The Front Desk Voice Agent Should Know When To Stop Being the Front Desk

Описание и применение

Врача‑телефонный агент клиники использует Telnyx Edge для маршрутизации звонков, сохраняет контекст и при обнаружении срочной ситуации инициирует кодовый путь эскалации, отправляя SMS, дозыляя медсестру и записывая событие.

Задача

Clinic phone lines handle multiple workflows—hours, billing, intake, after‑hours messages, and urgent patient alerts—yet existing phone trees are stateless and lack a reliable handoff mechanism.

Результат

The workflow demonstrates a stateless‑free, context‑aware voice assistant that escalates urgent calls via code, ensuring reliable alerts, bridging, and auditability.

Рабочий процесс

• Answer inbound clinic call via Telnyx Edge
• Record caller ID and inject routing history
• Start AI assistant persona (front desk, billing, or clinical)
• If routine, transfer to next persona while preserving context
• If urgent symptom detected, invoke escalation webhook tool
• Webhook triggers code to: send SMS alert to on‑call nurse, dial nurse, play briefing, bridge patient to live call, and write event to durable log
• Return to caller or end call
