Automation Works Best When Channels Work Together
Modern businesses don’t communicate on just one channel anymore. Customers call, text, expect callbacks, automated reminders, AI assistance, and real-time updates — often all within the same journey. The challenge isn’t adding more channels; it’s orchestrating them intelligently.
That’s where multi-channel automation becomes a game-changer.
With Opentact APIs, businesses and developers can unify voice, SMS, SIP, call tracking, media handling, and AI-driven workflows into a single automated system that reacts in real time and scales effortlessly.
Instead of fragmented tools and disconnected logic, Opentact gives you one automation engine to rule them all.
1️⃣ What Is Multi-Channel Automation?
Multi-channel automation means designing workflows where different communication channels work together automatically, without manual intervention.
A single workflow can involve:
An inbound call
An automated voice response
An API-triggered database lookup
An SMS follow-up
A call transfer or callback
A CRM update
An AI-powered response
Opentact APIs let you build these workflows end-to-end, using code instead of complex telecom infrastructure.
2️⃣ Why Opentact APIs Are Built for Automation-First Teams
Opentact isn’t just “API-enabled” — it’s API-native.
That means:
Every action can be automated
Every event is accessible programmatically
Every channel is connected
Through REST APIs and real-time WebSockets, developers can:
Control inbound and outbound calls
Send and receive SMS
Trigger voice workflows
Capture call events instantly
Fetch recordings and analytics
Automate routing decisions
Connect external systems seamlessly
This makes Opentact ideal for SaaS platforms, startups, enterprises, agencies, and developers building communication-heavy products.
3️⃣ Combine Voice and SMS into One Automated Flow
One of the most powerful aspects of Opentact APIs is how easily voice and SMS work together.
Examples:
Missed call → automatic SMS follow-up
Appointment booked via call → SMS confirmation
Payment reminder voice call → SMS receipt
Support call → SMS ticket reference
AI voice assistant → SMS summary
All of this happens automatically through API logic — no human intervention required.
4️⃣ Event-Driven Automation with Real-Time WebSockets
Traditional telecom platforms rely on polling or delayed logs. Opentact works in real time.
With WebSocket events, you can instantly react to:
Call answered
Call ended
DTMF input
ASR results
Recording availability
Routing outcomes
Delivery status
This enables highly responsive workflows such as:
AI-driven conversations
Dynamic call routing
Live dashboards
Real-time notifications
Immediate failover handling
Your automation reacts the moment something happens — not minutes later.
5️⃣ Power AI-Driven Multi-Channel Experiences
Opentact APIs are AI-ready by design.
Developers can easily integrate:
ChatGPT
NLP engines
Custom ML models
Common AI-powered workflows include:
Voice AI that understands intent
