Deploy Fin over phone

This guide shows you how to configure, test, deploy, and monitor Fin Voice for phone support.

Updated over 2 months ago

Fin Voice answers every call instantly, uses your existing knowledge base to resolve questions, and when human help is needed, seamlessly hands off the call to the right agent with full context. Every call reflects your brand, runs 24/7, and scales without adding headcount.

This guide explains how to test Fin in your browser and deploy it to a live phone number.

Fin Voice availability: Fin Voice is currently limited to select customers partnered with our Sales team. If you’d like to learn more about pricing, please reach out to your account manager. We look forward to making Fin Voice more widely available soon.


How do I use Fin Voice?

We recommend following these steps:

  • Prepare your content – Add content to Fin.

  • Test Fin Voice – Use the web app to simulate voice calls and hear how Fin responds. This gives you a clear idea of how Fin works with your support content and handles customer questions.

  • Deploy – Once you’re confident, go to the Deploy page and assign Fin to a phone number (main line or test line). Configure Fin’s behavior, active hours, and escalation rules.

  • Monitor – View Fin phone conversations, including transcripts and outcomes.

  • Analyze – Check performance metrics like resolution rate, involvement, and call duration in your Custom Report.


Prepare your content

To set up your content for Fin you can follow the guide here: Add your support content for Fin.


Test Fin Voice

The Voice Testing tab lets you simulate calls in‑browser before any real customers are involved.

What you can do

  • Hear Fin answer using your own support content and check accuracy.

  • Switch voices to choose the voice that fits your brand.

  • Preview greetings & escalation rules exactly as callers would hear them.

  • Run typical scenarios using preconfigured scripts.

  • Load saved configurations from the Set Fin Live tab to test advanced setups.

How to run a test session

  • Click Test.

  • Wait for Fin to greet you, then start speaking.

  • If prompted, grant your browser microphone permission.

Change voice or greeting on the fly

Click Settings (top right).

Select a voice from the list.

Update the language you want to use (currently supported are English and Spanish). Edit the greeting copy (you can set different greetings for inside office vs. outside office hours).

Test with saved configurations

If you’ve created multiple voice configurations under Set Fin Live, use the ▼ next to Test to select one and run it here.


Deploy Fin Voice

When you’re ready, move Fin from testing to a live phone line from Deploy > Phone > Set Fin Live. This is the only way to deploy Fin Voice - it’s not possible to add ‘Fin Voice’ to your existing workflows.

Deploying moves Fin from the sandbox to a real phone line. Work through the settings from top to bottom.

Add a new line

First you will need to connect your phone number by clicking + New line.

Give this line a name and select where you will forward calls from:

All numbers in your workspace appear in the list in the Set Fin live section. Click the edit icon to start configuring the experience.

Note: A phone number will only appear in Set Fin live section once you have purchased a number.

Office hours

Decide when Fin should answer:

  • Office hours

  • Outside office hours

  • 24/7

Fin introduces itself

  • Pick your preferred voice (preview voices in Voice Testing).

  • Specify your default language per phone line. Currently supported languages are English and Spanish.

  • Write greetings for in‑office and out‑of‑office hours.

Using support content

Fin automatically uses your enabled support content and audience rules.

When to escalate

Set up and enable specific escalation guidance for how Fin handles phone conversations.

Categorize the issue

Optionally enable AI categories for topic‑based routing.

Ask for rating

Choose whether customers are asked to rate their phone experience before the Fin call ends (only when the call is not handed over). Customers can rate their call from 1 to 5 using their phone keypad.

If Fin can't resolve the conversation

Configure separate behaviors for inside and outside office hours.

If Fin resolves the call, decide whether to auto‑close or assign to a QA Inbox to review it.


Audience-specific content

You can restrict Fin’s answers to the right customers by scoping its knowledge to distinct audiences.

How to set it up

  • Create / edit an audience: Settings → Data → Audiences.

  • Add your phone number as one of the audience rules (e.g. Phone number is +1 415‑555‑0123).

  • Add that audience to relevant support content.

  • Fin Voice on that line will now quote only the audience targeted content.

Caller‑based targeting

When an inbound phone number matches an existing user or lead, any audience rules tied to that contact automatically apply—no extra setup required.


Customize Fin Voice behavior with Guidance

You can customize Fin's behavior for phone calls using Guidance to ensure it aligns with your brand's voice and operational policies. Guidance for Fin Voice functions similarly to guidance for chat and email but is configured in a separate Voice tab.

To add guidance, navigate to Train > Guidance and select the Voice tab. From here, you can create customized guidance for:

  • Communication style: Define the specific vocabulary and terms Fin should use.

  • Context and clarification: Create rules for the follow-up questions Fin should ask to better understand a customer's issue.

  • Handover and escalation: Set up rules for when Fin should route a call directly to your team.

Note: Guidance configured in the Voice tab only applies to Fin Voice. Other Guidance types are found in the chat and email tab.


Connect Fin Voice to your systems to take action

Voice Procedures allow Fin Voice to take action during a call by connecting directly to your systems via API — enabling Fin to fully resolve complex queries like processing refunds or credits, updating subscriptions, editing orders, or completing other multi-step workflows. All of this happens in real time, over the phone, without placing the caller on hold or transferring them.

Note: Voice Procedures are currently available in closed beta. These workflows are built in partnership with our Voice R&D team to ensure customers get reliable, high-quality outcomes. If you're interested in enabling Voice Procedures or learning more, please reach out to your Account Manager, who can share next steps and eligibility details.

Use AI Insights

In addition to the Fin AI Agent report, you can analyze your call data within Analyze to get a deeper understanding of performance and conversation topics.

Performance dashboard

Your Fin Voice calls are included in the Performance dashboard. To see data exclusively for your phone channel, you can apply a filter for Channel is Phone call.

Topics Explorer

The transcripts from your Fin Voice calls are used to automatically generate topics in Topics Explorer. This helps you easily spot trends and identify areas where your support content or guidance can be improved.

Note: CX Score is not yet available for phone calls within Insights or Reporting. You may see a CX score applied if a conversation started on the phone but was resolved on a different channel, like chat or email.


Telephony integrations

You can connect Fin Voice with a wide range of third-party telephony systems. This allows you to use Fin Voice's powerful conversational AI while keeping your existing phone provider.

Supported platforms include:

  • AWS Connect

  • Talkdesk

  • CXOne

  • Aircall

  • Dialpad

  • Twilio Flex

  • Zoom Phone

  • Genesys

  • Five9

  • and others

There are two primary methods for integrating your system with Fin Voice: using a standard phone number (PSTN) or using a SIP address.

Integrate Fin Voice to an external phone provider (PSTN)

This guide will show you how to connect an external phone line, known as a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) line, to Fin.

This method allows you to forward incoming calls from your current provider directly to Fin for automated handling. The connection works both ways—if a customer needs to speak to a person, Fin can seamlessly escalate the call back to your team on your existing telephony system.

Before you start, you'll need an active phone number in your third-party telephony system (e.g., Amazon Connect) that currently receives your customer calls.

Create a new line

Your first step is to create a new line in your Fin workspace. This process generates a unique phone number that you'll use to forward calls from your provider.

  1. From your Fin workspace, navigate to Deploy > Phone > Set Fin Live.

  2. Click + New line.

  3. In the "New line" window, fill out the following details:

    • Give this line a name: Choose a name for your internal reference, like "Main Support Line" or "Sales Inquiries".

    • Where will you forward calls from: Select From a phone number (PSTN).

    • What third party will you forward calls from?: Choose Amazon Connect if that's your provider. If you use any other service, select Other.

  4. Click Next.

  5. You will now be prompted to purchase a new phone number. Confirm your choice to purchase the number. This number is now assigned to your new Fin Voice line.

You'll know the setup is successful when you see your new phone number displayed in your Fin Voice settings. Be sure to copy this number for the next part of the process.

Set up call forwarding in your external system

Now, you’ll need to configure your current phone provider to redirect incoming calls to the number you just acquired.

  1. Log in to your account with your third-party phone provider.

  2. Navigate to the settings for the specific phone number your customers call.

  3. Locate the "Call Forwarding," "Call Routing," or a similarly named feature.

  4. In the destination or forwarding field, paste the new phone number you copied from above.

  5. Save your changes.

Note: The user interface and terminology can differ between providers. If you can't find the call forwarding settings, please check your provider's help documentation. Remember that some providers may apply charges for call forwarding.

Test your connection

Let’s make sure everything is flowing correctly with a quick test call.

  1. From a separate phone, dial your main public-facing phone number (the one you just set up forwarding for).

  2. The call should be automatically routed to Fin.

  3. Fin Voice should answer the call.

If Fin answers, your connection is successful. Fin is now ready to handle incoming calls on that line.

Forward Fin Voice calls to your system

  1. In your own telephony system, create a dedicated phone number or queue specifically for escalations from Fin Voice. This ensures these calls are routed to the correct team.

  2. In your Fin workspace, go to Deploy > Phone > Set Fin Live and configure call forwarding to send escalated calls to the dedicated number in your telephony system.


Integrating with SIP

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an alternative method for forwarding calls over the internet instead of through traditional phone networks.

Create a new line

Your first step is to create a new line in your Fin workspace. This process generates a unique phone number that you'll use to forward calls from your provider.

  1. In your Fin workspace, navigate to the Deploy > Phone > Set Fin Live.

  2. Click + New line.

  3. In the "New line" window, fill out the following details:

    • Give this line a name: Choose a name for your internal reference, like "Main Support Line" or "Sales Inquiries".

    • Where will you forward calls from: Select From a SIP (VoIP). This will generate a unique SIP URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for Fin Voice.

    • What third party will you forward calls from?: Choose Amazon Connect if that's your provider. If you use any other service, select Other.

  4. Click Next.

  5. You will now be prompted to purchase a new phone number. Confirm your choice to purchase the number. This number is now assigned to your new Fin Voice line.

You'll know the setup is successful when you see your new phone number displayed in your Fin Voice settings. Be sure to copy this number for the next part of the process.

Set up call forwarding in your external system

Now, you’ll need to configure your current phone provider to redirect incoming calls to the number you just acquired.

  1. Log in to your account with your third-party telephony.

  2. Navigate to the settings for the specific phone number your customers call.

  3. Locate the "Call Forwarding," "Call Routing," or a similarly named feature.

  4. In the destination or forwarding field, paste the new phone number you copied from above.

  5. Save your changes.

Note: The user interface and terminology can differ between providers. If you can't find the call forwarding settings, please check your provider's help documentation. Remember that some providers may apply charges for call forwarding.

Test your connection

Let’s make sure everything is flowing correctly with a quick test call.

  1. From a separate phone, dial your main public-facing phone number (the one you just set up forwarding for).

  2. The call should be automatically routed to Fin.

  3. Fin Voice should answer the call.

If Fin answers, your connection is successful. Fin is now ready to handle incoming calls on that line.

Forward Fin Voice calls to your system

  1. In your own telephony system, create a dedicated queue for Fin Voice escalations and get its corresponding SIP URI. This ensures these calls are routed to the correct team.

  2. In your Fin workspace, go to Deploy > Phone > Set Fin Live and configure call forwarding to send escalated calls to the SIP URI of the dedicated queue in your system.

Note: If you need help with a SIP integration or would like to explore an API integration, please reach out to your relationship manager to arrange time with our product team.


Resolutions and pricing

How do you define Fin Voice resolutions?

A Fin Voice Resolution is defined as a person asking a question and receiving at least one answer (based on your knowledge base content) from Fin and then disconnecting from the call or the call is disconnected for any reason.

If a caller abandons the call while Fin is transferring, does that count as a resolution?

No, if a call is abandoned while it's being transferred or forwarded to your team, this does not count as a resolution.

How do you charge for Fin Voice?

Contact your account owner to learn more about pricing. Once agreed, Fin Voice pricing will be set out in your Order Form.
