​

Step 1: Setup Your Authorization

Before making a call, you need to authenticate your request. Make sure you have your API key ready.

Sign up on the developer portal to get yours.

​

Step 2: Prepare the Call Data

You will need to provide specific details for the call. These include:

• phone_number : : The number you want to call. Remember to include the country code
• task: : Describe the purpose of the call and how the AI should handle the conversation.
• voice_id : : Choose the voice persona (American male, Australian female, etc.) based on your preference.
• Set parameters like reduce_latency,record,amd(for navigating phone trees), and wait_for_greeting according to your call’s requirements.

​

Step 3: Customize the call

You can further personalize the call by:

1. Setting a first_sentence for the call.
2. Specifying dynamic_data to incorporate external API data.
3. Adjusting voice_settings for stability, similarity, and speed.
4. Choosing the language with the language parameter.
5. Setting a max_duration for the call.

​

Step 4: Send the API Request

Use the provided JavaScript or Python code snippet to make the API request.

​

Step 5: Handle the Response

After the call, you will receive a response with the status and call_id. If you set record to true, you can retrieve the recording using the /call/recording endpoint.

Here’s what an example response might look like:

{
  "status": "success",
  "call_id": "9d404c1b-6a23-4426-953a-a52c392ff8f1"
}

​

Step 6: Monitor the Call

If you have set up a webhook, you will receive real-time notifications and transcripts once the call completes.

And that’s it! You’re now ready to make your first AI-powered phone call with Luly AI. Happy calling!
