Get started in three steps

After completing your purchase, go to the console:

Step 1: Preparation (10 minutes)

Understand business skills and outbound scenarios

Raascall uses a three-tier structure: business skill → outbound scenario → outbound task. A business skill defines the business capabilities that a digital worker can perform (such as customer follow-up calls and renewal reminders). An outbound scenario is the specific script configuration under a skill. An outbound task is the unit that actually executes the outbound calls.

Common scenario types:

Scenario type

Typical applications

Applicable business

Customer follow-up

Cosmetics follow-up, satisfaction surveys

Understand customer feedback, collect improvement suggestions

Renewal reminder

Membership renewal, plan expiration notifications

Remind about expiration, guide renewal

Sales recommendation

AI sales, new product recommendations, event invitations

Introduce products, screen high-intent customers

Key points:

  • Each business skill can contain multiple outbound scenarios

  • Scenarios support configuring opening statements, Q&A, conversation summaries, and more

  • Before publishing, you can verify the results through text debugging or voice debugging
