IVR & Smart Inbound Routing

Never Miss a Lead Again.
IVR + Smart Routing, Built In.

Every missed call is a deal handed to your competitor. Clozo greets every caller, plays your press-1 menu, respects your business hours, and routes each call to the exact right rep — whoever last spoke to that lead, then the lead owner, then round-robin. Screen-pop shows you who's calling — name, deal stage, and full history — before you say hello. Voicemail, recording, and AI summaries on every call, logged straight into the same platform that runs your CRM, pipeline, email, and social. The whole inbound stack works on every plan, including our permanent free one.

Every Call, To the Right Rep

Clozo doesn't just ring a random line. It follows an intelligent ladder so a returning caller reaches the person who already knows their deal — and a new caller still gets answered fast.

  • Your IVR menu — press-1 options send the caller to the right team or number first
  • Last rep on the deal — the caller reaches the person they already know
  • Lead owner — falls through to whoever owns the account
  • Round-robin — spreads new callers evenly across the team

Screen-Pop & Capture

Know Who's Calling Before You Answer

The moment a call comes in, the caller's full story appears on screen — who they are, their deal stage, recent activity, and notes. Because Clozo runs your whole sales and marketing stack in one place, screen-pop pulls that context straight from the CRM, calls, email, and social. Your rep picks up already warm — and nothing gets lost: every call and voicemail is captured.

  • Screen-pop surfaces the caller's identity, deal, and full cross-channel history from your Unified Engagement timeline
  • Voicemail captured and transcribed, with an instant in-app notification so you can call straight back
  • Every call recorded, transcribed, and AI-summarized by Conversation Intelligence — objections raised and handled, competitor mentions, topics, intent, and a suggested stage
  • Ask Unified AI anything about a caller in plain English — it reads across every conversation you've had

Who's Calling — Matched & Routed With Context

How Routing Decides

The Smart Routing Ladder

When an inbound call arrives, Clozo tries each rung in order until someone picks up — so no lead ever hits a dead end.

1

Your IVR menu

Press-1 options send the caller to the right team or number before the ladder even starts — Sales here, Support there.

2

Last rep on the deal

The caller is instantly connected to the rep who last worked their deal — the person who already knows the story.

3

The lead owner

No answer? The call falls through to whoever owns the account, so it stays with someone accountable.

4

Round-robin across the team

A brand-new caller or an unowned lead is spread evenly across available reps — fair, fast, and never dropped.

✓

After hours or all busy → voicemail

Outside business hours or when everyone's on a call, the caller hears your custom message and drops to voicemail — captured and transcribed, with an instant in-app notification so you can call straight back.

Everything On Inbound
complete inbound calling toolkit

Every Inbound Call, Fully Handled

Six capabilities that turn your phone number into a lead-capture machine — included on every plan, including our permanent free one.

Visual IVR Builder

Greet callers and build press-1 menus with no code. "Press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support" routes to the right team in seconds.

Business Hours

Define open-hours and after-hours behavior. Calls route to reps when you're open and to voicemail with a custom message when you're not.

Smart Routing

An intelligent ladder — whoever last spoke to that lead, then the lead owner, then round-robin — connects every caller to the right person fast.

Screen-Pop

The caller's identity, deal stage, and history appear before you answer, so every conversation starts warm instead of cold.

Voicemail

Missed a call? Voicemail is captured and transcribed, with an instant in-app notification — so a missed call is never a lost lead.

Recording + AI Summaries

Every inbound call is recorded, transcribed, and AI-summarized with objections raised and handled, competitor mentions, topics, intent, and clear next steps. It becomes a searchable record in Conversation Intelligence — kept until you delete it.

frequently asked questions about IVR and call routing

IVR & Routing FAQ

Everything you need to know about menus, routing, screen-pop, and voicemail.

IVR stands for Interactive Voice Response — the automated menu that greets callers and lets them press a number to reach the right place. Yes, Clozo includes a visual IVR builder on every plan, including the permanent free one. You drag in a greeting and press-1 menu options, set business hours, and callers are guided to the right team automatically. No code and no separate phone company required.
Clozo follows a routing ladder and tries each rung until someone answers: first the last rep who worked the deal, then the lead's owner, then round-robin across the team. A returning caller reaches the person who already knows their deal, and a brand-new caller still gets picked up fast instead of hitting a dead end.
Screen-pop shows the caller's full context — who they are, their deal stage, recent activity, and notes — on your screen before you even say hello. Your rep answers already knowing the story, so the conversation starts warm instead of cold.
Yes. Business hours routing lets you define exactly what happens when you're open versus closed. During open hours, calls route to your reps through the smart ladder.
