Build Your First Workflow
This is the fastest path from signup to a working voice agent.
- Open Inbound Workflows in the sidebar, then click Create.
- You land in Create Workflow. Start on the Configuration tab and set the workflow’s name, description, primary language, call timezone, and voice.
- Switch to the Builder tab:
- Either write your own instructions in the prompt box (up to 10,000 characters), or click Prompt Library to start from a template, or click Generate with AI and describe what you want in a sentence or two — MIA turns that into a full structured prompt you can edit.
- Tip shown right in the editor: “Use variables like
${firstName}or${email}” — you can reference captured properties (see below) directly in your prompt text.
- Switch to the Properties tab and define what information the agent should capture during the call — e.g. click Add example fields to seed
callerName,phoneNumber,email, andreservationId, or add your own (each property is typed asstring,number, orboolean). - Switch to the Integration tab and add at least one action to run after the call — for example, an Email action that sends you a call summary using the properties you just captured (see Follow-up for the full list of action types).
- Back at the top of Create Workflow, click Deploy to Phone to bind the workflow to one of your available phone numbers — or Deploy to Web to get an embeddable widget script for your website.
- Use the Call Now button to make a live test call before you rely on it for real customers.
Important: this is a prototype, not a production-ready agent.
From here:
- Writing the Prompt covers what actually belongs in a production prompt, section by section.
- Create Workflow covers every tab and dialog in depth.
- Use Cases walks through complete, realistic setups (including connecting your own systems via integrations).
- Test covers how to test properly before you rely on this agent for real customers.
