## Quick Overview

This inbound flow lets Lindy:

* **Answer** calls on a dedicated number
* **Gather** the caller's name and question in natural conversation
* **Access** pre-loaded context for fast, accurate responses
* **Respond** concisely and close the loop
* **Record** summaries to Sheets and alert your team in Slack

Start from the [inbound support template](https://chat.lindy.ai/home/?templateId=6875ad458aeebd9c66a8b3b5) and customize.

## Setting Up Your Inbound Call Bot

### Step 1: Provision a Number

</Frame>

1. Click the `Call Received` trigger.
2. Purchase or select a unique Lindy Phone number.

### Step 2: Add Context for Support Knowledge

Pre-load your support information to ensure fast response times during calls.

</Frame>

* Action: `Add Context`
* Upload lightweight company context: FAQs, key policies, common troubleshooting steps
* Keep it concise — this context stays in memory during the entire call for optimal latency

<Tip>
  We use Add Context instead of Search Knowledge Base because even though you can perform actions during phone calls, pre-loading lightweight context helps maintain fast response times.
</Tip>

### Step 3: Inbound Phone Call Agent

Configure your AI agent to handle the conversation with pre-loaded context.

</Frame>

AI Agent prompt:

```
You are a professional customer support agent answering inbound calls.

Instructions:
- Greet callers warmly and ask for their name
- Listen to their question and provide helpful answers using the context provided
- Keep responses concise and conversational (1-2 sentences)
- End calls politely when the issue is resolved
- Always maintain a friendly, professional tone

Use the company context provided to answer questions about policies, procedures, and common issues.
```

<Tip>
  Use balanced or fast Claude models for phone calls — they perform well for real-time conversations.
</Tip>

### Step 4: Document the Call

Track all phone interactions for quality assurance and follow-up.

</Frame>

* `Get Task URL` → store reference link.
* `Google Sheets – Append Row` with name, question, answer, outcome, URL.

### Step 5: Team Alert

Notify your team about the call for immediate follow-up if needed.

</Frame>

Send a Slack message summarizing the call with the task URL.
