Question 1

How does the Voice AI fetch caller history from our CRM before answering a call?

Accepted Answer

When an inbound call rings, our telephony gateway performs an instantaneous sub-200ms API lookup using Automatic Number Identification (ANI). It queries your CRM database (Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, or custom REST endpoint) to retrieve contact records, active deals, past notes, and preference tags. This context is injected directly into the LLM system prompt prior to the voice agent initiating greeting audio.

Question 2

Which CRM platforms are supported out of the box?

Accepted Answer

We offer native, pre-built OAuth 2.0 connectors for Salesforce (Sales & Service Cloud), HubSpot CRM, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel (GHL), ActiveCampaign, and Zendesk. For custom databases or proprietary CRMs, we provide flexible REST, GraphQL, and Webhook integration capabilities.

Question 3

Can the Voice AI write data to custom fields and custom objects in Salesforce or HubSpot?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our CRM integration engine supports dynamic schema mapping. Administrators can map speech entity outputs—such as budget brackets, urgency levels, preferred contact methods, and custom diagnostic answers—directly to standard or custom CRM fields and custom objects.

Question 4

What happens if our CRM API experiences temporary downtime or rate limits during a call?

Accepted Answer

The AI Call platform utilizes a resilient, event-driven queueing architecture powered by Kafka and Redis. If your CRM API is temporarily unavailable or rate-limited, call payloads, transcripts, and telemetry are securely buffered in encrypted queues and retried using exponential backoff until successful delivery is verified.

Question 5

How is security handled during OAuth 2.0 authentication and API payload transmission?

Accepted Answer

All CRM API tokens are stored in dedicated Key Management Systems (KMS) with zero-knowledge AES-256 encryption. Payload transmissions occur exclusively over TLS 1.3 encrypted tunnels. Our infrastructure undergoes independent SOC 2 Type II audits annually.

Question 6

Can the Voice AI trigger automated downstream CRM workflows after a call ends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upon call completion, the system can trigger automated native CRM workflows—such as creating deal tasks, reassigning lead ownership, enrolling contacts in email nurture sequences, or dispatching Slack notifications to account executives based on call sentiment and outcome.

Question 7

How does the system handle duplicate contact records in our CRM?

Accepted Answer

Our integration engine implements configurable deduplication logic. Matches are performed sequentially by phone number (E.164 format), email address, or unique customer ID. If no match is found, a new contact record is created according to your business rules.

Question 8

Does the CRM integration include complete call recording and transcript logging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every call pushes a full turn-by-turn transcript, an AI-generated concise executive summary, acoustic sentiment metrics, and a secure dual-track audio recording URL directly into the timeline activity stream of the corresponding CRM record.
