Step 1 — Identity
Who the bot is and why it is on the phone.Call Type matters a lot. An inbound bot waits with a reception-style greeting and asks
the caller’s name. An outbound bot speaks first, says why it is calling, and never asks
“How can I help you?” — because it made the call.
Step 2 — Voice & tone
- Voice Model Persona — pick how the bot sounds. Each option shows whether it is a male or female voice and what it suits.
- Spoken Language — grouped into Indian languages and accents, and international languages. See Voices and languages.
- Tone Profile — the mood of the conversation, e.g. warm, professional, energetic.
Step 3 — Behaviour and script
This is where the bot learns your business.Welcome Greeting Sentence

Step 4 — Closing and actions
- Closing Message — the last thing the bot says, e.g. “Thank you for your time, have a great day!”
- Custom Hangup Logic and Hangup Condition — turn this on to let the bot end the call itself, and describe when: “End the call once the visit is booked”.
- Success Criteria — what counts as a good call, used in the call summaries.
- Post Call Action — what should happen afterwards, e.g. “Mark the lead as interested”.
Personalise with the caller’s name
Anywhere in your script you can write{{customer_name}} and the bot will say the person’s
actual name instead. If you upload extra columns with your contacts — say company or
amount_due — you can use {{company}} and {{amount_due}} the same way. See
Campaigns.
