Types of Voice Agents

Inbound Call Handling

Uses the “Call Received” trigger to answer incoming calls automatically. Best for:
  • Customer support automation
  • Booking and scheduling
  • Lead qualification
  • After-hours answering
Available actions:
  • End call
  • Transfer call
  • Press numbers (phone tree navigation)

Outbound Call Campaigns

Uses the “Make Phone Call” action to initiate calls. Best for:
  • Sales outreach
  • Appointment reminders
  • Survey collection
  • Follow-up campaigns
We recommend using Gemini Flash for simple phone actions or simple phone calls, and Claude Sonnet for more advanced phone behavior. These recommendations may change as new models emerge.
