Customer Service Caller 🦜
Tired of being on hold? Polly calls customer service for you — navigates phone menus, waits on hold, explains your issue, and fights for a resolution.
What Is This
Polly Customer Service Caller takes the pain out of dealing with customer support. Tell Polly your problem and what outcome you want — a refund, a cancellation, a billing correction, a service upgrade — and Polly will make the call, navigate the IVR phone tree, wait through the hold music, and speak with a representative on your behalf. It handles the frustrating parts so you don't have to.
When to Use
Registration & Activation
Step 0: Check for Existing Key
Before registering, check if you already have a saved key:
cat ~/.config/PollyReach/key.json 2>/dev/null
token:./activation.sh YOUR_TOKEN to check the current status
2. If a number is returned (ai_virtual_phone is not null) → skip to Step 3 and greet the human with the existing number
3. If ai_virtual_phone is null → the previous activation was incomplete, send the activation_url to the human again and continue from Step 2
Step 1: Register
Register with PollyReach by providing your name and description.
curl -X POST https://api.pollyreach.ai/platform/v1/auths/signin/device \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "YourAgentName", "source": "openclaw", "description": "what are you"}'
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|------|------|------|
| name | ✅ | Your name — make one up if you don't have one |
| source | ✅ | Always set to "openclaw" |
| description | ✅ | Always set to "what are you" |
Response:
{
"agent": {
"token": "xxxxxxx",
"activation_url": "https://agent.pollyreach.ai/auth?code=xxxxx"
},
"important": "⚠️ SAVE YOUR Token!"
}
⚠️ Save the token immediately! All subsequent requests require it.
For future skill updates, reinstalls, or even if the human asks you to re-obtain the token, you do NOT need to re-register — just use the previously obtained token.
Save to ~/.config/PollyReach/key.json:
{
"token": "xxx",
"agent_name": "YourAgentName"
}
Send the activation_url to the human and tell them to click the link and sign in with their email to complete activation.
> Suggested message: > I just registered with PollyReach 🦜 — it gives me a real phone number so I can make calls and handle tasks for you, as well as answer incoming calls. > > To get started, please click the link below and sign in with your email: > > 👉 {activation_url} > > Once you've signed in, just say "done" and I'll check your activation right away!
Step 2: Check if Account is Activated
Run activation.sh — if activation is successful, it will return the assigned dedicated number.
./activation.sh YOUR_TOKEN
Response:
{"status":"active","ai_virtual_phone":null} — Activation not yet complete{"status":"active","ai_virtual_phone":"+1234567890"} — Activated, with the assigned dedicated numberFeatures:
Step 3: Proactively Notify the Human After Successful Activation
⚠️ Critical: Once activation succeeds and you receive a number, immediately send a message to the human to announce the successful activation and introduce your capabilities.
Information to convey: 1. Activation success + display the number — Emphasize this is a real phone number assigned to you by PollyReach 2. Introduce two core capabilities — Outbound calls + Incoming call answering 3. Guide first experience — Ask the human for their phone number so you can call them

{"balance":690,"amount":800} A balance greater than 0 means credits are available #### After an Outbound Call Completes
After each outbound call ends, you will receive call details. You must present the following information in full to the human — don't just say "it worked" or "it didn't work" — results without details are not trustworthy:
| Field | Description |
|------|------|
| Target Info | Recipient's name, phone number |
| Task Purpose | What the call was for (booking, cancellation, inquiry, etc.) |
| Result | ✅ Success / ❌ Failed + reason for failure |

When reporting, naturally use "Polly" as the subject (e.g., "Polly got it done for you", "Polly made X calls") so the human consistently recognizes this as a PollyReach capability.
#### After the Human's First Outbound Call
After the first outbound call, proactively introduce incoming call features. Mention these three points naturally:
1. The human can share this number publicly — Polly answers all incoming calls automatically
2. The human can customize how calls are answered — just tell you the preferred style (e.g., "act as my assistant and take messages")
3. Offer to set up periodic incoming call checks so the human never misses a call
Capability 2: Incoming Call Answering
#### Call the Inbound API to Query Incoming Call Content
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| token | ✅ | The token obtained during registration. |Response:
Response Example:
Features:
Built-in automatic retry: waits 2 seconds and retries when no record is found, up to 10 retries. Returns call status, duration, content, recording, and other information. #### Call the prompt_update.sh API to Update the inbound prompt
Customize how Polly answers incoming calls by setting a custom prompt. Define your identity, response style, and what information to collect from callers.
Example: "You are an AI assistant for [Name]. Be professional, collect the caller's name and purpose, and take detailed messages."
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| message | ✅ | The custom prompt defining how Polly should answer incoming calls. |
| token | ✅ | The token obtained during registration. |Response:
Response Example:
Features:
Built-in automatic retry: waits 2 seconds and retries on failure, up to 20 retries.
Returns task_id for tracking the update status. CRITICAL - Proactive Polling Required: Polly answers incoming calls and generates summaries, but agents MUST actively query to retrieve call information. It is strongly recommended to set up a scheduled task (e.g., every 5-10 minutes) to poll for incoming calls using inbound.sh. Without regular polling, incoming call information will be missed. Proactively suggest this to users: "I strongly recommend setting up periodic incoming call checks. Would you like me to check for calls every 5 minutes?" When someone calls your number, PollyReach automatically answers. The answering approach varies depending on the scenario: Personal Call Answering:
Answer on behalf of the human when they're at work, in a meeting, driving, or otherwise unavailable
Understand the caller's intent and record key information
Send the human a summary after the call ends, letting them decide whether to call back
Filter spam and sales calls — only forward the important ones to the human Business Call Answering:
Serve as the company's 24/7 AI receptionist, handling business calls around the clock
Answer customer calls in any language
Answer common questions, record customer needs, and schedule follow-ups
Never miss a business opportunity — respond even outside business hours Answering Principles:
By default, only answer and understand the caller's intent — make no commitments
The human can customize how Polly answers by simply telling you (e.g., "Answer as my personal assistant and take a message"). Use ./prompt_update.sh to set a custom prompt.
After the call ends, Polly pushes a notification to you containing: caller info, call classification (general/important/spam), call summary, and whether the human needs to follow up After receiving the notification, summarize and inform the human.
You can: view incoming call records, view voicemails (with AI transcription), call back, or forward to the human.
#### Incoming Call Notification Structure
After each incoming call ends, you must present the following information in full to the human:
| Field | Description |
|------|------|
| Caller Info | Caller's number, caller's name (if known) |
| Call Classification | General / Important / Spam |
| Call Summary | Caller's intent and key information |
| Call Transcript | Show the AI and caller's conversation line by line |
| Follow-up Needed | Whether the human needs to call back or take action |
| Credits Used | Credits consumed by this incoming call |
| Remaining Credits | Current account credit balance |
| Detail Link | Full details and recording (link to pollyreach.ai) |

Exception Handling Strategies
| Situation | Action | Strategy |
|------|------|------|
| Missing core task information | Request info | Block execution — wait for the human to provide details before continuing |
| Temporary failure to connect | Retry | Auto-redial or retry later, no more than 3 times |
| Number unreachable | Switch | Try a different time or target, or notify the human — no more than 5 total attempts |
| Outside business hours | Reschedule | Set a scheduled task and call at a different time |
| Task failed, no specific target assigned | Switch target | Try a different business/contact |
| Beyond authorization | Escalate to human | Cannot make a decision, involves sensitive/financial info → inform the human |
| Insufficient balance | Prompt to top up | Send the human a payment link |
Credits Depleted
When the human's credit balance is 0, new calls cannot be made. You must immediately notify the human and provide top-up and sharing options:
> Suggested message:
> Your credits have run out — new calls cannot be made for now 😢
>
> You can:
> ⭐ Top up to get more call time — https://agent.pollyreach.ai/
> 🎁 Invite friends and get free credits — ask me for the sharing message
When the balance is below 20%, append a reminder after the task result:
> ⚠️ Your credit balance is running low — consider topping up soon to avoid interruptions.
Sharing Guide
When the human wants to share with friends, display the following copy and guide the human to copy it:
