Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the agent schedule tools to read and write availability in real time. When a lead comes in, the agent first calls the get agent schedule action to verify who is online. If your team uses an external calendar, Ceven can map those calendar events to Callingly availability by calling the update agent schedule action. This ensures that leads are only routed to agents who are actually at their desks. If an agent goes on break, a simple prompt to Ceven can deactivate them for a set window, which prevents the system from attempting to route an outbound call to an unavailable user.
Yes. Ceven can orchestrate the entire onboarding flow. It starts by using the create agent action to add the person to the system. Once created, the agent uses create team or update team users to place that new hire into the correct sales pod. Finally, it can set the default capacity and priority via the update team agent settings tool. This means you can connect your HR software to Ceven, and as soon as a new sales rep is hired, they are fully configured in Callingly with the correct schedule and team permissions without any manual data entry.
Ceven manages this through the webhook system. By using the create webhook action, Ceven tells Callingly to send a notification the moment a call status changes to completed. When that event hits the Ceven listener, the agent immediately pulls the call details using the get call action. It then analyzes the call duration and metadata to determine if the lead was reached. If the call was successful, it updates your CRM. If it was a voicemail, Ceven can trigger a follow up text or schedule a new outbound call attempt for later.
Ceven is bound by the API rate limits set by Callingly. One specific quirk to note is that Callingly limits the frequency of outbound call triggers per minute to prevent spam behavior. If you attempt to push a massive list of a thousand leads at once, Callingly may return a rate limit error. To handle this, Ceven implements a queuing system that drips leads into the system at a pace that stays within the Callingly API thresholds. This ensures that your account remains in good standing while still maintaining a fast response time for every individual lead.
Absolutely. For agencies managing multiple brands, Ceven uses the list clients and activate client account actions to switch context. The agent can be told to run a specific workflow for client A and then a different one for client B. It tracks the client ID for every request, ensuring that leads and agents are never mixed up between different accounts. You can build a single dashboard in Ceven that monitors the lead response rates across all your Callingly clients by aggregating data from the list calls action across all active client IDs.
Ceven uses the update team agent settings tool to dynamically shift priority. During a high volume lead surge, you can tell Ceven to prioritize your most experienced closers. The agent will iterate through the list team users and increase the priority score for senior agents while lowering it for trainees. This ensures that the most valuable leads are routed to the people most likely to close them. Once the volume returns to normal, Ceven can reset these settings to a round robin distribution to ensure all agents get a fair share of leads.
Yes, though it is a manual trigger process. You can ask Ceven to list leads based on a specific date range from several months ago. Once the agent retrieves the list, it can filter for leads that never converted or were marked as dead. While Callingly is primarily for immediate response, using Ceven to audit these lists helps you understand your conversion gaps. You can then export this data to a spreadsheet or move it to a long term storage system before removing the records to keep your Callingly environment clean and performant.
Yes. If an agent calls out sick, you can tell Ceven to remove them from all active teams. The agent uses the remove team agent action to instantly stop that person from receiving leads. Simultaneously, Ceven can use update team users to redistribute that agent's lead load to other available team members. This happens in seconds, meaning your lead response time does not suffer just because of a staffing change. The agent can then send a notification to the rest of the team letting them know they will see an increase in call volume for the day.
