Excerpt

The IVR Collect Digit String applet collects a string of digits, in an IVR slot, that a caller provides using their telephone key pad. The applet stores this string in the specified digit string IVR Slot. For example, you might ask a user to provide their account number using their key pad. The applet collects this information.

You can optionally collect the data securely, if, for example, you are collecting payment card data.
