Abstract
Arrangements for pre-authenticating users to interactive voice response (IVR) systems are provided. In some examples, a computing device may receive and store a valid telephone number associated with an enterprise organization IVR system and an enterprise organization application programming interface (API) access key. A request to initiate a communication session with the IVR system may be received and the request may include a telephone number. If the telephone number matches the valid telephone number, an API call to the enterprise organization may be made and a one-time passcode (OTP) may be received. The telephone number may be appended to include the OTP as a suffix and the communication session with the IVR system may be initiated. The IVR system may extract the OTP and validate the OTP. If the OTP is validated, the communication session may be initiated as a pre-authenticated call.
