Airtable to FreJun: Auto Call, Update Status, and Slack Alert

Airtable to FreJun: Auto Call, Update Status, and Slack Alert

Introduction

Turn “Call Now” into action: place the call, capture the outcome, update your record, and alert your team — all automatically. ✅

Trigger Event

When a record is created or updated in your Airtable table and the record indicates Call Action = “Call Now” while Call Status is not “Completed,” this workflow starts.

Actions

  • The flow immediately places an outbound call through FreJun to the phone number on the Airtable record, using the contact’s name for context.
  • It waits a few minutes to allow the call to complete.
  • Then it fetches the latest call details from FreJun for that phone number.
  • If the call was answered:
    • A concise Slack message is sent to your chosen channel with lead details, call time, and the recording link (when available).
    • The Airtable record is updated: Call Status is set to “Completed,” Last Call Date is saved, the FreJun Call ID is stored, and “Slack Notified” is marked true.
  • If the call wasn’t answered:
    • The Airtable record is updated with Call Status = “Missed” and the Last Call Date, so your team can plan the next follow‑up.

Benefits

  • Save time by auto‑dialing from Airtable when a lead is marked “Call Now.”
  • Keep data accurate: call outcomes and dates are stored instantly.
  • Faster team response with a Slack summary right after the call.
  • Fewer manual steps and fewer missed updates.
  • Clear audit trail with call ID and recording link where available.
