How many IVRs can I set?

How many IVRs can I set?

Short answer: There’s no fixed product limit. You can create and manage as many IVRs as your business needs in the MyOperator panel.


When to use multiple IVRs

  • Different brands or business units
  • Region‑specific menus and languages
  • Day/time‑based experiences (weekdays vs weekends, holidays)
  • Campaign‑specific routing (sales promos, events)

Create a new IVR (step‑by‑step)

  1. Sign in to your MyOperator panel.
  2. Open Calls → Design Callflow.
  3. Click Create New Callflow.
  4. Enter the greeting, add menu options, and set destinations (departments/queues/users).
  5. Click Save to Preview and review prompts and paths.
  6. Click Publish to activate.

Assign IVRs by number or schedule

  • Per number: Map different phone numbers to different IVRs in Numbers/Call Routing.
  • By day/time: Use Business Hours/Schedule to activate different IVRs for specific windows.
  • By caller intent: Chain menus so an initial IVR routes to specialized sub‑IVRs.

Best practices for many IVRs

  • Name clearly: Include brand/region and time window (e.g., “IVR – North – Weekdays 9–6”).
  • Keep options consistent: Reuse numbering where possible to reduce caller confusion.
  • Centralize shared logic: Put common steps in sub‑flows to avoid duplicate maintenance.
  • Version safely: Duplicate an IVR to experiment; publish only after testing.
  • Document owners: Record who maintains each IVR to speed up changes.

Verify and test

  1. From Preview, send a test call for each IVR.
  2. Dial the actual number (if mapped) and try key routes, no‑input, and wrong‑input cases.
  3. Check Call Logs for the expected path (e.g., IVR → Sales → Queue → Agent).

Success criteria: The right greeting plays, each option routes correctly, fallbacks work, and after‑hours behavior matches your plan.


Troubleshooting

  • Can’t see a new IVR: Ensure you published the flow and have the correct permissions.
  • Wrong IVR answers a number: Review Numbers/Call Routing mapping and schedule priorities; resolve overlaps.
  • Audio mismatch: Reassign the correct greeting in the IVR node or Audio Library.
  • High maintenance overhead: Consolidate shared logic into sub‑flows; standardize prompts and numbering.

FAQs

Does having many IVRs affect billing?
Typically, IVR count does not affect billing; users/seats and telephony usage do. Refer to your contract for specifics.

Is there a performance cap?
Operationally, keep flows organized and avoid excessive nesting; there is no fixed configured limit for number of IVRs.

Can one number use multiple IVRs at different times?
Yes—schedule different IVRs by day/time using Business Hours/Schedule.
