Short answer

How do I start bulk outbound calls with my AI?

You tell your agent to trigger a batch of calls using your contact list. The AI sends the instructions to Bland AI and then monitors the progress of those calls. You'll see the results of every conversation once the batch finishes.

Campaign outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI manages the heavy lifting of the calling process.

ACTIVE

Live call batches

The AI initiates the process and keeps the calls running. You can track which numbers are currently being dialed.

COMPLETED

Finished call logs

Once the calls end, the AI gathers the data. You get a clear record of what happened during every conversation.

PENDING

Queued numbers

If you have a massive list, the AI manages the queue. It ensures every number in your batch gets processed.

HUMAN

Manual follow-ups

The AI flags specific outcomes that require a person. You step in only when a call hits a specific trigger you've set.

The workflow

What your AI does when the campaign starts.

The AI acts as the bridge between your instructions and the phone network.

  1. Trigger the calls

    Your agent takes your list of numbers and sends them out as a single group to the calling engine.

    send_batch

  2. Monitor progress

    The AI checks on the status of the calls to see how many are finished or still ringing.

  3. Retrieve results

    After the calls wrap up, the AI pulls the specific details from the completed batch.

    get_batch

  4. Finalize reporting
