Creating a Blank IVR

The following describes how to create a new Interactive Voice Response (IVR) service on behalf of an existing customer. This is a versatile type of service that provides a bespoke, interactive caller experience. Callers to an IVR will hear a series of audio prompts that provide them with information and allow them to express their intent. Depending on how the IVR is configured, each call will be directed to an appropriate department or agent for resolution.

If you haven't already created the customer that will operate this service, you will need to do that first. While doing so, you can set up an initial service for the customer, and you can then add more services as needed.
