Frequently asked questions.

What is an auto attendant?

An auto attendant (also called a virtual receptionist or IVR) is an automated phone system that answers incoming calls with a professional greeting and routes callers to the right person or department based on keypad input — without a live operator.

What is the difference between IVR and auto attendant?

"Auto attendant" typically refers to simple menu-based routing, while "IVR" (Interactive Voice Response) can include more complex interactions like self-service options. EMAK supports both — from basic menus to multi-level interactive call flows.

How much does a virtual receptionist cost?

EMAK's virtual receptionist is included with every plan — no add-on fees. Compare that to a full-time receptionist at $45,000–$55,000/year, or a third-party answering service at $200–$1,000/month.

Can I set up different greetings for after hours?

Yes. Set separate greetings and routing for business hours, after hours, holidays, and custom time blocks. Switching happens automatically based on your schedule — no manual toggling.

Can my auto attendant greet callers in French and English?

Yes. Use EMAK's AI Voice Studio to generate bilingual greetings in seconds — type your message in both languages, choose natural-sounding voices, and deploy. Supports 45+ languages for businesses that serve multilingual communities.

Can I have multiple levels of menus?

Yes. EMAK supports multi-level IVR menus — departments within departments. For example: "Press 1 for Sales" → "Press 1 for East, 2 for West." Design the entire structure visually with the Call Flow Builder.
