AUTOMATION PLAYBOOK

On-call no-ACK escalation

If on-call does not ACK SMS in 5 minutes, the playbook calls the next number, the Telegram group, and logs the event — urgent jobs do not vanish.

Urgent jobs don't die when the first tech is silent.

Trigger

No on-call SMS ACK in 5 min

Automated flow

  1. 1 Second number on list
  2. 2 Service Telegram group
  3. 3 Webhook log

Example scenario

First tech silent. After 5 min SMS to backup and Telegram alert. Owner sees response time in the weekly report.

After the call: On-call no-ACK escalation

One missed flood alert is an expensive claim. Escalation queue is operational insurance, not a gimmick.

When it runs

The playbook starts automatically when Coldbot tags a call or event as: “No on-call SMS ACK in 5 min”. You can narrow filters (location, channel, business hours) without changing the voice script.

What happens automatically

Each step runs in sequence (or in parallel where noted). No copy-paste between voice AI, SMS gateway, and CRM.

What you configure

Tunable during onboarding — copy, thresholds, and channel priority:

Recommended integrations

Native connectors or Zapier/Make/webhooks. Status “coming soon” means we enable it on request during rollout.

Works with voice templates

Deploy these agent scripts together with the playbook — same disposition tags power both sides:

Onboarding checklist

We configure this playbook during Coldbot setup — usually in one working session:

Zapier / Make recipe

We export a starter automation: Coldbot webhook → your stack. Field mapping is done in onboarding.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a developer?

Not for standard stacks (SMSAPI, Google Calendar, HubSpot, Slack). Custom webhooks usually need about one hour of IT time.

Can we change copy and timing?

Yes — triggers, filters, SMS templates, and quiet hours are fully configurable in the dashboard or with our team.

Is this included in setup?

One playbook is configured during onboarding; additional playbooks are added per package or integration bundle.

How do we test before go-live?

Sandbox numbers, test calls, and a dry-run checklist — we do not enable production SMS until you approve samples.

How many escalation levels?

Default up to 3 numbers + Telegram channel; configurable.
