Actions in a call flow

Architect provides action components to help build a road map and define call flow behavior. This road map dictates how calls are handled from the time they enter the flow until the end of the call. A call flow can support such behaviors as playing a menu, transferring a call to an extension, prompting the user for information and transferring the call based on the caller’s input, passing the call to another IVR, and playing a message.

These actions are available from a call flow’s Architect Toolbox. For more information about actions available in Architect’s task editor, see Task editor actions overview. To help familiarize yourself with actions available for a call flow, review the following pages:
