Outbound role · Follow-up & survey caller

An AI survey caller that hears every customer

Checks in after a sale or visit and captures structured answers. Calls customers after a purchase, visit or support case, asks a short set of questions, captures the answers as structured data and flags anyone unhappy for a human follow-up.

What it does

What an AI survey caller handles for you

The follow-up & survey caller template ships with these goals. You measure it by one number: completed surveys.

goal · capture

Collect answers to the survey questions

Checks in after a sale or visit and captures structured answers.

goal · escalate

Flag unhappy customers for a human

Part of the template — change it, add to it or remove it.

Completed surveys

Every call ends with a logged outcome, so the metric is counted, not guessed.

Who puts an AI survey caller on the phone

  • Service businesses that want feedback after every visit, not a sample
  • Support teams closing the loop after a case
  • Sales teams checking in after a purchase or delivery

Direction

Places calls to your contacts — only those with a lawful basis to be called.

A sample call

Hear how it sounds on a real line

The disclosure comes first, then the greeting you write. Between turns the agent calls its tools — you see each one in the call log.

After the call

  • Answers stored as structured fields on the contact, next to the call.
  • Unhappy customers flagged for a human follow-up — before they churn.
  • A summary by email when you want one, and an outcome on every call.

The template

Starts configured. Stays editable.

A greeting, the built-in tools this role needs, and room for your own systems through MCP tools.

Greeting

“Hi, this is Alex, an AI assistant for [Your company].” Hi, this is Alex from [Your company]. Do you have two minutes for a quick check-in?

The disclosure is always first and added by the runtime; the rest is yours to write. Default greetings ship in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

Outbound rules

It only calls people it is allowed to call

Before every dial the runtime checks consent, do-not-call lists and the recipient’s local calling hours. Outside the window, the call is scheduled for the next open slot — never dialled.

  • AI disclosure, first sentence. Every call — inbound and outbound — opens by saying it is an AI assistant for your company. Enforced by the runtime (EU AI Act Art. 50, from 2 Aug 2026).
  • Opt-out the same turn. “Stop calling me” writes the number to suppression before the call ends, and the agent confirms it.
  • Calling hours per country and state. Outside the recipient’s window, a call is scheduled for the next open slot — never dialled.
  • Consent ledger. Consent, opt-outs and list hits are stored as append-only evidence: source, basis and time.

Full per-country rules on the AI calling compliance page and in our security and data residency notes.

FAQ

Follow-up & survey caller questions

Does the AI survey caller say it is an AI?
Yes — the first sentence of every call discloses it, added by the runtime so no script can remove it.
Where do the survey answers go?
Each answer is captured as structured data on the contact, next to the call record. The agent can also email a summary.
What happens with an unhappy customer?
The survey caller flags them for a human follow-up instead of pushing through the script.
Who can it call?
Customers with a lawful basis in their jurisdiction. In Germany, France and Switzerland outbound is consent-only at launch, and every dial is checked against do-not-call lists and local calling hours.
Can I change the goals and the greeting?
Everything in the template is editable: goals, greeting, persona, voice, hours, tools and transfers.
How much does an AI survey caller cost?
One all-in rate per connected minute, from $0.19 on Free down to $0.13 on Scale — speech-to-text, the model, the voice and standard termination included. Ringing and unanswered calls are free, and browser test calls cost nothing.
