# Set up your Automated Response Menu (IVR) routing in Contact Center Pro

## Overview

Setting up Automated Response Menu (IVR) routing offers your customers an automated menu for self-service assistance. Configure your workflow so callers can use key presses to reach specific queues. This saves your CSRs time and gives callers menu-driven control.

Follow the steps in this guide to configure your IVR settings.

### 

#### Who uses this feature

- Administrators
- Applies to all business types

#### Feature configuration

- Contact Center Pro is currently in Early Access and available for specific accounts. It is subject to change. If you want to enable this feature for your account, book a demo [here](https://www.servicetitan.com/features/pro/contact-center).
- Contact Center Pro requires an [Enterprise Hub](/v1/docs/enterprise-hub-1) network. Contact your Customer Success Manager or Pro Account Manager to request a network.
- The *Edit Routing Workflows* permission is required to use this feature. Please contact the account administrator on your team. For more, see [Manage Contact Center Pro permissions](/v1/docs/manage-contact-center-pro-permissions).

## Things to know

- You create IVR rules while configuring the routing workflows for your contact center. To create or edit a routing workflow, go to **Settings > Routing Workflows**. For more, see [Set call routing workflows in Contact Center Pro](/v1/docs/set-call-routing-rules-in-contact-center-pro).
- You can save the routing workflow editor at any stage, even if the flow isn't complete. You can return later to complete your edits.

## Use cases

- An IVR routes callers based on their needs, such as appointments or billing, ensuring they're connected to the right team.
- If you operate multiple brands under a single organization, an IVR helps identify which brand the caller is trying to reach. This prevents confusion and preserves each brand's identity and customer experience.
- When routing is properly configured, calls are directed straight to the correct agent or department. This reduces wait times and minimizes the need for transfers.

## Step 1: Add the IVR module to your workflow

Add the IVR module to your [call routing workflow](/v1/docs/set-call-routing-rules-in-contact-center-pro) and configure basic settings:

1. In your routing workflow, click **Add**![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-add-circle.png)****. ![In your routing workflow, click Add](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-rmhb54ml.png)
2. On the pop-up that opens, select **IVR**. ![On the pop-up, select IVR](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-gbi3a540.png)
3. (Optional) In the *IVR* flyout that opens, enter the **IVR Name** and configure the greeting audio for your IVR workflow:
  - Click **Upload File** to add a pre-recorded audio file.
  - Enter a text-based greeting in the **Greeting** field.

![Click Upload File to add a pre-recorded audio file](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-d2jei2zj.png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** If you don't upload an audio file, you'll need to type a text-to-speech message for each key option. This is the message callers hear when they interact with the IVR menu.

## Step 2: Set up your menu structure

Plan your IVR menu layout. Determine the number of key options—for example, 1 for appointments, 2 for billing inquiries, and so on. Add descriptive names for each option to support routing clarity in your workflow.

### Configure your main key inputs

Each key input corresponds to a digit the caller presses to trigger a routing action.

To add a key input:

1. In the *Key* section, click the **Key Input** dropdown and select a digit.
2. (Optional) Enter the **Option Name** for clarity in the routing workflow. This name is shown in your routing workflow. ![Configure your main key inputs](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-s573mdcn.png)
3. If you haven't uploaded an audio file, type the text-to-speech message that callers hear for this menu option.

To add additional key options:

1. Click **Add Option**.
2. Select the **Key Input** digit.
3. (Optional) Enter an **Option Name** to help identify this route in the call flow.
4. If you haven't uploaded an audio file, type the text-to-speech message that callers hear for this menu option.

![Add another Key Input option](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-402qr664.png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** You can add up to nine additional options.

To remove a key option:

1. In the *Key* section for the option you want to remove, click **More**![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-more-vert.png)****.
2. Click **Delete Option**. ![Delete a Key in IVR](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-sbv3ibx5.png)

### Configure the fallback for no or invalid input

In the *No or incorrect input* section, select the number of times the IVR should repeat before routing to a final endpoint.

## Step 3: Assign keypress actions

Define the routing action or destination triggered when the caller selects a specific option.

For each key input:

1. Click **Add**![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-add-circle.png)**** to add a routing module. ![Click Add to add a routing module](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-29zdzrw0.png)
2. Select the appropriate routing module for that option. ![Select Queue from the menu option](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/set-up-your-automated-response-menu-ivr-routing-in-contact-center-pro-image-5pbv7v53.png)
3. Click **Add**![](https://cdn.document360.io/961862ab-d0f2-4d91-bb62-a62ee8184eff/Images/Documentation/icon-add-circle.png)**** and assign a rollover routing module.

When all actions are configured, click **Activate** to apply your changes and enable the routing workflow.
