Help / Train Scarlett / Set up call-handling rules with scenarios

Who this is for

You want Scarlett to handle different calls differently — book a standard job, take a callback for a complaint, politely decline a sales call. Each scenario is a rule: if the call looks like X, do Y. Seven built-in scenarios cover the common cases; you edit those or add your own.

Time: 10 minutes. You'll need: to be the owner.

Before you start

Steps

The Scenarios list with rows for the seven built-in scenarios, each with an on/off toggle, a Built-in badge, an action badge and its trigger text.
Rules of the form: if the call looks like X, do Y.

1. Review the built-in scenarios

On Train Scarlett → Scenarios you'll find seven built-ins — emergency call-out, quote request, standard booking, complaint, out-of-area, marketing, and transfer to human. Each shows a trigger and an action.

2. Understand the five actions

ActionWhat Scarlett does
Book directlyPuts the job in the calendar
Send SMS linkTexts the caller a link
Schedule callbackLogs that you need to ring back
Politely declineTurns the caller away
Transfer to userFlags the call as one that wanted a human

3. Edit a rule or add your own

Open a scenario to change its name, when it fires, what Scarlett does or says, and its action. Press Custom scenario to add a new rule for the way you actually run jobs. You can disable a built-in but not delete it.

4. Mind the order

Scarlett takes the first scenario that matches, top to bottom — so put the more specific rules above the general ones.

Verify it worked

Your scenarios show as live (the toggle on), and under Test agent a call that matches a rule is handled the way you set it.

Troubleshooting

Two rules could match the same call. She uses the first match from the top. Reorder so the one you want wins.

A "transfer to human" scenario didn't put anyone through. Transfers also need a forwarding destination set up — see Forward calls to your team. With none, the transfer scenario just takes a message.
