How to Configure and Use the 'IVR Menu' Component in wolkvox Studio
Table of Contents
Introduction
The **"IVR Menu"** component allows you to offer customers a menu of options during a call, directing them to different routes in the flow (such as skills, WhatsApp, messages, recordings, etc.) based on the key they press on their phone. It is a key component for building clear and organized **IVR** (Interactive Voice Response) trees within **Voice-type routing points**.
Configuration
- In the left sidebar, under the **Basics** group, drag the **IVR Menu** component onto the design canvas.
- Double-click the **IVR Menu** component to open its configuration panel.
- In the **"Menu Message"** field, select the pre-loaded audio that contains the announcement for the customer, for example: *"Welcome, for technical support press 1, for sales press 2, to speak with collections press 3..."*
- In the **"Attempts"** field, define how many opportunities the customer will have to enter a valid option (e.g., 3 attempts).
- Once the audio and number of attempts are selected, click **"Save Menu Configuration"** to apply the changes.

- From the **"IVR Menu"** component, use the arrow icon to connect it to the components that will represent each route (e.g., **Transfer to Skill**, **WhatsApp**, **Record Message**, **End**, etc.).
- When creating each link, a window will appear to select the option number the customer must press to follow that route.
- The menu supports up to **10 options**, corresponding to keys **0 to 9**. You can also use **'*'** if needed.
- Each arrow leaving the **IVR Menu** component will display the associated option number (**0, 1, 2, 3**, etc., or **PULSE/***).
- Ensure that all options announced in the audio have their respective route configured in the diagram.

- It is important to define what happens when the customer does not press any option. To do this, create a route from the **"IVR Menu"** component.
- In the selection window, choose the **"PULSE"** option. This route can:
- Return the call to the **"IVR Menu"** again (repeat the message).
- Send the call to an **"End"** or another component (e.g., a farewell message).
