Implementation playbook
The workflow details buyers need before a demo.
Resolve the practical workflow details before routing callers: what the agent says first, which fields it captures, when it stops, where the record goes, and which plan shape usually fits.
Sample call flow
- Decide which shared numbers need AI answering and which stay human-managed.
- Define which shared numbers need AI coverage
- Capture caller intent and next step
- Notify the owner with summary and recommended action
- Confirm the next step, repeat any commitment made to the caller, and write a reviewable summary for the team.
Qualification fields
- Shared number, owner, caller intent, SMS follow-up need, callback owner, CRM link, and unresolved status
- Missed-call trigger, inbox note, and team assignment
- Outcome label, next action, transcript link where allowed, owner, due window, and failed-write status
Human handoff rules
- Send hot leads, complaints, and account-specific callers to a person
- Create clear callback tasks when humans keep the shared inbox workflow
- Transfer or create a callback when the caller asks for a person or the agent is uncertain.
Do not automate
- Do not claim to replace shared-inbox collaboration
- Do not send sensitive summaries to broad team inboxes
- Do not let AI answer numbers that should remain human-only
- Do not continue automation when approved knowledge, consent, destination access, or fallback ownership is missing.
Stack handoff
- OpenPhone-style shared number workflow, CRM note, Slack or Teams owner alert, callback queue, summary handoff
- Structured call summary with intent, urgency, caller details, next action, and review status
Plan fit
- Starter for missed-call capture on one number
- Growth for CRM and owner handoff
- Scale for multiple shared numbers and routing rules
