Enterprise & Invite Only: Inbound calling capabilities are available for Enterprise customers and by special invitation. Contact support for access to these advanced features.
๐ How Inbound Integration Works
System Architecture
Dual Functionality
- Inbound Calls
- ViciDialer Integration
True Inbound Handling
- Receive calls from customers calling your business
- Handle customer service inquiries automatically
- Process appointment requests and information calls
- Manage support tickets and follow-ups
โ๏ธ Configuration Process
Step 1: Create Reference Call
1
Set Up Outbound Call
Create Template Call
- Create a new outbound call in your project
- Configure all desired settings (AI model, voice, prompts, etc.)
- Set up custom fields and insights as needed
- Test the call to ensure everything works correctly
2
Access Dialer Config
Enable Dialer Configuration
- Navigate to your project settings
- Look for โDialer Configโ section
- Note: This section is enabled on request only
- Contact support if you donโt see this option
3
Attach Reference Call
Link Call to Inbound
- In Dialer Config section, select your test call
- Click โAttach Callโ to link it to inbound routing
- System will generate a unique SIP URI
- Save the configuration
4
Get SIP URI
Retrieve Connection Details
- System displays SIP URI:
sip:xxxxxxxxxx@34.27.110.155:5080
- Copy this URI for your dialer/Twilio configuration
- The
xxxxxxxxxx
is your unique call identifier
Step 2: Configure Your Dialer

Twilio SIP Trunk SetupOrigination URI:Configuration Steps:
- Login to your Twilio Console
- Navigate to Elastic SIP Trunking
- Create or edit your SIP Trunk
- Add the Vodex SIP URI to Origination settings
- Configure authentication if required
Whitelist Status: All Twilio SIP Trunks are pre-whitelisted on Vodex servers for seamless connectivity.

๐ Call Attachment System
Why Use Call Attachment?
Quality Protection: The call attachment system acts as a locking mechanism to ensure inbound call quality remains consistent even when project settings are being modified.
The Problem Without Attachment
Uncontrolled Inbound Issues
Potential Problems:
- Inbound calls affected by real-time project changes
- Inconsistent AI behavior during settings updates
- Quality degradation during agent modifications
- Unpredictable call outcomes during maintenance
The Solution: Call Attachment
Locked Configuration Benefits
Stability Advantages:
- Inbound calls use frozen, tested settings
- Project modifications donโt affect active inbound routing
- Consistent AI behavior for all incoming calls
- Quality assurance through configuration locking
How Call Attachment Works
1
Configuration Snapshot
Settings Capture
- When you attach a call, Vodex captures all settings
- AI prompt, voice settings, model configuration
- Custom fields, insights, and workflow rules
- Complete configuration is โfrozenโ for inbound use
2
Isolated Operation
Independent Processing
- Inbound calls operate independently from project changes
- Live project modifications donโt affect inbound routing
- Attached call settings remain stable and consistent
- Quality is maintained regardless of ongoing work
3
Update Process
Changing Inbound Settings
- To modify inbound behavior, create a new outbound call
- Configure the new call with desired changes
- Test thoroughly before attaching
- Replace the old attachment with the new call
๐ Operational Workflow
Inbound Call Processing
๐ฅ Call Arrival
๐ฅ Call Arrival
Incoming Call Handling
- Call arrives at Vodex SIP gateway
- System extracts unique identifier from SIP URI
- Looks up attached call configuration
- Loads frozen AI agent settings
- Initiates AI conversation with caller
๐ค AI Processing
๐ค AI Processing
Conversation Management
- AI uses locked prompt and personality settings
- Processes caller input using configured model
- Applies custom fields and insights collection
- Handles conversation flow according to attached settings
- Maintains consistent behavior throughout call
๐ Data Collection
๐ Data Collection
Insights and Analytics
- Collects insights based on attached call configuration
- Updates CRM systems if configured
- Generates call summaries and transcripts
- Triggers webhooks with call completion data
- Maintains audit trail for quality assurance

Updating Inbound Configuration
1
Create New Reference Call
Prepare Updated Settings
- Create a new outbound call with desired changes
- Update prompts, voice settings, or AI model
- Configure new custom fields or insights
- Test thoroughly with sample calls
2
Validate Configuration
Quality Assurance
- Run multiple test calls to verify behavior
- Check all conversation flows and edge cases
- Validate insights collection and data accuracy
- Ensure voice quality and response timing
3
Update Attachment
Switch to New Configuration
- Access Dialer Config section in project
- Detach current call configuration
