# Keep customer work moving between systems.

Product: Automation

Turn an inquiry, call event or schedule into a coordinated sequence of actions. Move the information, route the request and make follow-up part of the process.

Interactive product examples use illustrative data; changes remain on the page.

## Turn the end of a call into the next useful action.

A customer requests a service visit. Use the call event and available result to send the right information into the next stage of the operation.

### Start from the event

Choose the trigger and identify the contact or request it belongs to. Wait for transcript or analysis data when the next decision depends on it.

### Apply the condition

Use branches, waits and data mapping to decide what should happen. Pass the relevant output into the destination’s required fields.

### Coordinate the handoff

Use supported integrations or an authorized HTTP request to update the business system or notify the team. Review the run when an action needs attention.

## Connect the conversation to the work around it.

### Reduce repeated handling

Move known information between steps instead of asking a person to copy it into each system.

### Make the process visible

Keep the trigger, decision and downstream actions in one workflow your team can inspect and maintain.

### Give exceptions a route

Plan the response to a missing field or partial result, then use recorded inputs, outputs and errors to investigate.

## Control the action as carefully as the logic.

Connect the right accounts, preserve customer preferences and make recovery part of the design.

### Authorize the destination

Use the intended account, credentials and permissions for each connection. Available actions depend on the integration and deployment.

### Handle duplicates and retries

Use supported idempotency controls and destination checks. Confirm whether a write completed before retrying a partial or uncertain action.

### Preserve communication preferences

Apply consent, suppression and sending-window requirements to the actual call or message. A workflow trigger alone does not establish permission.

## Product capabilities and architecture

Assistable Automations connects triggers, conditions, data mappings and actions on a visual workflow. It coordinates work across systems before, after and between conversations, while Agent Flows guide the conversation itself.

### Build the process around your agents.

### Visual process design

Combine triggers, branches, waits and data transformations into a sequence your team can follow. Keep the decisions and their downstream actions visible.

### Business and platform actions

Use supported integrations and API requests to connect outside systems. Bring an assistant or knowledge query into the process through available platform actions.

### Reusable data mapping

Pass a prior step’s output into the next action. Make the relationship between the incoming request and the destination fields explicit.

### Testing and run detail

Use manual and supported step-level tests during setup. Review execution inputs, outputs and errors as the workflow moves into operation.

### Conversation intelligence meets explicit execution.

Use the conversation to understand the request and a defined sequence to carry out the surrounding work.

### Published versions for active runs

Runs retain their selected published version, so later edits do not redefine work already in progress.

### Visible dependencies between steps

Pass required outputs between steps and inspect the recorded data when a dependency fails.

### Defined failure handling

Configure supported retry, continuation and failure policies, with an owner for exceptions.

## Operating controls and references

### Control the actions as carefully as the logic.

Keep connections, customer preferences and exception handling inside the design of the process.

### Authorize the intended destination

Use the correct account and permissions for each connection. Available actions and provider-key requirements depend on the integration and deployment.

### Plan for retries and partial results

Use supported idempotency controls for webhook sources and appropriate duplicate handling in receiving systems. Make the path for a failed or partial action explicit.

### Respect communication preferences

Apply consent, suppression and sending-window requirements to the actual calling or messaging action. A trigger event alone does not establish permission for outreach.

## Automation questions.

### How is Automation different from Flow Builder?

Flow Builder guides the path inside an agent conversation. Automation coordinates triggers and actions across systems, including the work before and after a conversation. A deployment can use both.

### Can a completed call start a follow-up process?

Yes. A configured call-event or post-call webhook can feed a workflow. Use the actual event and stored result to choose the right follow-up, including waiting for transcript or analysis data when needed.

### Can we connect an internal business application?

Use an available integration or an HTTP request with the appropriate endpoint, authorization and field mapping. The team can help assess the specific connection and deployment requirements.

### How do we know an external action completed?

Inspect the step result and the destination system’s record. A run status describes workflow execution; confirmations for bookings, payments or message delivery come from the systems responsible for those outcomes.

## Connect the steps your team handles manually.

Bring the process from first event to final handoff. We’ll map the triggers, decisions, connections and exceptions into a practical workflow.
