Configure How Your Agent Handles Automated Phone Menus
IVR (Interactive Voice Response) settings determine how your agent detects and navigates through automated phone menus. These settings are crucial for scenarios where your agent needs to interact with other phone systems.
Enable automatic detection of automated phone menus during calls. When enabled, the agent uses a specialized model to identify when it’s interacting with an IVR system.
While IVR detection may add a few milliseconds of latency to the call, it significantly improves the agent’s ability to navigate automated systems successfully.
Choose a specific voice for IVR interactions that prioritizes clarity and recognition by automated systems.Options include:
Use Standard Voice (same as regular conversations)
Select a specialized voice optimized for IVR interactions
Using a specialized voice for IVR interactions can improve success rates when dealing with automated systems that may have trouble recognizing more natural-sounding voices.
Configure how IVR interactions are marked in transcripts and logs. Options:
Don’t tag
Tag with <ivr> at the start of IVR interactions
Tagging IVR text can be useful for analysis and debugging, but may affect how the transcript appears in your systems if you’re not handling the tags appropriately.
