Workflow Triggers: Call Transcript Generated

The Call Transcript Generated trigger starts a workflow automatically when a call transcript becomes available, allowing you to take immediate action based on call content and metadata.

Updated over 3 months ago

Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this trigger if you want to automate follow-ups, internal tasks, or data updates after a call handled through Calls, IVR, or Voice AI once transcription is complete.

What the Call Transcript Generated Trigger Does

This trigger adds a contact to a workflow when Kyrios finishes generating a call transcript. The workflow can then reference:

  • The full call transcript text

  • Call direction, duration, and identifiers

  • Caller and recipient details

  • Location metadata (city, state, country)

This trigger only fires after transcription is successfully generated.

How to Add the Call Transcript Generated Trigger

Step 1: Create a New Workflow

  1. Go to Automations β†’ Workflows.

  2. Click Create Workflow.

  3. Select Start from Scratch.

Step 2: Add the Trigger

  1. In the workflow builder, click Add New Trigger.

  2. Open the Conversation AI section.

  3. Select Transcript Generated.

Step 3: Choose Transcript Source Type

Under Filters β†’ Type, choose which call types should activate the workflow:

  • Calls

  • IVR

  • Voice AI

If transcription is disabled for the selected type, a warning banner appears with a shortcut to enable it.

Step 4: (Optional) Add Additional Filters

You can narrow when the trigger fires by applying filters such as:

  • Direction: Incoming or Outgoing

  • Duration (seconds): Greater than or less than a specific value

Example:

  • Type = Calls

  • Direction = Incoming

  • Duration > 100 seconds

Click Save Trigger when finished.

Using Transcript Data Inside the Workflow

Once triggered, transcript-related fields become available throughout the workflow.

Available Transcript Fields

You can reference these values in conditions, messages, tasks, and updates:

  • Transcript (full text)

  • Call SID

  • Call Direction

  • Call Duration

  • Call From

  • Call To

  • Caller location fields (city, state, country, zip)

Use these fields through If/Else conditions, custom values, or message personalization.

Common Issues and Fixes

The trigger does not fire

  • Confirm call transcription is enabled for the selected call type.

  • Verify the call completed successfully and generated a transcript.

Transcription warning message appears

  • Click Go to settings from the warning banner and enable transcription.

  • Voice AI calls have transcription enabled by default.

Transcript fields are empty

  • The workflow started before transcription completed.

  • Ensure you are using the Transcript Generated trigger, not a call-start trigger.
