To go live with IVR Studio, sign up at ivr.edesy.in (Rs 20 free credit, no card), build a flow from a template, test it with a call to your phone, publish it, and connect a phone number. KYC is needed only to buy a number. Outbound calls can also start from your system through the API.

## Steps

The dashboard shows the same checklist until each step is done.

| Step | What to do | Guide |

| 1. Sign up | Create an account at [ivr.edesy.in](https://ivr.edesy.in). Rs 20 of free credit is added. | |

## FAQ

### Is there a free trial?

There is free credit, not a timed trial: Rs 20 is added on sign-up, with no card needed. That covers about 13 minutes of calls at Rs 1.50 per minute.

### Do I need KYC to start?

Not to build and test flows. KYC is needed before you buy a phone number. Documents are PAN and Aadhaar, and review takes about 24 hours.

### Can I test without buying a number?

You can place a test call from the builder once your workspace has a number to call from. If it has none, the test call returns "no caller ID".

### How long does setup take?

Building and testing a simple menu from a template takes minutes. Going live on a number also depends on KYC review, which takes about 24 hours.

### Can my team work in the same account?

Yes. Workspaces support team invites with roles, and one Edesy login works across all Edesy apps.

### Where do I get an API key?

On the **API Keys** page in the portal. See the [API overview](https://edesy.in/docs/ivr/api).
