Stop IVR Greeting from Repeating Three Times

Find out how to prevent your IVR greeting from repeating three times by adjusting settings.

How can I stop my IVR greeting from repeating three times?

To stop your IVR greeting from repeating three times, you need to adjust your IVR settings. By default, the greeting repeats three times if no keypress is detected.

Make sure that the greeting in the Edit route section under IVR > IVR menus > Menu levels > Active Routes is not the same as the one in the menu levels Greeting. This can prevent unnecessary repetition. Additionally, consider using the Active Routes (Greeting) for optional messages like disclaimers. For more guidance, check out the originalZendesk help article.
