A callback option allows callers to request a call back
from a live agent instead of waiting on hold in a queue.
How Callback Option Works with IVR -
Caller Inquiry: A
customer calls your business number and reaches the IVR
system.
IVR Greeting: The
IVR welcomes the caller and explains the available
options.
CallBack Menu:
The IVR informs the caller about the wait time in the
queue and offers a callback option.
Caller Request:
The caller can choose to- o Hold: Remain in the queue and wait for an
available agent. o Request Callback: Provide their phone number and
preferred callback time (if offered) through keypad input
or voice commands.
Confirmation: The
IVR confirms the callback request and provides an
estimated timeframe for the call back.
Call Back: The
IVR system automatically dials the caller's number at the
designated time or connects them to an available agent
when one becomes available.
