Auto Attendant & IVR
Give callers more choices with a multi-level auto attendant.
What is the Auto Attendant?
The auto attendant (also known as a call menu, phone tree, or IVR) allows your callers to choose a department or team member that they wish to be connected to by selecting the desired menu option.
Give your callers even more options by adding submenus to your auto attendant. Now your phone system can have multiple levels of options for callers to choose from.
Streamline your phone system with our auto attendant and route your calls where they need to go!
