Call handling actions define what the AI does when certain conditions are met during a call. You can enable multiple actions simultaneously.

Available Actions

Email Notifications

Toggle email notifications on to receive a summary after every call. Notifications are sent to your account’s email address.

Follow-up Text (SMS)

The AI offers to send the caller a follow-up text during the call. Choose one of five pre-approved message templates — the same templates available in AI Calling campaigns:
TemplateWhat it sendsWhere the content comes from
Meeting RequestA link to book a meetingYour meeting link
Next Step LinkA link for the next stepYour meeting link
Appointment ConfirmationThe appointment’s day, time, and detailsExtracted from the conversation by AI
Conversation SummaryA short recap of the callGenerated from the conversation by AI
Offer / Promo CodeYour offer description, promo code, and linkYour offer details and link
Each template also exposes the same fields as AI Calling:
FieldApplies toNotes
Sender NameAll templatesPer-receptionist override for the name in the text. Leave blank to use your default sender name.
Meeting / Next Step / Offer LinkMeeting Request, Next Step Link, Offer / Promo CodePer-receptionist override for the link. Leave blank to use your default link. Use Edit default link to change the shared default.
Offer Description + Promo CodeOffer / Promo CodeBoth are required before the template can be enabled.
A few things to know:
  • Consent is required. The text is only sent after the caller verbally agrees to receive one during the call — the AI asks first, and our system confirms consent from the transcript before sending.
  • A transcript is required. Voicemails and failed calls never trigger a text.
  • AI-populated templates (Appointment Confirmation, Conversation Summary) fill in their details automatically after the call ends. If the details can’t be determined, the text is skipped rather than sent incomplete.
  • Sender name and link are per-receptionist overrides. They fall back to your shared defaults when left blank, and setting one here does not change the shared default your AI Calling campaigns use. Use Edit default link to change the shared default explicitly.
  • Template text is pre-approved for SMS delivery and can’t be edited — only the highlighted fields (sender name, link, offer details) are filled in.
  • Changes to the section (template, sender name, link, offer details) are saved together with a single Save button, and Discard reverts any unsaved edits.
The AI will naturally work the offer into the conversation, e.g. “Can I text you a link to book a time?” or “Would you like a text summary of what we discussed?”

Call Forwarding

Transfer callers to a human when the conversation warrants it. Call forwarding is a cold transfer by default — the AI connects the caller directly to the target number. Enable Warm Transfer to have the AI briefly introduce the caller before handing off.

Keypad Navigation

If your inbound number routes through a phone tree before reaching the receptionist, configure keypad navigation to handle menu prompts automatically. See Keypad Navigation for details.
