Imagine you want to dynamically extract a user's email address from your CRM and then use that email to populate a booking appointment calendar. This requires chaining two actions together.
Steps to Set It Up
- Create Two Custom Actions
Follow this guide to create your custom actions: How to Create a Custom Action- Action 1: Extract the user's email from your CRM
- Action 2: Book an appointment using the extracted email
- Attach Both Actions to the Call Flow
Assign both actions to the "During Call" phase in your call flow.

- Adjust the Prompt Logic
Ensure your AI assistant knows:- Which action to trigger first (in this case, the email extraction)
- What data to pass from the first action to the second (e.g., the extracted email address)
