IVR Flow Builder

The IVR builder is a flow system with a publish step, which matters more than it sounds: you can edit a live menu without the edit being live. Flows can be previewed and placed on a genuine test call before publishing, so a broken menu is caught by you rather than by callers. Flows are then assigned to specific numbers, and each number's assignment can be changed independently.

What IVR Builder gives you

Build, preview and publish call flows, assign them to numbers, and test them on a real call before they go live.

Publish is a separate step

Draft changes to a live menu and publish when ready, instead of editing production directly.

Test on a real call first

A test call runs the flow end to end so you hear what the caller will hear before publishing.

Per-number assignment

Different numbers can carry different flows, and assignments can be moved without rebuilding.

Your own audio or generated prompts

Upload recorded prompts, or preview generated ones, per flow step.

Call and email logs per flow

See what callers actually did in the menu, including where they dropped out.

Voicemail as a terminal step

A flow can end in voicemail rather than dead air when nobody is available.

How IVR Builder works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    Create a flow and lay out the menu steps.

  2. 2

    Upload audio prompts, or preview generated ones.

  3. 3

    Run a test call to hear the flow as a caller would.

  4. 4

    Publish the flow when it behaves correctly.

  5. 5

    Assign it to one or more numbers.

  6. 6

    Review call logs to see where callers actually go.

What IVR Builder does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • This builds a menu-driven IVR. If you want callers to say what they need in natural language instead of pressing keys, that is a conversational voice agent, which is a different product.
  • Prompt audio generated for a flow is not a substitute for a professional voice artist where brand voice matters.

Common uses

  • Main switchboard menus

  • Department routing

  • Out-of-hours handling

  • Self-service information lines
