At a high level, DTMF response values control whether the Play Prompt validates the
caller’s DTMF input or simply captures it. The Play Prompt compares the caller’s input with the
configured Response Value to decide whether to proceed or retry.
Here are some examples of the workflow for different types of input.
Single-Digit Menu
An example of this scenario is , “Press 1 for
Billing, Press 2 for Sales”.
Set the DTMF response values to the supported digits (, 1 and 2).
If the caller enters a configured value, the continues.
If the caller enters another value, the prompt repeats until a valid input is entered or
the retry limit is reached.
the Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency output to branch the .
Multi-Digit Value
An example of this scenario is when the caller
provides a ten-digit account number.
Pass a variable containing the expected value to the DTMF response value.
The caller’s input is compared against the expected value and if there’s a match the
proceeds
If no match is found, turn on Require Response Retry to replay
the prompt until the caller enters a valid input or reaches the retry limit.
The valid input value is accessible via the Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency output.
Collect Input without Validation
Pass a flow variable with a null or empty value into DTMF Response Value. No comparison is
performed, and the system accepts any DTMF input value and passes the value forward via the
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency output.
