Let's Talk’s Call Center feature allows districts to use the platform as their comprehensive customer service solution and call center — allowing you to take incoming calls, make outgoing calls, and manage the call and phone agent queues. 

The Call Center can be managed virtually, improve customer experience, increase first-call resolution, and serve as a solution for gathering feedback from calls, texts, emails, chatbot, and other channels.

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is a system that allows callers to interact with a menu using their phone's keypad. Configure IVR menus to route users to the right queue or play voice memos.

IVR Settings

Users can create multiple IVR Menus on the IVR settings page. Within each IVR Menu, you can configure a greeting message or routing instructions to be heard when customers call in.
