Voice And Language

SettingDetail
VoiceSelect from the voice library. Each voice has a distinct tone and style.
LanguageSet the primary language. Multi-language agents detect and switch languages automatically during the call.
Background noiseOptional ambient noise preset: none, office, bar, or city-street. Adds realism to the call.

Instructions

Define what the agent does during a call. Two approaches:
Write natural-language instructions in the text field. The agent follows them as guidelines throughout the call.

First Message

What the agent says when it picks up the call. Set this to a greeting that matches your brand (e.g. “Thanks for calling Acme. How can I help you today?”). Defaults to “Hello?” if left blank.

Knowledge Sources

Link published knowledge documents to the agent. The AI references them during calls.
  • Select individual items or entire directories from your knowledge base.
  • Only published (non-draft) items are used.
  • Selecting a directory includes all current and future published items within it.
Knowledge sources are managed under the Knowledge Sources section of the agent settings page.

Actions And Workflows

Select which active AI-trigger workflows the agent can use during calls. The AI decides when to trigger them based on the conversation context.
  • A null selection means all actions are available.
  • An empty selection means no actions.

Transfer Destinations

are defined at the org level and then assigned to individual agents. Phone numbers use format.
TypeTarget
PhoneTransfer to an external phone number (E.164 format)
SIPTransfer to a SIP URI with optional digest authentication
HangupEnd the call (useful as a workflow hook)
Manage destinations under the Transfer Destinations section of the agent settings, or at the org level under Channels → Phone.

Telephony And Routing

Assign one or more verified phone numbers to the agent. Each number can only be assigned to one agent. For BYOC numbers, configure SIP trunks under Settings → SIP and assign them here.
Set the caller number for outbound calls. Choose a hosted number or configure a custom SIP trunk. See Outbound Calls.
Each agent has a unique Agent ID shown on the settings page. Use it with the SIP header for dynamic routing from your own infrastructure. See SIP Integration.

Inbound Calls

Call routing, session matching, and call behavior.

Outbound Calls

Make calls from the dashboard, API, or workflows.
