What is IVR auto-attendant?
Have you ever called a business phone number and been answered by an automated greeting followed by a pre-recorded message? That’s an interactive voice response letting a customer and business phone system have a simple conversation that gives people the answers they need.
IVR auto-attendant is a professional ‘Welcome Message’ played to your customers and allowing them to choose from different options. A typical auto-attendant message sounds like “Welcome to 'myCompanyName, please press 1 for Sales, 2 for Accounts or 3 for Technical Support.”
You can configure up to 3 menu options, but you will need to provide us with the number to which each option must be connected
