The Transcript Generated workflow trigger enables powerful post-call automation by activating workflows the instant a call transcript is ready. This trigger works seamlessly across Voice AI calls, IVR calls, and Normal Calls, allowing you to automate follow-ups, update CRM data, create tasks, and leverage actual conversation intelligence—all without manual intervention.

This trigger supports:
- Voice AI Calls (transcription enabled by default)
