ClawdCall

Workflow Library

Phone-call workflows for AI agents and critical automations.

Turn a verified n8n, GitHub, or Datadog event into one contextual call to the person who can act—then return the answer to the originating workflow.

What This Library Solves

When should an AI workflow call a human?

Use a phone call when the automation has verified a high-consequence event, waiting creates material harm, and a named person can take a bounded action immediately. These recipes combine vendor-native triggers with fail-closed policy gates, one supervised self-test, and callback correlation. Routine errors, unverified alerts, unknown recipients, and duplicate events stay in normal text channels.

The Phone-Worthiness Gate

A call must earn the interruption.

  1. Waiting creates material damage or misses a real deadline.
  2. The recipient can take a useful action immediately.
  3. The workflow knows exactly who owns the decision.
  4. The workflow has removed routine noise and checked current state.
  5. Voice adds acknowledgment or a bounded response that text does not.
  6. A native alert is not already doing the same job well.

Guarded Workflow Recipes

Start with the event your team already trusts.

Each independent recipe includes the exact trigger, suppression rules, safe fields, test fixture, and result path. No native vendor partnership is implied.

Automated checks verify route data, downloadable assets, fail-closed policy gates, secret scans, and the production build. This is not a live vendor-account certification. Complete one supervised call to yourself before production use; live calls can consume calling minutes.

Build the Complete Path

From safe first call to production callback.

Start with the supervised guide, verify the request contract, and understand usage costs before a production event can spend calling minutes.

Workflow FAQ

Questions about AI agent phone-call workflows

What is an AI agent workflow phone call?

It is a controlled outbound call triggered by an automation after a policy gate confirms that a known human can act on an urgent event. The call collects an acknowledgment or bounded decision and returns that result to the originating workflow.

Which workflow platforms do these recipes cover?

The initial library covers n8n AI workflow failures, GitHub secret scanning alerts, and persistent Datadog monitor incidents. Each integration has its own trigger, suppression rules, downloadable fixture, callback guidance, and supervised test path.

Can these workflows call any phone number automatically?

No. The recipes require a verified ClawdCall account, a pre-authorized recipient resolved from trusted configuration, a material event, and a fresh idempotency key. Start with your own number and synthetic data before enabling a production trigger.

How does the call result return to the workflow?

Store the vendor event ID and returned ClawdCall call ID before calling. Then authenticate the completion callback or retrieve the transcript, validate a bounded response, and write the outcome back exactly once using the stored idempotency key.

Start Safely

Verify the full path with one call to yourself.

Use synthetic data, inspect the payload, set yourself as the only recipient, and explicitly approve the first call. Live calls can consume calling minutes.
