[Explore Guidelines](https://www.bolddesk.com/industries/call-center/dos-and-donts) - ### Best Practices - ### Common Mistakes - ### Impact ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is an AI agent for call center support? An AI agent for call center support is software that resolves routine customer requests, such as an order status, a billing question or an appointment change, instead of only answering questions about them. In BoldDesk it works on chat, email, WhatsApp and social channels, reads the account in your systems through API actions or MCP and takes the action there, which keeps routine requests out of your phone queues. ### Does BoldDesk’s AI agent answer phone calls? No. Calls reach BoldDesk through your telephony integration, such as Aircall, Ringover, Ozonetel, Exotel, Twilio or KrispCall, and are logged as tickets your agents handle. On those ticketed calls the AI copilot summarizes the history and suggests replies and next steps, while the AI agent resolves requests on chat, email, WhatsApp and social channels. ### Can BoldDesk turn calls into tickets automatically? Yes. With a native telephony integration, each inbound, outbound or missed call creates a ticket with the call log and recording, and the call’s queue, priority and available agent route it. A missed call arrives with its voicemail transcription so the callback starts with the context. ### Does BoldDesk connect to our CRM or billing system? Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Stripe are native integrations. A CRM or billing system without one connects to the AI agent as API actions, or as an MCP server that exposes its tools, limited to the accounts and actions you allow. ### How do I stop the AI agent from issuing a credit or refund on its own? Mark the credit or refund action as approval-required, or set a rule such as credits over $40 needing the Call Center Supervisor. The AI agent prepares the action, waits for the named approver, then runs it, and every step is saved in its trace for QA. ### When does the AI agent hand a customer to a call center agent? When a customer asks for a person, is upset or has called about the same issue several times, when a case needs a decision outside your rules, or when its confidence is low, the AI agent passes the conversation to an agent with the history and the steps it took, so nobody repeats the story. ### How do SLA timers and escalations work for call center tickets? SLAs set response and resolution targets per queue, and escalation rules alert or reassign a ticket when a timer passes the share of its target you set, such as 70 percent, or when sentiment turns negative. The ticket goes to a supervisor before the target is missed. ### How is BoldDesk priced for a call center? Plans start at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits and unlimited human agents, so every queue, shift and site can add agents without seat fees. There are no per-resolution fees, and extra AI credits are $40 per 1,000.
