FAQ

Questions about Call Created.

How does the Call Created trigger work in Aircall?

Fires the moment Aircall creates a call record — typically at call answer or right after voicemail drop. Payload includes the direction (inbound/outbound), the from/to numbers, the assigned user, and the associated contact if Aircall matched the number. The hook for "log every inbound call to the CRM" sync workflows.

Is the Call Created trigger real-time?

Yes. Call Created uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Aircall.

What data does Call Created return?

The full event payload from Aircall. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.

Can I filter Call Created so only some events start a workflow?

Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.

Do I need Aircall admin permissions to use Call Created?

For most Aircall accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Aircall plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Aircall's docs if the trigger fails to register.
