AI Call Filtering and Routing
Each call follows the right rule from the start.Kalyvox identifies the call reason and follows the workflow you defined: transfer, message, alert or information capture.
How Kalyvox handles calls for your industry
Built for the way you workThe answering flow follows the vocabulary, priorities and next steps of call screening and routing.
Rules by intent
Urgency, quote, booking or routine request can each follow a different path.
Useful context preserved
Your team receives the reason, details and next action after the call.
Before / after
What changes when call screening and routing calls are handled immediately.
Separate call reasons before involving the team
Route using your rules, not an improvised decision
Provide a fallback when nobody answers
Kalyvox answers while your team is unavailable.
The reason, contact details and useful context arrive in one structured request.
Urgent calls follow the transfer or escalation rule you configured.
On the ground
Where this call scenario usually breaks down.
The details vary by industry. The pattern is the same: the phone rings precisely when your team is already busy.
Separate call reasons before involving the team
Sales, existing clients, support, billing or other configured intents can follow different workflows.
Route using your rules, not an improvised decision
You define the intents, destinations, schedules and conditions that determine what happens next.
Provide a fallback when nobody answers
A failed transfer can fall back to a message or another workflow instead of leaving the caller without a next step.
Handle priority calls using explicit criteria
Your criteria can trigger an alert or transfer. Kalyvox does not independently assess the severity or importance of a call.
Inside the call
The caller explains the problem. Kalyvox turns it into an actionable request.
An existing customer calls about billing while the main line also receives sales and support enquiries.

How does inbound call routing work?
Routing relies on two simple things: understand why the person is calling, then apply the rule configured for that reason.
1. Identify the reason
Kalyvox recognises the intent among those you configured: sales, support, billing, existing customer or another reason.
2. Capture required context
Before routing, the workflow can ask for a customer reference, name, specific reason or other useful information.
3. Apply the routing rule
The call is transferred, an alert is sent or a message is captured according to the destination, schedule and configured conditions.
4. Run the fallback
If the transfer does not connect, Kalyvox follows the configured fallback instead of abandoning the call.
Data captured
What can be captured during the call?
- Call reason
- Caller type
- Name or reference
- Configured destination
- Call time
- Priority criteria
- Transfer outcome
Common cases
Different calls, different outcomes.
Sales prospect
Short qualification followed by transfer or callback depending on sales availability.
Customer with a specific request
The reason is identified and routed to the corresponding destination or workflow.
Destination unavailable
The fallback takes over with a structured message, alert or another configured workflow.
After-hours call
A separate rule can apply without changing the workflow used during business hours.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
How does Kalyvox know where to route a call?
You configure the intents to recognise and the rule associated with each one: destination, transfer, message, alert or another workflow.
Can routing rules change by schedule?
Yes. Behaviour can vary according to your configured schedules and workflows, such as transferring during business hours and taking a message after hours.
What happens if the destination does not answer?
You can configure a fallback such as message capture, information collection or another next step instead of leaving the call unresolved.
Can Kalyvox filter sales solicitation calls?
You can configure a specific workflow for calls identified as solicitation according to your criteria, rather than transferring every call to the team.
Can prospects, customers and support calls route differently?
Yes. Each intent can have its own destination and workflow, including information to collect before a transfer when needed.
How are priority calls handled?
You define which reasons or answers trigger an alert or transfer. Kalyvox applies those criteria without independently deciding severity.
