Setting up Post call actions

Last updated: March 29, 2025

Let's go through how to setup post call actions for your workflow

In today’s fast-paced business environment, automating post-call processes can significantly improve efficiency and customer engagement. Post Call Actions in Phonely streamline follow-ups by automatically executing tasks after a call ends. These actions can include AI-generated summaries, call transcripts, call URLs, and integrations with third-party tools, ensuring that critical information is captured and shared instantly.

By leveraging Post Call Actions, businesses can enhance customer interactions, reduce manual work, and optimize workflows, leading to improved productivity and better decision-making. Whether it’s sending a follow-up email, logging data in a CRM, or triggering next steps based on conversation insights, Phonely’s automation capabilities help teams stay organized and proactive.

Step 1: Understanding Post Call Actions

Before setting up actions, it’s important to know what they do:
Post Call Actions automate tasks after a Phonely call ends.
Examples include sending AI-generated summaries, transcripts, call URLs, or integrating with third-party tools.

Step 2: Accessing Post Call Actions in the Workflow

  1. Open the Workflow Editor in Phonely.

  2. Locate the side node where post-call actions are available.

  3. Hover over the side node to reveal the available options.

  4. Click the “+” (plus) button to add an action.

Step 3: Choosing an Integration Option

Once you add an action, a menu appears with integration options. You can select:
Email Sending – Automatically send an email with call details.
Text Messaging – Send a summary or follow-up SMS.
Third-Party Integrations – Sync with tools like CRM, Slack, or Zapier.

Select the integration that best fits your workflow.

Step 4: Configuring Trigger Mechanics

Triggers determine when actions will execute. Options include:
Immediate Trigger – Executes right after the call ends.

Conditional Trigger – Executes only if a specific conversation path is followed.
Sequential Triggers – Example: One action at call start, another at appointment booking completion.

Tip: Set multiple triggers to customize how actions unfold.

Step 5: Handling Variables

Phonely stores all conversation data in variables. To configure variables:

  1. Identify key variables, such as:

    • AI success rate

    • Conversation topics

    • Summary data

    • CRM integration data

  2. Set fallback rules: If a variable isn’t available (e.g., user didn’t reach a specific workflow block), define a default response.

  3. Pre-configure variables even if they aren’t always triggered—this ensures accurate tracking.

Step 6: Testing and Monitoring

Run test calls to see if the post-call actions work correctly.
Check variable handling to ensure all expected data is captured.
Monitor workflow performance by tracking completed and incomplete actions.
