Nomatch and Noinput Elements

Use

The noinput and nomatch elements provide means to handle situations when there is no appropriate answer from the customer. Typical example is to have them in menu element where noinput defines what happens when the user gives no choice, and nomatch defines what happens when the user chooses an option that is none of the choices defined for the menu.

Both elements can work simply as containers for their child elements that are always carried out in no-input and no-match situations, or they can have conditions and counts that make the performance conditional.

noinput

The noinput element has child elements assign, audio, clear, exit, goto, if, and it can be nested in the field, form, menu, transfer, record, vxml element.
