Action

An action is an activity an IVR system carries out based on the IVR application. In IVR Studio, there are four types of actions:

Create an Action

Actions can be created from the action properties of an element. Right click on any element, select Properties from the popup menu, select the action tab, then click the New button. From the Choose Action Type dialog window, select the proper action type.

Actions can also be created when an element is created.

Action Execution

When an element becomes active, all actions are executed first before prompts are played.

The order of execution is the same as the order of actions in the element properties definition. The order is important since only later actions can access action return variables of its previous actions. For example, if an action fetches a caller's bank account balance from a database, the next action can then check whether there is sufficient funds in the account.
