Make.com Voice Agents: Integrate AI Phone Systems Into Your Scenarios
Voice AI agents in Make.com enable automated phone calls, WhatsApp voice messages, and AI-powered call handling — all connected to your CRM and business tools. Using Make.com with Vapi, Twilio, and ElevenLabs, you can build voice automations that qualify leads, remind customers, and provide 24/7 phone support.
Voice AI Stack with Make.com
Building voice agents in Make.com:

- ElevenLabs — Natural-sounding TTS voices
- Claude API — AI brain for voice agent reasoning

Vapi Webhook Integration
Vapi sends webhook events that Make.com processes:
Set up in Vapi:
- Assistant settings → Server URL → your Make.com webhook URL
Events Make.com receives:
call.started— new inbound callcall.ended— call completed (with transcript + summary)tool_calls— agent wants to execute a tool (e.g., lookup customer, book meeting)hang— call detected hang state
Make.com Webhook trigger:
- Add Webhook module to your Scenario
- Copy the webhook URL
- Paste into Vapi's server URL setting
Post-Call Workflow
The most common Vapi + Make.com integration: process call results after the call ends.
Scenario: Post-call CRM update
- Webhook trigger: Receive
call.endedevent from Vapi - Filter: Only process if
status = "ended"(not cancelled, failed, etc.) - Tools → Parse JSON: Extract transcript, summary, call duration, caller number
- HTTP (Claude): Analyse call
- Parse JSON
- Router: Branch by outcome
- interested → HubSpot: create deal + Slack alert to sales rep - callback_requested → HubSpot: create follow-up task + schedule callback - voicemail → Airtable: log + schedule retry in 24h - not_interested → HubSpot: update contact status
- HubSpot: Log call activity with transcript and AI summary
Outbound Call Campaign
Scenario: Launch outbound campaign
- Trigger: Airtable new row (campaign launch row added)
- Airtable: Get all leads in the campaign list
- Iterator: For each lead
- HTTP (Vapi API): Initiate outbound call
- Wait: 5 minutes before next call (rate limiting)
- Airtable: Log call initiated + Vapi call ID for tracking
Tool Call Handling
When a Vapi voice agent needs real-time data (e.g., check availability, look up order status), Make.com handles the tool call:
Vapi tool call → Make.com → external system → return to Vapi
- Webhook: Receive
tool_callsevent from Vapi - Router: Switch on function name
- check_availability → Calendly API: get open slots - lookup_order → Database: query order status - book_appointment → Calendly API: book + HubSpot: create deal
- HTTP (Vapi): Return tool result
This happens in under 1 second — the voice agent waits for the response.
Appointment Reminder Calls
Automated voice reminders:
- Schedule: Hourly
- Airtable: Find appointments in next 24 hours with no reminder sent
- Iterator: For each appointment
- HTTP (Vapi): Initiate reminder call with custom script
- Vapi webhook → separate Scenario: Handle response (1 = confirm, 2 = reschedule)
- Airtable: Update appointment status
- Calendar: Confirm or cancel based on response
SMS Fallback for Missed Calls
If the voice agent can't reach someone:
- Vapi webhook: Call ended with outcome = voicemail or no answer
- Twilio: Send SMS follow-up
- Make.com (SMS reply webhook): Process reply
- If YES: schedule callback; if no reply in 24h: add to lower-priority list
