Call Flows

Zild Voice supports flexible call flow models. Call behavior is defined by:
  • Agent instructions
  • Escalation rules
  • Workflow triggers

Common Call Flow Models

AI-First Model

  • AI answers call
  • Attempts resolution
  • Escalates if necessary
Ideal for support automation.

IVR + AI Hybrid

  • IVR collects initial input
  • AI handles dynamic conversation
  • Transfer if needed
Useful for structured intake processes.

Fully Automated

  • AI completes entire workflow
  • Executes backend operations
  • Ends call automatically
Best for high-volume repetitive calls.

Escalation Logic

Escalation can occur when:
  • User requests human agent
  • Low confidence detection
  • Sensitive topic detected
  • Multiple misunderstandings occur
Transfer destinations:
  • Internal extension
  • Group queue
  • External number

Silence & Recovery

Voice agents can handle:
  • Silence timeout
  • Unclear speech
  • Interruptions
  • Background noise
Recommended configuration:
  • Short responses
  • Clear confirmations
  • Structured information capture

Best Practices

  • Keep responses concise
  • Confirm critical information
  • Avoid long monologues
  • Test with real-world callers
  • Monitor escalation rate
