Dial and Try your Name The Automated Operator will transfer you to your campus phone number. Try your Department Sometimes, there may be more than one match for your search. The Automated Operator will ask you to select between the choices available. Wait on the line for assistance If the Automated Operator cannot find a successful match, you will be transferred to the Cal Poly Operator for further assistance between 8am – 5pm M-F. Best Practices Speak naturally and avoid using extra words such as "please" "could I speak to", etc. Remember to speak at your normal volume and at a normal pace. The technology is less effective when speaking at a high level or speaking abnormally slow. Try to avoid using your speakerphone due to background noise. Cell phones are supported but have the same challenges. The automated speech attendant emulates the conversation you might have with an operator, so if the system does not understand what you've asked on the first try, it will ask additional questions, for example, "repeat the last name".
