How to Get a Dedicated Phone Number for Your Jotform AI Agent
Your Jotform AI agent can now answer customer calls just like a human receptionist - but available 24/7. In just minutes, you can purchase a professional phone number that connects callers directly to your AI assistant, handling inquiries, scheduling, and support without human intervention.
Why Add a Phone Number to Your AI Agent?
While chat interfaces and voice apps are great, many customers still prefer calling a business directly. A dedicated phone number for your Jotform AI agent bridges this gap, providing a familiar way for customers to access your automated services.
Unlike traditional IVR systems that frustrate callers with endless menus, your AI agent understands natural language. Customers can ask questions in their own words and get intelligent responses immediately, without waiting on hold or being transferred between departments.
Businesses using AI phone agents report 40% faster call resolution compared to traditional phone trees, while reducing staffing costs by handling routine inquiries automatically.
Selecting Your AI Agent
The first step is choosing which of your Jotform AI agents will receive the phone number. This is particularly important if you have multiple agents handling different functions like customer service, sales, or scheduling.
In the Jotform dashboard, navigate to your list of AI agents and select "Edit Agent" for the one you want to configure. For example, a travel planning agent would handle different queries than a technical support agent, so choose the one that matches your intended phone interactions.
Navigating to the Publish Section
Once inside your selected agent's builder interface, look for the "Publish" section in the left-hand menu. This is where Jotform consolidates all the ways you can deploy your AI agent to interact with users.
Among the publishing options like web chat and voice apps, you'll find the "Phone Agent" selection. This is your gateway to adding telephony capabilities to your AI assistant. The interface makes it simple to configure without needing any technical phone system knowledge.
Choosing Your Agent's Voice
Before purchasing your number, you'll want to select the perfect voice for your AI agent. Jotform offers multiple voice options including male, female, and mascot voices across different languages.
You can test each voice option to hear how they sound with your agent's typical responses. For a travel agent named "Charlie," you might prefer a friendly, upbeat tone, while a financial services agent might need a more professional cadence. The preview feature lets you experiment until you find the ideal match.
Pro Tip: Consider your target audience when selecting a voice. Older demographics often prefer slightly slower speech rates, while younger users may appreciate a more energetic tone.
Buying Your Phone Number
With your voice selected, click "Buy Number" to begin the purchase process. Jotform currently offers direct number purchases for the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia, with other countries available through Twilio integration.
The system will generate a available number for you. If you don't like the initial offering (perhaps you want a specific area code), you can regenerate until you find one that fits your business. Once satisfied, complete the checkout process to activate your number immediately.
Testing and Using Your New Number
Your new phone number is ready to use as soon as purchase completes. The Jotform interface includes a "Test Call" button so you can experience exactly what your callers will hear.
You can share this number on your website, business cards, and marketing materials just like any other business line. The AI agent will handle all incoming calls according to the flows and knowledge base you've configured, providing 24/7 availability without additional staffing costs.
