Hear about it when a watched word comes up.

Add words like cancel, refund or speak to a lawyer. When a call recording or voicemail transcript mentions one, your list gets an email and your webhook fires.

  • Up to 30 words or phrases to watch, sent to up to 10 addresses.
  • Email and webhook alerts, so your CRM or chat channel hears it too.
  • Matched on our own servers. Only the alert leaves them.

    • Front-door controllers remember every company's route, encryption mode and call-rate cap for 24 hours
    • Voice servers keep their last good directory and dialplan on disk for 24 hours
    • Call records for calls that end during an outage are kept and re-sent when management is back
    • Proven in a live test that blocked management for more than three minutes while calls kept connecting
  2. Platform

    A live standby that takes over with one command

    A live replica of the management platform takes over with one command, and the old server is fenced so it cannot split the system.

    • A standby server streams a copy of the database and shares one address with the active server
    • One command switches over; the old server is fenced so it cannot become a second primary
    • In a test on 2026-09-25, a switchover each way took about twenty seconds with nothing lost, and test calls kept connecting
  3. Security

    A SIP guard, SIP flood protection and a per-company call-rate cap that stop floods, outsiders and looping phones.

    • SIP guard: voice servers answer SIP only from our own network
    • SIP flood protection on the front doors, never throttling addresses whose phones signed in recently
    • Call-rate cap: a limit on new calls per minute per company, to stop a hijacked or looping phone
  4. Platform

    • The portal connects each company's browser phone to the voice server that holds its calls
