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.
