Phone Tree & Screener Detection

Get through phone trees and call screeners automatically

Business lines answer with menus and phones answer with screeners. Dialer listens first, navigates the tree or answers the screener, and only connects your rep when there's a person to talk to.

FAQ

Phone Tree & Screener Detection questions

What is call screening?

Newer phones can answer unknown callers with an assistant that asks who's calling. Dialer recognizes that and answers it so the contact sees who you are.
