TABLE OF CONTENTS




Navigate to the AI Agents Section

From anywhere in your sub-account, go to Settings > AI Agents. Once you're in the AI Agents section, you can begin setting up your AI Voice Agents!





Create Your Voice AI Agent

In order to begin the process of creating your AI Voice Agent, click the blue button in the top right corner of your screen that reads + Create Agent.





Configure Voice AI Agent Details

When configuring your Voice AI Agent, you will need to follow a multi-step process including configuring the AI Agent, assigning actions that will happen after the phone call, and connecting the AI Agent to a phone number in your sub-account.


Agent Details Tab

  1. Agent Name: Enter a name for your agent (e.g., “Customer Support Bot”).

  2. Business Name: Confirm or update your business name.

  3. Voice: Choose from a list of available voices for your AI Agent. You can preview each voice by clicking the play button.

  4. Agent Direction: Currently set to “Inbound” by default.

  5. Initial Greeting Message: Customize the first message your agent says (e.g., “Hello, you’ve reached [Business Name]. How can I assist you today?”).




Agent Goals Tab

You have two options for setting up your agent’s goals: Basic Mode or Advanced Mode.


Basic Mode

Basic mode simplifies the Voice AI Agent setup process by giving you 4 options to instruct the Voice AI Agent while in the call. No prompting required!


Select the information you want the agent to collect from callers, such as:

  • Name
  • Email
  • Address
  • Contact's issue




Advanced Mode

When using the advanced mode, you are given more options to control the AI Agent such as prompts and different actions.

  • Prompt: Write detailed instructions and personality traits for your agent.

  • Call Transfer: Transfer the call to a human agent under certain conditions.

  • Trigger a Workflow: Automatically initiate workflows based on call interactions.

  • Update Contact Fields: Specify how information collected should update contact records.

  • Send SMS: Configure the agent to send SMS messages during or after the call.




Trigger Workflows

With Voice AI Agents, you have the option to trigger a single workflow or multiple workflows after the call ends. This keeps workflow triggering simple and allows you to control all workflow entry for Voice AI Agents based on the AI Agent that is involved in the call.




Email Notifications

Send emails to individuals, or multiple people after a call has ended that involved that particular AI Agent.




The following data is included in the email notifications:

  • Call Summary: Overview of the call duration, date, and time.

  • Contact Information: Details collected during the call.

  • Call Transcript: A written record of the conversation.

  • Actions Taken: Any workflows triggered or contact fields updated.




Phone and Availability Tab

When you create a Voice AI Agent you will need to assign that AI Agent to a single phone number or multiple numbers inside your sub-account. This means that when that particular number, or group of numbers, is called, the AI Agent will step in and field the call.




Setting Working Hours

Configure Working Hours: Set specific days and time intervals when the agent should handle calls.





Edit and/or Delete AI Agents

In order to edit or delete any of your Voice AI Agents, you would first need to click on the actions tab for that specific AI Agent and then select either "Edit", or "Delete".



IMPORTANT: Deleting a Voice AI Agent is permanent.

If you want to keep any custom prompt information, and just render the AI Agent in a dormant state, simple remove the phone number from any give AI Agent and they will no longer participate in phone calls.
