Deploy the IVR Channel

After the IVR channel has been created, deploy it so the platform can begin importing feedback from your external IVR system. Depending on your implementation, deployment can be completed manually or through the API.

  • Create and save the IVR channel.
  • Deploy the channel using one of the following methods:
    • Deploy it manually from the Inbox.
    • Deploy it programmatically through the API using the required identifiers.

After deployment is complete, the IVR channel is ready to receive and import customer feedback collected through your external IVR solution.

Notes

  • Both manual and API deployment are supported.
  • Check identifiers before deploying through the API.

Limits / Notes

  • The IVR channel is intended exclusively for importing customer feedback collected through external IVR systems.
