Interactive Voice Response(IVR)

Automated call routing driven by spoken prompts and DTMF keypress input.

What it means in practice

IVRs route inbound calls based on caller choices, 'press 1 for sales, press 2 for support'. VICIdial implements IVR via Asterisk dialplans tied to inbound groups. Sophisticated IVRs handle caller ID lookup, account authentication, self-service branching, and fallback-to-human when needed.

How Interactive Voice Response surfaces in VICIPanel

In VICIPanel

VICIPanel's visual IVR builder replaces hand-edited dialplan files. Drag prompts, branch on DTMF or time-of-day, hand off to queues, all without SSH access to the switch.
