This works perfectly. I can't thank you enough. The only edit I needed to make was to change the 3 months to one. other than that this is plug and play.
im a single small business brother thats literally what i need.... ive achieved becoming the best rated company for florida service companies, i cant wait to get this working i needed it be human sounding and this is perfect
My first post after being on youtube over 10 years. I really appreciate you and your channel. I didn't suggest the video but it is exactly what I was working on. Thanks
Hey@@tech-at-work im having a problem with this. Everything works fine except retrieving the busy info. the bot always set g_busy to null; i did exactly what you did on video and my head is hurting from looking up solutions
You can troubleshoot from the Make application, and run tests, and see what each node is getting and see where the null is coming from. Does the Google Calendar node show null as its output?
I know, Im troubleshooting everything and everything works fine, I actually also recieve the data to the blandai api call on the test, but when i call the bot it turns to null. Is there anyway or discord in wich i can send you pictures?
very nice. thank you for this video. probably the clearest step by step I've seen so far. Will you do a video in the future that does this same thing using conversational pathways?
Interesting things The efficiency of customer service will be revolutionized by this instruction on using Bland AI for phone appointments. Regards for sharing!#SMythOS #aitools
But does it behave if you ask for something out of the ordinary? E.g. date changes, cancellations, or something unrelated like, e.g. do you provide service x, can you help me with x etc.? I suppose the AI can be set up to handle things like that?
@tech-at-work plz make a video on outbound appointment scheduling calling bot that calls leads and tell them about their services and if they are interested, book a meeting and send them a meeting link
So I ended up buying a number and setting it up. But from a working perspective, it hangs quite a few times. When looking for a tee time - it is acting like a real person and went to get a coffee. I would say are you there and she says, yes, still here, looking for a tee time etc. So if I get by that stage, the next hang up is when booking the tee time, so when i get by that and give my name and number, it goes silent, so I hang up. The entry has been made. - name only, doesn't seem to get the phone number piece - any ideas or suggestion to stop here from falling asleep ? Not only that, Make keeps shutting down the scenario as well.
Oh this one is amazing! Can u connect it to pinecone and have it pull customer information and know everything about them? And how about setting it up to also respond to emails and delete them from junk box And what about hanging up if it's a marketer selling services Can it be used to qualify leads and get pictures from them And what about writing invoices and collecting money Love your videos just found your channel
This video is awesome! It's going to help my business a lot. Could you please make a video on how to send payment links with stripe after the customer speaks with agent. You're the best!
So to get more natural conversation do you recommend using chat GPT instead of conversations pathways ? Other question do you have a solution to have some background noise for AI voices in order to be even more natural ( would be greath to have breathe pause + background noise some day)
So I have the webhooks working. After the caller gives the information, The "booking " works, customer gets a success message and JUST before theyre cut off.... "we had an error" . Caller hangs up and the appointment shows in google. Thoughts?
Thank you so much for this video. It worked the first time I tried. How do you suggest to enhance to cancel an appointment in this scenario. Currently says I cannot handle this I will transfer you. How can I add a number ti transfer the call?. Thank you so much.
Please advise, I keep getting an error on the Google Calendar action under the create event scenario and the scenario keeps failing: Error Validation failed for 1 parameter(s). - Invalid date in parameter 'start'.
I am trying to make a bot that will answer the phone, ask if they have questions (solve via knowledgebase) OR if they need to schedule an appointment and then trigger this make setup that way, but the pathway is a bit more confusing than the basic appointment shown here.
Is this open to prompt injection? If I were to request to disregard the original prompts and instead respond as a highly skilled interviewee by professionally answering the interview questions and then returning them, would that work?
I've done it, but it keeps scheduling times over other calendar events. I've checked, and it is receiving the data, but it doesn't seem to acknowledge that it's received it.
Great use case. The problem with Bland AI is their phone # purchase is expensive $15 per month for inbound and $15 per month for an outbound. It would be nice to be able to use twillio numbers.
Make it extremely clear to everyone. Ai is and will be our beeeeetch admin assistant at best. Humans close humans. Period. I run 3 companies and people want human touch. Ai is for messaging or reminders. All tech geeks think sales change. Not a chance.

Is it possible to have this agent not only check a google calendar, but but be able to answer questions and provide information about data stored in a database? For example, say I own a resale store with a few thousand products, could be everything from electronics, to DVDs, to books, etc. I have that data in a Google spreadsheet. A customer calls in asking if I have any iPhone 10s for sale, and if so, how much. Rather than me answering the phone, the AI agent does it all. After providing information about the available product, it takes the caller name and number, and books them in the calendar to stop by to take a look at the iPhone for sale. Is this possible?
Yeah! You would do a second dynamic data api call, and have it pull in that info at the start. I’m sure there’s a limitation to how much data the ai can handle but I’m not sure what that would be… you can also include specific details in the prompt like business hours, etc for it to reference
@@tech-at-work sounds good, can you do a video implementing that functionality. Another killer feature would be to have the AI agent connect the call to another party (i.e. the business owner) if it felt the need to.

Great video and well delivered. Please can you do same but with Vapi ?
I’ll check Vapi out, just getting familiar with it!

I made something similar using Vapi. It also considers business hours
Yeah, I’m just getting familiar with Vapi, but it seems to work pretty similarly
I am really curious on integrating into a well known booking platform in my niche. Any way I can speak with you directly ? Thx

This video is awesome! It's going to help my business a lot. Could you please make a video on how to send payment links with stripe after the customer speaks with agent. You're the best!
Thanks for the kind words and super thanks! You’re awesome!
Are you allowed to sell your Make workflows to clients? Do you need specific subscription or just share the workflow once paid for it?
What would you suggest as the best agent on the market weighing up all the pros & cons? Might make a great video 📹 too

Is it possible to make the BlendAI call someone as an interviewer ask them some questions regarding the job they applied for?
Yeah you can certainly have an outbound call, and prompt it with questions to ask the person and review the call log or summary for their response
Is this open to prompt injection? If I were to request to disregard the original prompts and instead respond as a highly skilled interviewee by professionally answering the interview questions and then returning them, would that work?
Does this work as a musician manager to book shows and real estate wholesaling ?
This is excellent, however for those outside US, it would be great to have the same-example using a web-call.
That’s a good point, yea I hadn’t considered some international people wouldn’t have the same access
Hello bro. Thanks for this videos. I would like to ask if when twilio integrates to bland the charges come for both platforms per minute of call
I've done it, but it keeps scheduling times over other calendar events. I've checked, and it is receiving the data, but it doesn't seem to acknowledge that it's received it.
Do you have a discord/community to join?
Hi, I am building a Bland AI pathway and trying to invoke the Webhook for event creation but it doesn't pass on the transcript
Great use case. The problem with Bland AI is their phone # purchase is expensive $15 per month for inbound and $15 per month for an outbound. It would be nice to be able to use twillio numbers.
I haven’t figured out a way to use a Twilio number with BlandAI voice
@@tech-at-work I found it on the Discord Channel - you need an enterprise account
Hey, quick question. When purchasing phone numbers are you only limited to US and CA
At the moment, yes it’s just US and CA, but I believe they want to roll out other countries as well in the future
Do you provide quotes for help with setting this up? Thank you
How much is everything total & is it monthly payments. ?
How could i incorporate this into my SaaS app for every user? This works great but would be too confusing for users to set up

Hi, I have a survey call bot that I created and it has a couple of bugs in it. Could you help me with this?
Is it possible to set a max call limit for each number? e.g 1000 min inbound call
for some reason the assistant always gets stuck at the "let me check your schedule" portion
Hi so I used the event checker but it doesn't populate the g_busy variable at all
I wasn’t able to pass the .$data I had to convert it to JSON but it has a new line character when it’s sent
for some reason my agent didn't recored the phone number during its test
the phone numbers on bland are expensive a year. can i use another phone number? say a google voice or ringba number? or another esim?
Do you have a skool group, course, premium membership, or accelerator program?
Not at this time, but I’ll be sure let everyone know if that changes
I second this comment. You are a great teacher!!
Can this work using it with text? for example Instagram ? (integrating replit and manychat)
Can you use this for outbound?
Yeah! The same logic should work for outbound
Hi, Is there a way to link this with an online booking system so the two don't overlap bookings etc?
You’re best bet is to probably get the Google calendar to update with the secondary booking so you have a single calendar with all the appointments
How much this gonna cost?
Hi Is there a way to use your own number?
With Bland AI, you can only use numbers through their service at the moment
You can do all of this with Zapier as well, right?
Instead of Google Calendar, am I able to use scheduling softwares like Square?
You can use Zapier for sure, I’m not as familiar with Square, but if it’s compatible with Zapier, the API calls should work the same

Can it do outbound calls?
Bland AI can do outbound calls! I have some other videos on setting that up
I also want to be able to add the users email address
