An IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is a system that can be used to partially or completely automate dialogs on the telephone according to individually configured CallFlows.
The IVR enables complete control of incoming and outgoing calls in the company and controls the processing and distribution of calls in close interaction with the ACD (automatic call distribution). By means of an extensive range of individually configurable features, call flows can be precisely tailored to the calls.
This begins with automatic call acceptance and a friendly greeting and can be supplemented by situation-specific action announcements and notices or even alarm messages. The features of an IVR also allow complete control over the waiting fields of hotlines with treatment options according to calendar, time of day or current workload. In an IVR, data and information can be automatically queried from the callers; in the simplest case, these queries are answered with DTMF inputs. An extension in the direction of a linguistic input of keywords is possible, up to a linguistic interaction with a voice bot with a natural language understanding (natural language understandig).
An IVR has various interfaces through which, for example, databases or other back-end systems can be addressed, enabling individualized service of callers via situation-specific processing up to the fully automated provision of services.
