Transferring Calls Back to IVR in Zendesk Talk

Is it possible to transfer calls back into the IVR in Zendesk Talk?

Currently, transferring calls back into the IVR in Zendesk Talk is not directly supported. If a customer selects the wrong IVR option, you might consider using a workaround, such as transferring the call to a dedicated number that routes back into the IVR.

However, this approach can create a new ticket and be considered a second call, which may not be ideal. It's important to weigh the pros and cons of this method and consider if it aligns with your operational needs.
