Implementation and migration
Step 1
Scope the pilot
Pick one outbound workflow — EMI reminder, lead follow-up, or appointment confirmation — and define success metrics before you scale.
Step 2
Connect lists and CRM

Step 3
Configure TRAI / DLT
Register templates and sender headers for compliant outbound in India. SvaraCall guides DLT setup during onboarding.
Step 4
Migrate from Exotel
Keep Exotel numbers and trunks if desired, point outbound AI traffic to SvaraCall, port campaign scripts and contact lists, register or reuse DLT templates, and validate call quality on pilot routes before full traffic shift.
Step 5
Run a live pilot
Place test calls to your own number in Telugu, Hindi, or English. Tune scripts from real transcripts before full rollout.
Step 6
Scale with governance
Add concurrency, opt-out handling, and escalation rules. Review weekly containment and conversion from the dashboard.
