## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation
No documented pitfalls for this recipe. Apply your own review before going live.

## Reference implementation
https://n8n.io/workflows/8972 (workflow template)
Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it;
if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools.

## Process requirements
1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and
   what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume.
2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack.
3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each.
4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data.
5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different Voice & Telephony than Vapi?

Yes. Vapi is only the example voice & telephony in this recipe. The same flow works with Aloware, ElevenLabs, GoToWebinar and Plivo. Swap the voice & telephony connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.

Want this running in your business?

This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.

Who it's for

Built for founders and execs who need customer support handled without hiring for it.

Ops-IT teams triaging their own internal requests get the same pattern, different queue.
