Play Node

Description

The Play Node is one of the most basic yet essential components of any IVR system. It is used to play a static voice prompt to the caller — often for informational messages, updates, or acknowledgements, without expecting any input in return.

Purpose

Use the Play Node when:

  • You want to inform the caller of something (e.g., "Your request has been received.")

  • You need to play a static message at any point in the flow

  • No user interaction (e.g., digit press) is required


Configuration Options

Field

Description

Name

A label for the node to improve readability

Prompt

The full file path to the audio prompt that will be played (e.g., /prompts/thank_you.wav)


Flow Behavior

  • The audio file is played once when the node is reached during call flow.

  • After playback, the call continues to the next node automatically.

  • No user input or branching is involved with this node.


Example Configuration

You want to play a Good Bye prompt at the end of your IVR.

Best Practices

  • Keep audio files optimized and properly recorded for clarity.

  • Use it right after API calls, error handling, or as a response confirmation.

  • Ensure prompt files are accessible from the the server.
