This guide walks you through creating, customizing, and managing inbound voice call flows using the new visual flow builder in WooSender.


🧭 Overview

The Inbound Call Flow Builder allows you to design interactive call handling sequences visually. Each call flow begins with a Start Inbound Voice card and progresses based on routing logic and user-defined actions.

Why Use the Inbound Call Flow Builder?

Whether you're running a lean team or handling high call volumes, the Inbound Call Flow Builder puts you in control of every incoming call experience.

Here’s what’s in it for you:

  • Never Miss a Lead Again
    Automatically route calls to the right team member or even let our AI qualify and book appointments 24/7—so no opportunity slips through the cracks.

  • Deliver a 5-Star Caller Experience
    Greet every caller professionally, provide clear menu options, and offer smart routing that respects their time and needs.

  • Save Hours of Manual Work
    Set it once and let it run. Calls get recorded, tagged, assigned, and followed up—without lifting a finger.

  • Scale Without Chaos
    Whether you have 1 agent or 20, flows like Simulcall and Round Robin ensure calls are distributed fairly and efficiently.

  • Be There, Even When You’re Not
    After-hours routing, voicemail, and WooAI let you serve your customers around the clock—without burning out your team.

In short: It’s about giving your callers the experience they expect—and giving you back time, visibility, and peace of mind.
