How do I use Zapier with an AI voice agent?
You use Zapier with an AI voice agent by building two Zaps: one that sends each new lead from your form, ad or CRM to the agent's webhook, and one that catches the post-call webhook and writes the result where your team works. Outpero calls within 30 seconds of the first Zap firing, with no code needed.
Zap 1: new lead to call
- 01Trigger: the app where leads arrive, such as Facebook Lead Ads, a new Google Sheets row, Typeform, Zoho CRM or HubSpot.
- 02Formatter step: clean the phone number to one format with +91, and trim names.
- 03Optional filter: continue only if the lead is in your service area or has a valid mobile number.
- 04Action: Webhooks by Zapier, POST, to the AI employee's lead URL, with name, phone and any context fields as JSON.
- 05Test with a real entry using your own number and confirm the call arrives.
Zap 2: call result to your tools
- 01Trigger: Webhooks by Zapier, Catch Hook. Paste its URL into Outpero as the result webhook.
- 02Choose whether Outpero sends every call, completed calls only or voicemail only.
- 03Make one real call so Zapier sees the payload: outcome, summary, sentiment, recording, transcript and custom fields.
- 04Actions: add a Google Sheets row, update the CRM record, or send an email, Slack or WhatsApp alert when the outcome is qualified.
Plan and cost notes
Zapier bills by tasks, so estimate how many action steps each lead uses across both Zaps and compare that with your monthly lead volume before picking a plan. Instant triggers fire within seconds; polling triggers can check only every few minutes or longer depending on the plan, which matters for speed to lead.
Name your Zaps clearly, such as 'Meta form A to Outpero' and 'Outpero results to Sheets', and turn on Zapier's error notifications. A silent failure means leads that never get a call.
When to choose something else
- —Make is often cheaper at high volume and handles complex branching well.
- —A direct webhook from your CRM or website removes the middle layer entirely if the source can send the right fields.
- —A CSV upload is simpler for a one-time list; Zapier is for leads that keep arriving.

Follow-up questions
Does Outpero need a dedicated Zapier app?
+
No. Outpero works with Zapier through webhooks: Webhooks by Zapier posts leads to the agent and catches call results. That covers the same ground a branded app would, with the advantage that you control every field sent and received. The same pattern works with Make, Pabbly Connect or any tool that can send and receive webhooks.
