# Call Lead

> Place an AI-powered outbound call to a contact from a workflow.

The Call Lead action places an outbound call to the contact using your AI agent.

## Configuration

| Field              | Required | Description                                    |
| ------------------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Assistant**      | Yes      | The agent that handles the call                |
| **Phone number**   | Yes      | Number to dial. Defaults to `{phone_number}`   |
| **Recipient name** | No       | Name passed to the agent. Defaults to `{name}` |

## Outputs

The Call Lead node has three output branches. Connect different nodes to each to handle every outcome:

| Output             | When it fires                                                       |
| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Call Completed     | The call was answered and ended normally                            |
| Call Failed        | The call could not be placed (no phone number, agent misconfigured) |
| Voicemail Detected | The call reached voicemail                                          |

## Use case

A Facebook Lead Ad fires the trigger. A Call Lead action dials the lead within 30 seconds. A Condition node reads the outcome: if completed and interested, a HubSpot action creates a deal. If voicemail, a Send SMS action sends a follow-up text with a booking link.
