AUTHORITATIVE NEVODESK GUIDE Reviewed August 14, 2026

Caller scenarios, menu navigation and fallbacks

Describe how callers ask for help, map each scenario to a department, and set a separate no-answer fallback.

Caller scenarios

A caller scenario is a plain-language description of a need Nevo should recognize, such as asking for a refund, changing an appointment, reporting an emergency, or speaking with Sales. Each scenario has a title, description, destination department, and its own no-answer fallback. Scenarios guide intent recognition; they do not create duplicate departments.

Caller navigation modes

  • Natural conversation: Nevo asks what the caller needs and routes from the answer. This is the recommended default.
  • Conversation with menu fallback: Nevo begins naturally and offers digit or spoken choices when the request remains ambiguous.
  • Traditional menu first: the caller hears configured department choices before conversational handling continues.

Digit fallback

Digit choices are generated only for active, routable departments and scenarios. A simple appointment-only business may not need digit navigation. When enabled, each digit maps to one route, and the flow includes invalid-input, timeout, no-answer, voicemail/callback, and return-to-main-menu behavior.

Safe fallbacks

  • Retry or clarify the caller's request.
  • Offer the configured menu choices.
  • Transfer to an eligible destination.
  • Capture voicemail or a callback request.
  • Return to the main menu.
  • Provide approved emergency guidance without pretending to dispatch emergency services.
Important

A fallback belongs to the relevant scenario or route. One flat fallback should not silently apply to unrelated departments.
