Start

Entry point of every flow. Defines the greeting and the greeting mode:
  • agent speaks first — the greeting is spoken as soon as the call connects (typical inbound).
  • user speaks first — the assistant waits for the caller (typical outbound: the callee says “Hello?” first).

Agent

A conversational agent with its own name, instructions, and optional voice override. The conversation stays with this agent until it hands off along one of its outgoing edges.
  • Each outgoing edge becomes a handoff tool; the edge label is the tool description the LLM uses to decide. See why labels matter.
  • Empty instructions use the assistant’s system prompt (Advanced prompt) as the base; node text is appended, not replaced.
  • Voice override lets different agents speak with different voices.

Condition

A forced decision point. You write a description of what is being decided; the LLM must choose exactly one outgoing edge based on the edge labels. Use it when routing must happen now, rather than whenever the agent feels like handing off.

Tool

Runs a centrally managed API or built-in tool mid-conversation and feeds the result back to the LLM. The node stores only the selected Tool Library reference plus flow-local bindings and transitions. Endpoint, credentials, description, and reusable behavior are edited under Tools.
For long-running webhooks (CRM writes, availability checks), set async and add two or three filler phrases. The caller keeps a fluent conversation while the request completes in the background.

Transfer (blind)

Immediately transfers the call to a phone number or SIP URI (SIP REFER), optionally after a short announcement. The assistant leaves the call; there is no briefing of the receiving person.

Warm transfer

The premium handover: the caller is put on hold music, the assistant dials the target (an employee), briefs them with an AI-generated summary of the conversation so far, and only then connects both parties. The employee can accept or decline; voicemail at the target is detected. Warm transfer outcomes (started / completed / failed) are recorded as call events.

Collect

Structured data capture with built-in validation, re-asking, and confirmation — far more reliable than hoping the LLM transcribes an email address correctly.
  • Types: name, email, phone, address, date of birth, dtmf (digits via keypad), credit_card (payment card).
  • Variable (required): the result is stored under this name and included in the call.completed webhook.
  • Prompt: optional extra instructions on top of the built-in dialogue.
  • Max attempts (default 3): after final failure, the flow takes the edge labeled failed if present.
  • DTMF digits: for type dtmf, how many digits to collect.
  • Payment card (credit_card): requires a Collect payment card built-in tool assigned to the assistant (plan-gated), with a connected Stripe account selected. During the call the agent collects card details securely; the platform creates a Stripe Payment Method on that account. Only card_last4 / card_brand / stripe_payment_method_id are stored — never PAN/CVV. Connect Stripe under Tools → App Store first. Use the Payment Method ID later to charge via Stripe.

DTMF

Prompts the caller to enter a fixed number of digits on the phone keypad (30 s timeout). Use collect with type dtmf when you want validation and retries; use this simpler node for quick menu choices.

End

Terminates the call, optionally speaking a farewell first. Always give your flows explicit endings — it produces clean call statuses and prevents the conversation from drifting after its job is done.

Central Tool Library

Add node opens a searchable Tool Library. New nodes store a stable user_tool_id; reusable configuration is never copied into the flow: Use Edit in Tools to change reusable settings. The change applies to every assistant and flow that references the tool, including active calls at the next safe invocation boundary.
Tool, transfer, warm-transfer, DTMF, and collect-keypad nodes always select a central tool from the Tools page. The editor does not create or edit inline tool configurations. An unresolved, inactive, or incompatible reference follows the node’s safe failure path and records flow_tool_ref_unresolved.
