Set a Member up with IVR
If one of your group members has requested to receive IVR messages, you can follow the steps below to set them up. The process involves 2 steps:
Part 1
The IVR service requires credits to be purchased, which can be on a Group or Individual basis: you can purchase credits via our online shop here
Once you have some credits, log into the BART Members WebApp
Select ‘Administration’ from the main menu, and select ‘Members’
If you administer more than one group, select the relevant group with the dropdown menu provided
Click on the member you would like to setup with IVR – a popup dialogue box will appear, with the ‘Profile’ tab open by default
Scroll down to the ‘Contact Methods’ section
You’ll see the options:
SMS – mobile only
Voice (IVR) – mobile and landlines
Primary (primary means of contact) – email and mobile
Private (details will only be visible to your administrator) – mobile, email and landline
Tap on the ‘Add +’ button
In the ‘Type’ field, use the dropdown provided to select either ‘mobile’ or ‘landline’
In the ‘Value’ field, enter in your members phone number
Tick the check boxes if the IVR contact method is their ‘Primary’ method of contact or if the number is ‘Private’
When you’re ready, tap on the green save icon at the end of the row
Please note: Regular members are able to complete this first step, however the second step below must also be completed by an Administrator.
Part 2
With your members dialogue box open, click on the ‘Broadcast Tags’ tab
On the relevant Broadcast Tag(s), use the dropdown provided under the ‘Voice’ column
Choose from the options:
None – no voice calls will be received
Non-alerts Only – member will receive messages for all messages that aren’t alerts
Alerts Only – member will receive messages for alert broadcasts only
All – member will receive messages for both alerts and non-alerts
When you’re ready, click on the green ‘Save’ button
