Wait prompt
Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2017 3:12 pm
What is the best way to allow a user to place the IVR on hold and then press 1 to continue? We have a prompt that asks for the right person and if they need to get that person to the phone we let them press 1. For example: "Okay. If they’re available and can come to the phone, press 1 and I’ll wait. If you can take a message for them to call us back, press 2" >>> press 1 "Great! I’ll wait. The phone will be on hold. To continue with the call, press 1."
I'm using a yes/no prompt for "to continue with call, press 1" . I'd like to allow that hold time to be at least 120 seconds, but I don't see where I can set that. I looked at using the initial input timeout setting but setting that to 120 causes an error.
Is there a way workaround to accomplish what we're trying to do?
