Workflows can now assign users based on the IVR responder using custom variables. This allows automation to dynamically route contacts or tasks to the correct user who handled the call through IVR, improving response time and ownership tracking.
• Assign user action can now be assigned to the IVR responder
• Support for custom variables in user assignment
• More dynamic routing based on call interactions
• Improved ownership tracking after calls
• Better automation for call-based workflows
• Use IVR responder assignment to maintain call ownership
• Combine custom variables with routing logic for accuracy
• Test workflows to confirm correct user assignment
• Keep IVR routing organized for consistent results
• Review assignment behavior after major workflow updates
Step 1
