What is IVR?

Concurrency & Call Legs

One number handles many calls. Each caller gets a dedicated session—route to agents or ring groups in parallel.

  • One number, many simultaneous calls
  • Each caller runs in an isolated agent session
  • Call legs bill separately when bridged
  • Capacity depends on runtime concurrency
  • Billed in 6-second increments

Example Scenarios

ScenarioSessionsLegs Billed
Two callers hit same number → Agent A & Agent B22
Caller talks to IVR then transferred to staff12 (IVR leg + human leg while bridged)
Ring group answers first; other rings stop11 (only the connected leg bills)

Note: If you forward to a single cellphone, that device can handle one live call at a time. Use ring groups or keep callers in IVR/AI until routed.

Premium Runtime = our higher-accuracy voice + LLM stack (best for complex/regulated calls).

Standard connectors = common calendar/CRM/helpdesk; Advanced connectors = custom/enterprise (CRM, ERP, POS, etc.).

Recording requires lawful notice; storage beyond included hours is billed per 100h block.
