Hi Niina,
 
While there isn't an option to directly disconnect the call, you can make a Sub menu in your IVR, where you set the greeting playing that would repeat the message 3 times before the call ends (due to no selection being made, as long as you don't set a default route)
 
So you would make the main menu, with the options for the customer to select.
Then you make a sub menu, and you add no active routes on this menu, but set the message you want to be played to the customer before the call ends here.
Then back in your main menu you set keypress 0 to route to the IVR menu you just setup (don't add the optional greeting here)
 
Having the menu repeat 3 times can also be helpful as it will mean if they need to write a number or name down they won't need to call back.

Hi Daniel,
 
Zendesk Talk does not have an API that can dynamically change based on an API call.
 
Zendesk Talk has the following API calls for the IVR Menu, but they are more functions for your agents to be able to create a new IVR, update an IVR, or delete an IVR.
https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/voice/talk-api/ivr_menus/
 
There isn't a way to dynamically change how the IVR works from the built in functionality.
 
The other reference you have found is for Talk Partner edition, which is enables you to choose your own call center software and integrate it with Zendesk’s omnichannel solution.
 
So when using Talk Partner edition, that allows an external telephony integration to connect and make the tickets inside Zendesk, you could check one of those partners that integrate to Zendesk that way, which may have the functionality you are looking for with a more dynamic IVR.

Hi test,

The best way to get to the bottom of the issue will be working with the support team. I believe you have an existing ticket with them.
It is highly likely the issue is related to US phone numbers needing to be registered, this is covered in the article registering to use A2P 10DLC for text messaging (https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408837560730

Hi Jason Tsai 
Our developers have released a fix for that issue now, and that should be resolved.

ArticleHelp with support and ticketing

Question

I have information on another platform or ticketing system that I would like to migrate to Zendesk. How do I do this?

Answer

While not everything can be migrated into Zendesk through the user interface, import information using API resources and features below.

Tickets

To import tickets, use the API and this article: Ticket Import API.

Set a tag to signify that these tickets were added to Zendesk Support using import. Ticket metrics (First reply time and First resolution time, for example) are not imported for the ticket. No triggers are run on imported tickets. 

Users

To import users, use the documentation below:

Organizations

These developer articles are available for organizations:

Articles

To read more on how to import articles, see this article: Help Center API.

Tip: If you have large or complex migrations, hire Zendesk Professional Services to help you.
Note: If you do not feel comfortable using the API, check the Zendesk Marketplace for third-party apps that might be able to assist with this process. Our Zendesk Partners are also available to help you with importing information into your account.

Hi Benj,
 
I've moved your conversation into a ticket as I need to confirm some details on what you are trying to achieve, so discussion this via a ticket is going to be best.
 
But it looks like your above code isn't going to work quite right and you would need to review the article on Using Liquid markup to customize the formatting and placement of text in comments and email notifications
 
If the brands have Generic phone numbers and emails associated then that can all be built as you are trying to achieve, but we will just need to fix the coding and determine which things that you are needing to determine.

Hi Kaan Güleryüz,
I've turned your question into a support ticket as we likely need to gather more details to help assist resolving the issue your account is facing.

Hi Benj,
You can use code like this:

{% capture tags %}
{{ticket.tags}}
{% endcapture %}

{% if tags contains "proactive_text" %}

{% else %}

<br>--<br>
{{current_user.name}}<br>
[{{ticket.account}}]<br>
[{{ticket.brand.name}}]<br>
<br>
tel: {{current_user.phone}}
<br>
email: {{current_user.email}}
<br>
www: <a href='https://www.zendesk.com/' target=_blank'>www.zendesk.com</a>

{% endif %}

You can see what each part does in this image
This is what it looks like when added to a ticket:

Hi Benj,

You could use the placeholder {{ticket.brand.name}} in the Signature code so that it will add the ticket brand details related to the brand the ticket is assigned to.
