Add a Vonage Voice account

Updated 

Prior to calls being routed onto Sprinklr, voice accounts need to be added and configured accordingly. These accounts will be used to identify the voice calls from the telephony infrastructure to Sprinklr servers, following which a configured IVR, voice bot, or agent handles the call.

Within Sprinklr, you can add a Vonage Voice account that will act as an interface, and inbound and outbound calls can be made using the voice application. It facilitates automated features like AI bots, payment options, IVR, post-call surveys, transcripts, and more.

By integrating a Vonage Voice account with Sprinklr AI-powered contact center as a service (CCaaS) application — all layered on top of the world’s only unified customer experience management (Unified-CXM) platform — we can help enterprises quickly scale and launch a next-gen contact center that delivers comprehensive, cloud-based care.
