Design Call Flows Visually with PBX Studio's Drag-and-Drop Builder
Managing call routing across scattered menus makes it hard to see the full picture. PBX Studio's call flow builder gives admins a drag-and-drop visual canvas to design, connect, and publish complete call flows in one place, from phone numbers to queues, ring groups, auto attendants, business hours, and announcements.
New admins get up to speed faster, and misconfigurations are easy to spot visually before they cause issues.
What Is PBX Studio Call Flow Builder?
PBX Studio is PBX.IM's visual call flow builder for administrators, supervisors, and call routing managers. Instead of jumping between separate menus, admins get a single drag-and-drop canvas to add, connect, and publish complete call flows in one place.
Phone numbers, extensions, ring groups, queues, auto attendants, call forwarding, announcements, and business hours conditions are all supported.
Each node opens an inline configuration panel with real-time visual connections showing exactly where a call goes at every step, making setup faster, onboarding easier, and misconfigurations easier to catch before they go live.
How Does Call Flow Builder Work?
PBX Studio gives admins a node-based visual canvas to design and publish complete inbound call flows without navigating multiple menus. Every routing component can be added, configured, and connected in one place.
Visual Canvas
PBX Studio opens a drag-and-drop call flow designer where every call routing component appears as a connected node. Admins can zoom, pan, undo, redo, and select multiple nodes at once, keeping even complex call flows easy to navigate and edit.
Node Configuration
Each node represents a routing object, including phone numbers, extensions, ring groups, queues, auto attendants, call forwarding, announcements, and business hours conditions. Clicking any node opens an inline configuration panel, so admins can create or edit objects directly on the canvas without leaving the flow.
Real-Time Visual Connections
As nodes are linked, PBX Studio renders live visual connections showing the exact path a call takes at every step. Call flow editor makes easy to audit routing logic, catch misconfigurations before they go live, and onboard new admins without a steep learning curve.

PBX Studio displays every routing component and connection on a single canvas, giving admins a complete picture of how calls move through the system. No more switching between menus to piece together where a call ends up.
Drag, Drop, and Connect in Seconds
Building a call flow in PBX Studio feels like working in a modern design tool, not a legacy enterprise dashboard. Drag nodes onto the canvas, connect them in the order calls will follow, and publish without touching a single form or nested menu.
All Routing Components in One Canvas
Phone numbers, extensions, ring groups, queues, auto attendants, call forwarding, announcements, and business hours conditions are all available as nodes inside PBX Studio. Every component your call flow needs lives in one place, ready to configure inline without leaving the canvas.
Stop jumping between menus. PBX Studio gives your team a drag-and-drop call flow tool to design and manage inbound call routing in one place.
The IVR Call Flow Design Tool Built for Speed
Phone Number
Assign inbound numbers as entry points to any call flow. Every number appears as a node on the canvas, so you can see exactly where it routes at a glance.
Extension
Route calls to specific users or devices directly from the canvas. Configure ring time, voicemail fallback, and caller ID inline without leaving the flow.
Ring Group
Ring multiple team members simultaneously or in sequence and connect it to any point in your call flow. The first available person picks up, so no call goes unanswered.
Queue
Place callers in a managed waiting line with hold music and position announcements until an agent is free. Connect queues to any step in your flow and configure them inline.
Auto Attendant
Build multi-level IVR menus with branching paths, all visible on the canvas. Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Support, and every option maps out exactly where calls go next.
Business Hours
Set time-based routing conditions so calls reach the right destination during office hours, after hours, and on holidays.
