# What is the maximum number of times a MyOperator menu can repeat, how do I change it, and how do I set the callback time?

| Tip
Quick answer — Menu Repeat controls how many extra times (1–10) an IVR prompt is replayed when the caller presses no key. Total plays = 1 initial play + your repeat count.

After the final repeat, the call follows the menu’s fallback action (voicemail, operator, or disconnect).

## When should I use this guide?

Use it when callers miss your IVR options, and you need to adjust how many chances they get before the system moves on.

## 1 — How Menu Repeat works

* Menu Repeat = number of replays on no input.
* Total plays = 1 (first play) + repeats.
* Example: Repeat = 3 → prompt can play 4 times in total.
* After the final repeat, the fallback action executes.
* Invalid keys follow a separate “invalid-input” rule.

## 2 — Limits & behaviour

| Setting | Value | Notes |
| ---- |
| Range | 1–10 | Replays only; first play is implicit |
| Fallback trigger | After the last replay | Goes to voicemail/operator/disconnect |
| Invalid-input rule | Separate | Doesn’t count toward repeats |

---

## 3 — Prerequisites

* Editor or Admin role.
* Know which Menu node you are editing.
* Fallback action for that menu is already defined.

---

## 4 — Change the repeat value

1. Sign in to MyOperator Dashboard.
2. Go to Design Call Flow.
3. Open the menu node → Advanced Settings.
4. Click Callflow Settings (Advanced) → Edit.
5. Set Menu Repeat to 1–10.
6. Click Save, then Publish/Deploy if prompted.

## 5 — Verify with a test call

1. Dial the IVR.
2. On the menu, press no key.
3. Count replays; they should match your new setting.
4. Check Reports → Call Logs for “no-input/timeout” entries and confirm the fallback executed.

---

## 6 — Edge cases & best practices

* Pair repeats with a sensible no-input timeout to avoid long silences.
* Callers can interrupt repeats—DTMF input routes immediately.
* More than 3–4 repeats may frustrate callers; test and adjust.
* Multi-language IVRs: set repeats per language menu.
* Nested menus may double the audible repeats if each has its own setting.

## 7 — Troubleshooting

| Issue | Likely cause | Fix |
| ---- |
| Replays never happen | Edited the wrong menu node | Edit correct node & publish |
| Too many plays | Nested menu also repeats | Reduce repeats or merge menus |
| Immediate fallback | No-input timeout too short | Increase the timeout value |
| Invalid-key loop | Invalid-input action misconfigured | Review invalid-input rule |

## 8 — Callback time: definition, limits, and how to set it

### What is callback time?

Callback time refers to the specific time or timeframe when a callback or return call is scheduled to take place. It is the time at which the system will automatically initiate the callback to the desired recipient.

* Minimum: 15 minutes
* Maximum: 48 hours

### How to set the callback time

1. Log in to your MyOperator panel.
2. Go to the Manage section.
3. Select Design callflow.
4. Click Advance setting.
5. In Call settings, set the desired callback time or timeframe (Minimum = 15 minutes, Maximum = 48 hours).
6. Save the changes.
