Call channel

Twilio + Telnyx + Bandwidth dialler with AI voice agents and warm-transfer.

The call channel turns a Twilio, Telnyx or Bandwidth number into an outbound dialler that paces dials per account and records and transcribes every conversation. Optional AI voice agents can run the discovery portion of a call and warm-transfer to a human SDR the moment positive intent appears.

The problem

Why most cold calls die at hello

Indian cellular DLT filtering, US 10DLC + STIR/SHAKEN, and aggressive carrier scoring mean unregistered or hot-dial numbers get marked SPAM LIKELY before the first ring. Half your dial budget is burning on calls that never connect.

  • Call connect rate dropped below 8% on a number that worked last month
  • Caller ID shows 'Spam Likely' on prospect's phone
  • Voicemail-only campaigns get blocked by the carrier
  • Reps burn out dialling cold without context

How it works

The detail.

Compliance-first dialler

Every dial passes through the same compliance gate as email — DNC, quiet hours, account status, daily and hourly caps. Operators can configure quiet hours in the recipient’s local timezone so a US campaign and an Indian campaign on the same workspace never bleed into each other’s nighttime.

AI agents do the cold dial — humans close

Hook a voice provider (ElevenLabs / Deepgram / Vapi) on top of the call channel and run AI-led discovery 24/7. The agent reads lead context, follows your script, objection-handles, and the moment a positive intent signal fires — warm-transfers to a human SDR with the transcript summary already on screen.

Connect rates, not just dials

The dashboard tracks connect rate, voicemail outcomes, and cost per connect — alongside email, LinkedIn, SMS, and WhatsApp performance — so you can compare channel ROI in one report.

What sets us apart

Four things you won’t find elsewhere.

No carrier markup

Telnyx, DIDLogic, FreJun pricing flows through verbatim. We charge a flat platform fee — never a per-minute markup.

Carrier-credential honesty

Missing API key → 409 with a clear code. Never a fake successful dial row that pollutes your analytics.

Recordings live with the lead

Audio + transcript attach to the lead timeline. Coaching, training, and compliance review all happen in one click.

BYO dialer engine

Click-to-call, IVR menus, dialer campaigns and voicemail-drop setup — all native. Replace Aircall + Twilio Studio + a CRM with one login.

Anti-ban rules

The rules that keep your account alive.

Every rule below is enforced before any outbound action. The compliance gate either passes or it doesn’t dispatch.

  • Never auto-dial without DLT (India) / 10DLC (US) registration
    Why: Carrier filters block unregistered numbers within hours; reputation does not recover quickly.
  • Min-gap of 60s between dials per number
    Why: Bursts of dials from one number are the strongest signal of an autodialer; spreading out keeps caller-ID clean.
  • Quiet hours in recipient's local timezone
    Why: Calling 10 PM IST from a US workspace is the fastest way to a regulator complaint.
  • DNC list checked before every dial
    Why: TCPA in the US carries $500–$1,500 per-violation statutory damages; one missed DNC ruins a quarter.
  • Max 50 dials/day per number on warmup
    Why: Above that, carriers re-score the number toward 'spam likely' even with good calls.

Example scenarios

How a team would use this.

12-rep outbound team

AI agent on Day 2 of every sequence

Sequences with an AI dial on Day 2 + human follow-up on Day 6 produce more meetings per dial than human-only sequences, because the AI agent qualifies politely and warm-transfers only on positive intent. Reps spend their hours on connected calls, not voicemail piles.

More dials per shift, with the same gates before each one
Multi-region SDR team (US + IN + EU)

A number from the lead's own country

Routing resolves the number to dial from in a fixed order: a per-user routing rule for that country, then an org-wide rule, then the workspace country-to-provider map, then the rep's assigned number, then any active number whose own country matches the lead. Strict-country mode refuses to fall back to a number from another country.

One approved voicemail recording

The team lead saves one approved recording as the workspace default drop and another for a single campaign. Creating a drop needs an owner or admin, and every change is audited. Playback into calls is not built yet.

FAQ

Specific to this feature.

Do I need DLT registration to call from India?

+

Yes for promotional calls — register your sender entity + headers with TRAI. Autocloz refuses to dispatch through an unregistered Indian number.

Does the AI voice agent sound human?

+

ElevenLabs realtime TTS with sub-300ms latency. Most prospects don't notice in the first 30 seconds. We always disclose 'AI assistant' in the opener — Indian and US regulations require it.

Can I record calls?

+

Yes, where legal — both-party consent states / countries get an auto-prepended consent line. Recordings store in your provider (Twilio S3) — we keep only the URL + transcript.

What about international rates?

+

We pass through your provider's rates verbatim — no Autocloz markup. You see exact cost-per-connect on the dashboard.

In depth

The full story.

Autocloz's calling stack is built for outbound teams that have outgrown lightweight click-to-call tools but don't want the bloat (and price tag) of an enterprise contact-center platform. The voice surface includes everything a 10–500-agent outbound team needs: phone numbers, dialer, IVR, voicemail-drop setup, recordings, and per-call analytics — under one workspace, with the same RBAC + audit log as the rest of the platform.

The most common reason teams switch to Autocloz from Aircall, JustCall, or RingCentral is the carrier-markup problem. Resale-model dialers charge 3–5× the underlying Twilio (or equivalent) per-minute rate. For a 50-agent team doing 200 dials per shift, that's six-figure annual markup on calling minutes alone. Autocloz never resells minutes — your carrier bills you directly, we charge a flat platform fee, and the savings compound as your volume grows.

TCPA, India DLT, and STIR/SHAKEN compliance are enforced at the dial gate, not afterthoughts. Every outbound call passes through DNC pre-flight (workspace + lead-level), country-specific quiet-hours check, and (for India) DLT registration verification. The compliance officer sees the gate decision per call in /call/cdr; the audit log is queryable by date, agent, or disposition for your annual SOC 2 review.

The browser softphone runs on Telnyx WebRTC (no plugin), or routes through DIDLogic SIP via the agent's external softphone. FreJun integration uses per-agent OAuth tokens (the agent connects their FreJun account once; subsequent dials route through it automatically). Every provider option is first-class — pick whichever fits your geography, switch between them per-DID, mix carriers in the same workspace.
