Unlocking the Power of Voice AI with Custom Actions
Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I’m excited to share some amazing updates about Voice AI and its new feature: custom actions. This is a game-changer for how your AI agents can interact with external systems during conversations, thanks to webhook integrations.
What Are Custom Actions?
Custom actions allow your AI agent to reach out and perform tasks using external webhooks or URLs. Imagine being in the middle of a conversation with an AI agent and needing it to do something that requires information from an outside source. With custom actions, that’s now possible!
Creating Your First Custom Action
Let’s break down how to create a custom action. For example, consider a scenario where you want to send a user a quote based on their preferences. Here’s how you can set it up:
- Create a custom action called Send User Quote.
- Define what the AI should say before executing the action, like, “Sure, I understand.”
- Specify the endpoint that the AI should hit to send the user quote.
- Include authentication and API keys if necessary for this external URL.
- Determine which parameters you want to pass to the webhook. For instance, you might want to include the price of the house.
Once you’ve set these up, you can test your action to ensure it works seamlessly.
How Custom Actions Enhance Conversations
The beauty of custom actions lies in their flexibility. They are not just random actions executed at any point; they are triggered based on specific conditions in the conversation. For example:
- If a user has a great credit score and confirms they have a down payment, the AI can instantly take action to alert a salesperson or send them relevant information.
- If a user asks for a one-page PDF about services, the AI can automatically send that document after receiving confirmation.
This level of interaction not only enhances user experience but also streamlines operations for businesses.
Turning on Custom Actions in Labs
To start using custom actions, you need to enable them in the labs section of your settings. Navigate to:
- Settings
- Labs
- Voice AI Custom Action
Once enabled, you’ll have the power to integrate these actions into your Voice AI workflows.
