The Call Status Trigger is a workflow trigger that runs on both outbound and inbound calls. This trigger can be activated by call directions and statuses either from the current workflow or from another workflow linked to it. By using this trigger, businesses can customize their workflows to automate specific actions based on call statuses, improving efficiency and streamlining their communication process.
Adding the Call Status Trigger
To get started, click on Add New Trigger and select Call Status. This will allow you to define call-based conditions for your automation.
Adding Filters
You can filter your trigger by clicking “Add Filter” and selecting Call Direction, Call Status, or In Workflow.
Call Direction
The Call Direction filter enables users to select the direction of the call, either as an incoming or outgoing call.
- Incoming Call: Selecting the "Incoming" call, the workflow is triggered when a contact (new leads or old contacts) calls the number associated with this account.
- Outgoing Call: Selecting the "Outgoing" call can allow you to track all the different call records of your sales team.
Call Status
The system automatically tracks the status of every call made and triggers them based on the status of the call. This filter gives you the ability to fire the automation when the call status triggers in another workflow. You can choose the workflow from the dropdown menu.
- Busy: The contact's number was engaged during the call.
- Canceled: The call was canceled before being answered.
- Completed: The call was successfully connected, and you spoke with the contact.
- Not Answered: The call went unanswered by the contact.
- Voicemail: The call was directed to the contact’s voicemail.
In Workflow
The In Workflow filter allows you to activate automation when the call status is linked to another workflow. Simply choose the desired workflow from the dropdown menu to connect the processes.
