How It Works
A Zap is an automated workflow made up of a trigger and one or more actions:- A trigger is the event that starts the Zap. Simple AI provides triggers that fire on call events — for example, when a call completes or a tag is applied.
- An action is what the Zap does in response. Actions can run in any connected app (create a HubSpot contact, send a Slack message, add a Google Sheets row) or in Simple AI itself.
Triggers
Simple AI triggers start a Zap when a call event occurs. Each trigger passes the relevant call data into the Zap so downstream actions can use it.
Trigger payloads include call metadata such as the from/to numbers, agent, duration, transcript, tags, sentiment, and any structured data extracted by your analyzers.
Actions
Simple AI actions let a Zap take action in Simple AI in response to an event from another app.
You can combine Simple AI triggers and actions with any of the thousands of apps Zapier supports.
Common Zap Examples
- Call completes → create a HubSpot contact with the call details
- Negative sentiment detected → send an email to the support manager
- Analyzer extracts a qualified lead → add a row to Google Sheets
- Call tagged “follow-up needed” → create a task in Asana or Monday.com
- New row added to a spreadsheet → start an outbound call with Simple AI
