phone’s keyboard to create a certain outcome.

Types of IVR System

Single-level IVR

This is the simplest form of IVR. In this type, you can only add a single layer of IVR to your call flow. Single level IVR is perfect for simple use cases where one input is enough to connect an agent or trigger a message

Multi-level IVR

You can think of multi-level IVR as an IVR within an IVR. Sometimes it’s unmanageable to create an IVR menu with a 0-9 prompt. In this case, you can use multiple layers of IVR in your call flow to streamline the workflow.

How Exotel Smart IVR Software Works?

Collecting Customer Info

When a customer calls, the first step is to gather information about their reason for calling through an IVR. The customer enters inputs, and this information is collected.

Arranging the Call Queue

The next step is to arrange the call queue and sort customers into a waiting list based on agent availability and suitability. ACD considers factors like call volume, time of day, queue wait times, and the department handling the call to determine the queue order.

 

Automated Call Distribution

Finally, ACD distributes the call to the best-equipped agent to handle the customer's specific concern based on the information gathered in the first two steps.
