Troubleshooting AI Calling

Why Is My AI Not Answering Inbound Calls or Not Making Outbound Calls?

1. Check Wallet Balance and Payments (Most Common Issue!)

  • Inbound & Outbound calls will not work if your wallet balance is at zero or negative.

  • Where to check:

    • Bottom left of your dashboard—if you see the wallet balance, ensure it is positive.

    • If you don’t see a wallet (you aren’t responsible for balance), the issue might be elsewhere or with your agency account.

  • Auto Top-Off:

    • Make sure auto-reload or auto-refill is enabled. This prevents unexpected outages.

  • How to fix:

    • Go to Settings > Billing, connect a payment method, and activate auto payments.


2. For Inbound Calls:

  • Very rare for inbound not to work unless it's a balance/payment issue.

  • If the balance is fine and still not working, contact your agency/support.


3. For Outbound Calls: Step-by-Step Checklist

a. Is a Phone Number Connected to the AI Assistant?

  • In your AI Assistant Editor, top right, make sure a phone number is shown.

  • If it’s an imported number (Twilio, Telnyx, etc.), verify that your SIP trunk and number import steps are complete.

b. Check Your Outbound Workflow

  • Go to CRM > Automations and open the workflow that should trigger the outbound call.

  • Confirm that the action “Make AI Call” is present.

  • Double-check the Assistant ID:

    • Copy it again from your assistant’s settings and paste—no extra spaces!

  • If using a number pool, verify the pool ID is correct and that pool contains active numbers.

c. Test & Inspect Execution Logs

  • Test Workflow:

    • Use the workflow’s “Test” feature, select a real contact (with a valid number), and run the test.

  • Execution Logs:

    • In your automation, go to Execution Logs.

    • Look for the contact and the “Make AI Call” action.

    • Was it successful or failed?

    • If failed, note the error code/message.

Common Error Codes:

  • No Balance: Fix by adding funds/turning on auto-refill.

  • Carrier Rejected: Might be an issue with the phone number or phone carrier—See specific Carrier Rejected documentation.

  • Dial Failed: Double-check the target phone number and ensure the assistant has a connected number.

  • Concurrency Limit: Too many calls attempted at once—see tips below.


4. Bulk Calls & Concurrency Limits

  • Twilio’s default limit: ~2 calls per second.

  • If you push tens of contacts into a workflow at the same time, calls may fail.

  • Solution:

    • Use a drip action at the start of the workflow (e.g., 1 call every 0.1 minute = ~7 sec spacing).

    • For larger scale, use a number pool (multiple numbers rotate).

    • For very high volume, request a higher concurrency rate from your telephony provider.


5. Call Center Log Checks

  • Go to Call Center > Call List Tab.

  • Search for the failed call(s).

  • Check the status column:

    • "Fail Call" / "Dial Failed" / "Carrier Rejected":

      • Carrier rejected: Check number format, carrier restrictions, or regulatory issues.

      • Dial failed: Verify numbers, ensure phone is connected.

    • "Concurrency Reached": Too many calls at once, reduce batch size or add more numbers.


6. Single vs. Bulk Contact Testing

  • Single contact failed? Focus on wallet, phone number, assistant ID, and logs.

  • Bulk contacts failed? Most likely concurrency/volume—drip, pool, or carrier limits.


🚦 Quick Checklist

Step

Action

Wallet Balance

Ensure balance > $0, payment method linked, auto top-off enabled

Assistant Number

Phone number connected? (Platform/imported, verified, not expired)

Workflow Setup

“Make AI Call” action present, Assistant ID correct, no extra spaces

Test & Logs

Test with real contact, review execution logs for success/failure & error codes

Bulk Call Volume

Add drip step (slow down), use number pool for >20-50 calls/day

Call Center Logs

Look for call status: Fail, Carrier Rejected, Concurrency; follow appropriate fix

 

 

 


 

🆘 Still Not Working?

If after all these checks it’s still not working, contact Agent Suite:

  • The error code or log message from the execution logs.

  • If the issue is for a single contact or a bulk batch.
