How to Setup an Inbound Phone Survey?
How does it work?
It is easy to setup an inbound phone survey. First, you design a survey app and associate it with an incoming phone number. Voicent system will then automatically answer incoming phone calls and interact with callers using the survey app.
Publish that phone number and have your customers directly call that number to take a survey, or have your agent transfer the call to the phone number the survey app is on.
If you use Voicent's cloud service, please make sure the select the option Inbound Call Center with phone number for your subscription. This option assigns a dedicated phone number to your account. If your call volume is high, make sure to add more inbound voice channels to your subscription also.
Design Your Survey
If your survey does not require interfacing with other systems in real time, such as accessing backend databases, it can be created easily.
The survey app designer can be accessed from the main menu under Setup, Apps, Survey.
