Ability to see option pressed on an IVR

Completed


Posted Apr 16, 2019

I think it would be a good idea to be able to see what option a user has dialled on the Talk IVR.

This would make for good reporting in Analytics as you would be able to see where calls went off to.

Yes I would like this. We would like to be able to do analytics on where / how someone travelled through the IVR and how long this has taken.

This would be huge and very helpful it Zendesk had this capability

Agreed. This would be a game-changer in analyzing how successful our IVR actually is.

It could help also the agent responding to a call, if the agent could see this information on the incoming call information, or on the ticket created when call is opened.

In many cases this might be clear, but for example when answering as a secondary group, agent might be responding to multiple types of issues, and information might be help the agent in the beginning of the call.

I understand, that this would have good use cases for reporting as well, as mentioned above.

We woud really appreciate to track IVR interactions to improve the customer journey in this channel.

50% of our interactions are on phone. So it is still the most important channel.

A high-profile client of ours is asking for this data.

Even the ability to run a trigger that matches on IVR options selected would be great. e.g. if a customer says "Press 1 to make this a priority ticket". Right now I can't run a trigger to change the priority based on this...

Our situation truly needs this feature as part of our business model we transfer daily a great number of calls to outside numbers that do not have the ability to use Zendesk.

This would be very valuable indeed, what seems like a fairly intuitive IVR can actually results in a lot of frustration for some customers.

+1 this feature is a must have to track the success of our phone line IVR and forecast call volume shifts as we make changes to our menu

How is it not possible? What's the point of having a complex IRV system if we can know every option the user chooses? This is very past due.

1


IVR routing and priority lines are great for CX, but our agents are still left blind as to where that call is coming from and that can immediately become bad CX.

A customer calls and selects issue X, then still has to explain to the agent that they are calling about issue X. They are left wondering (or asking outright) why there is a prompt if they have to explain it anyway.

Are we there yet?

I'm currently setting up a new IVR menu for a Zendesk Enterprise customer who has this exact requirement. Any chance this feature will go live in or before 2023 Q3 ? Just a tag in the ticket with the last made IVR choice is all i need.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for reaching out! We are thinking in the same direction and at the moment scoping the experience to provide tags with IVR keypresses. We will update soon about the details of the release. Can't commit on the timelines of Q3 though, but hopefully we should be able to get a version out in H2, 2023. 

Thanks

Rohan

hey Rohan Gupta

Is there any update on when the ability to report on IVR keypress will become available? 

As a Zendesk Partner, I've got quite a few customers asking for this feature - without it, it's very hard to analyze what keypress is being selected most often etc by customers.

Also looking for an update on this

1


Please update on this.. Currently on my 4th customer in a row who needs this feature!

Indeed  it is much needed and so obvious feature - such as when people make choices in your answer bot, you know what selections they made to get to you, it would be given that agent needs to see what option client chose on IVR.
