  ## IVR Support for Inbound Calls

  Bolna now supports IVR (Interactive Voice Response) for Plivo inbound calls. Route callers to different Voice AI agents based on their menu selections.

  **Key features:**

  * **Menu steps** - Present options and route based on digit pressed
  * **Collect steps** - Gather multi-digit input (account numbers, PINs)
  * **Multi-agent routing** - Different agent per menu option
  * **Conditional branching** - Build complex flows with language selection
  * **Context passing** - All collected data sent to agent as context

  Configure IVR via the `/inbound/setup` API by adding `ivr_config` to your request. Learn more in the [IVR documentation](/ivr-inbound-calls).

  ```json theme={"system"}
  {
    "ivr_config": {
      "enabled": true,
      "voice": "Polly.Aditi",
      "welcome_message": "Welcome to Acme Corp.",
      "steps": [
        {
          "step_id": "department",
          "type": "menu",
          "prompt": "Press 1 for Sales. Press 2 for Support.",
          "field_name": "department",
          "options": [
            {"digit": "1", "label": "Sales", "agent_id": "sales-agent-id"},
            {"digit": "2", "label": "Support", "agent_id": "support-agent-id"}
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  }
  ```
</Update>

<Update label="6th Jan, 2026">
  ## Multilingual Message Auto Switching

  Bolna now automatically detects the language your users speak and adapts system messages accordingly. Bolna agents analyze conversation patterns and intelligently switche messages to match the detected language.

  Bolna agents are now able to identify the dominant language while handling real-world conversational scenarios where users mix languages. This ensures messages are delivered in the language users actually prefer for substantive communication.

  **Currently supported message types:**

  * **User online check message** - The "are you still there?" prompt when checking if users are on the call
  * **Call hangup message** - Closing messages when the agent ends a call
  * **Pre-function call message** - Brief wait messages while executing custom tools or API calls

  Configure multilingual variants using language codes (e.g., `en`, `hi`, `ta`, etc) and Bolna handles the rest. Learn more in the [language detection documentation](/customizations/auto-switch-multilingual-messages).
