Start

The Start node is the entry point of every IVR Studio call flow.

1 min read

The Start node is where every call enters a flow. It has no settings and exactly one exit. Every flow needs one Start node, and Start must be connected to another node, or the flow cannot be published. The builder adds Start for you, so it doesn't appear in the node palette.

Property Value
Settings None
Exits One
Required Yes, one per flow

Flow checks#

  • "Flow has no Start node." (error)
  • "Start isn't connected to anything." (error)
  • Any node that can't be reached from Start gets a warning.

Tip#

Connect Start to a Config node first so the voice and language apply to the whole call.
