Pick what is happening
The three checks worth doing first
Whatever the symptom, these three find the cause surprisingly often, and all three take under a minute.- Is the number attached to the agent you think it is? Check the agent’s Deployment tab. Moving numbers between agents is the most common source of confusion.
- Are you on a paid plan? The Free plan builds and tests but does not take real calls, and outbound calling and email need paid plans too. See Plans.
- Read the call. Open it in your call history. What your agent heard is often not what the caller said, and that changes the diagnosis entirely.
Before you contact support
Have one specific example ready. A single real call tells us more than a description of the pattern, because the call record holds the reason it ended. Send:- The date and time of the call, and the numbers involved.
- What you expected to happen, and what happened instead.
- Whether it happens every time or occasionally.
- Anything you changed just before it started.
FAQ
My agent is not answering calls, what do I check first?
My agent is not answering calls, what do I check first?
Whether the number is attached to that agent in its Deployment tab, and whether you are on a paid
plan. Then ring the Brilo number directly: if it answers, the problem is forwarding from your business
number rather than the agent.
How do I report a problem to support?
How do I report a problem to support?
Email support@brilo.ai with one specific call: its date and time, the numbers
involved, what you expected, and what happened. One real example is worth more than a description of
the pattern.
What information should I include?
What information should I include?
The call’s date, time, and numbers, what you expected instead, whether it is every call or occasional,
and anything you changed just before it started. That last one solves a surprising share of cases on its
own.
Can I see why a particular call went wrong?
Can I see why a particular call went wrong?
Yes. Open the call in your history and read the written record alongside the recording. It shows what
your agent heard, what it said, and what it did, which is usually enough to tell a setup problem from a
knowledge problem.
Why does my agent work in tests but not for real callers?
Why does my agent work in tests but not for real callers?
Because your Brilo number works and your business number is not forwarding to it. That is a setting at
your phone provider rather than in Brilo. See
Use your existing number.
Is something wrong with Brilo, or with my setup?
Is something wrong with Brilo, or with my setup?
If one call misbehaved and the rest are fine, it is almost always the setup or the conversation rather
than the platform. If every call has failed since a specific moment, tell support when it started, since
that timing is the most useful clue you can give.
