Professional Auto Attendant for Your Business
When customers call, they expect a professional greeting and a quick path to the right person — not a busy signal or a receptionist juggling three lines. Dial Raven's auto attendant answers every call automatically, greets callers in your business name, and routes them to the right department, extension, or voicemail based on a simple menu — no live operator required. With multi-level IVR menus, time-based routing, and custom greetings, it handles many callers at once, works around the clock, and makes even a small team sound like a large, organized company.
Your Phone System Is Your First Impression
Callers expect to reach the right department fast. Without automated routing, calls get missed during busy times, staff waste time manually transferring callers, and customers get bounced around — or hang up. The fix isn't hiring more people; it's a well-designed auto attendant that routes every caller correctly, every time.

Staff wasting time manually transferring every caller

No structure for routing calls after hours or on holidays
A small team sounding smaller than the competition

Auto Attendant — common questions
Quick answers about features, pricing, and setup.
What is an auto attendant?
An auto attendant is a phone-system feature that automatically answers calls, greets callers with a recorded menu, and routes them to the right department, extension, or voicemail based on their selection — no live operator needed. It acts as an automated front desk, so every caller gets a professional, consistent experience.
What's the difference between an auto attendant and IVR?
An auto attendant is the greeting-and-menu layer that routes callers based on keypad selections ('Press 1 for Sales'). IVR is a more advanced version that can also accept voice input and route based on data, like an account number. Dial Raven supports both, so you can start with a simple menu and add IVR capabilities as you grow.
What is a multi-level auto attendant?
A multi-level auto attendant uses layered menus — menus within menus — so callers can navigate by department, location, language, or issue type. For example, 'Press 1 for Sales,' then 'Press 1 for New Orders.' It's ideal for businesses with multiple teams or locations on one number.
Can it route calls differently after hours or on holidays?
Yes. Time-based routing lets you set different greetings and call flows for business hours, after hours, weekends, and holidays, plus temporary flows for busy seasons — so callers always reach the right destination no matter when they call.
Can callers still reach a real person?
Yes, and we recommend it. A well-designed menu always includes an option to reach a live agent or leave a message, so callers who prefer a person — or press the wrong key — aren't stuck. Keeping menus short and offering an operator option reduces abandoned calls.
How do I set it up and make changes?
You can record or upload greetings, or generate them with text-to-speech, and build your menus in a simple call-flow editor. Everything is editable anytime from any device, and our US-based team helps you configure it during onboarding — most businesses are live in under 24 hours.
