IVR flows
An IVR flow, short for Interactive Voice Response flow, refers to the sequence of interactions and menu options that a caller encounters when interacting with an IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system.
IVR systems are automated telephony systems that allow callers to interact with a pre-recorded voice menu using their phone's keypad or voice commands. The IVR flow guides callers through a series of prompts, offering them choices and options to direct their call efficiently to the appropriate department, service, or information.
Let's understand how to add an IVR flow to your Cloud Agent account.
- Navigate to 'Admin -> Configurations -> IVR Flows' to access the IVR Flows page.
- Click on the "New IVR Flow" button in the top right corner.

IVR Trackpoint Data on the Agent Toolbar
The IVR Trackpoint data configured in your IVR flow can now be displayed in the agent toolbar. This allows agents to have context on the customer's journey through the IVR system.
To know how this appears on the agent's screen, refer here.
Note:
This feature is available only if the "IVR Flow Journey" setting is enabled in your account's Admin Settings.
