Integrations & Tool Calling Ability to connect agents to real systems through native integrations, OAuth-authenticated actions, custom tools, APIs, webhooks, or MCP-compatible tools. |
||
|
GoodcallIntegrations & Tool Calling The Boulevard integration lets the agent create, cancel and reschedule appointments, authenticated with the customer's Boulevard API key and app secret. A customer lookup reads the caller's record from the customer's Google Sheet or CRM in real time through Zapier. Call Complete and Flow Complete triggers send call and form data to any Zapier connected app. The Enterprise offering adds prebuilt connections to Microsoft Teams, Genesys and HubSpot.

SamedayIntegrations & Tool Calling The agents act inside field service systems. They schedule appointments into ServiceTitan, automate bookings, reminders and follow ups in Jobber, create subscriptions, find appointments and dispatch technicians in FieldRoutes, and update Service Fusion. AI CSRs book straight into field service software and send customers text updates. Sameday also works with Housecall Pro, JobNimbus and AccuLynx and with lead sources such as Google Local Services, Thumbtack and Angi.

Workflow Orchestration Ability to sequence, branch, retry, route, and combine deterministic workflow nodes with autonomous agent steps. |
||
|
GoodcallWorkflow Orchestration The customer sets up branching across the steps of a call. Logic flows add yes or no and multiple choice questions, each answer with its own actions, and attach to the greeting or to any skill. Calls can be transferred to staff. Plans allow 1, 3 or 25 logic flows. Goodcall names no retry or error path.

|
SamedayWorkflow Orchestration The customer picks a campaign play and an audience, and each campaign stops when someone books or opts out. Handoffs follow rules set on intent, keywords, job value or time of day. Sameday has no flow builder by design and promises 'no setup wizards, no flowcharts', so the control flow lives inside its packaged plays and the customer does not build one.

GoodcallMemory & State Persistence The agent keeps conversation state within a call.

SamedayMemory & State Persistence The agent keeps state within a call, and customer history lives in the field service system.
