Workflows
IVR End Call action
New End IVR call action allows workflow owners to terminate IVR calls directly, rather than waiting for users to disconnect or end the IVR call when the workflow concludes, as is the current practice.This provides flexibility and control to the workflow owners to end the call and not leave the customer with an infinite elevator music.

Search for “End IVR call“
Select from the following set of options
End abruptly – By default IVR would be terminated instantly without any warning or a message.
Text message – Workflow owners can type a message along with the number of loops before the IVR call is terminated
Voice message – Workflow owners can choose to upload a voice message or branded music or any other audio format to be played before the IVR call is terminated along with the loops

Enter the tip amount.
