This section is how you finish the onboarding agent so it can work a real line - not how you name it or pick a voice. Identity (name, greeting, personality, Try this agent) is Your First Agent. Open that first if you have not shaped the agent yet.

The editor has no publish step: a change staged from a chat with Claude or ChatGPT is the only kind that waits for a publish (see Build a reliable phone agent). The header shows Live / v1 and Prompt Based - editing the live agent. Save only when you mean the next caller to hear it.

Do not walk the rail top to bottom on day one. This order is what actually makes an inbound receptionist work.

  1. Identity - already done on Your First Agent. Greeting + prompt + a test call that sounds like your company.

  2. Skills - Knowledge - attach a library so the agent has facts. Without this, it guesses or says “I don’t know.” Knowledge.

  3. Call handling - Hang up - one clear “we’re done” reason, plus a duration ceiling. Otherwise a polite caller sits on a dead line. Hang up.

  4. After the call - set Call results (turn Call Summary on if you want Call Memory later; add only properties you will filter on). Then Alerts if someone should be notified. In the rail, Alerts appears above Call results.

  5. Recording & Privacy - turn recording on if someone will listen back. Put the consent line in the greeting. Recording.

  6. Then, only if a test call showed a problem - Tools & Workflows (SMS, skip-turn, silence, workflows), Transfer, Advanced (talks-over / can’t-hear), How the agent hears.

Required in the editor header is the go-live checklist. It opens Not ready for calls with required items and warnings. Anything required here will fail on a real caller even if Try this agent still works.

Required
Opens Not ready for calls. Required items (for example Telephony not connected) block real callers. Warnings call out mismatches such as tools mentioned in the prompt that are still off.

Do not create a separate Analysis Agent - Call results on this agent is the analysis.

A number answers one agent. Turning it on for a second agent takes it off the first.

Hearing (vocabulary, lag, interruptions that are really a transcription setting) is How the agent hears.

I opened the editor and do not know which tab to touch

Stay on Identity until Try this agent sounds right. Then Knowledge, then Hang up, then Call results / Alerts. Everything else is a response to a real complaint (talks over me, no recording, nobody got the email).

Required shows items to fix but Try this agent works

The test line skips some go-live checks. Open Required - if Telephony is listed under REQUIRED, callers still cannot reach the agent. Connect a channel under Channels before you put a customer number live.
