# Make Outbound Calls

> How to initiate calls with your AI agent

## Overview

Magpipe supports two types of outbound calls:

1. **Agent Call** - AI agent speaks to the recipient
2. **Callback Call** - You speak to the recipient (bridged through Magpipe)

## Making an Agent Call

Use this when you want your AI agent to call someone on your behalf.

  <Step title="Open Dialer">
    From the **Home** screen, you'll see the dialpad. Or tap the phone icon in the navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Number">
    Type or paste the phone number you want to call.

### Agent Call Flow

1. Magpipe initiates call to recipient
2. Recipient answers
3. Your AI agent delivers its greeting
4. Agent handles the conversation
5. Call is recorded and transcribed
6. Call appears in Inbox

## Making a Callback Call

Use this when you want to speak to someone yourself, using your Magpipe number as caller ID.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Dialer">
    From the **Home** screen, access the dialpad.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Number">
    Type the phone number you want to call.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Disable Agent">
    Toggle off "Use Agent" or select "No Agent".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Call">
    Tap the **Call** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer Your Phone">
    Magpipe calls YOUR phone first. Answer it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connected">
    Once you answer, Magpipe bridges you to the recipient.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Callback Call Flow

1. Magpipe calls your registered phone
2. You answer
3. Magpipe then calls the recipient
4. When they answer, you're connected
5. Your Magpipe number shows as caller ID

## Call Settings

### From Number

Choose which of your Magpipe numbers to call from. This affects:

* Caller ID shown to recipient
* Which agent is used (for agent calls)

### Recording

Calls are recorded by default. Recordings and transcripts appear in the Inbox.

## Multilingual Calls

Agent calls use the same language setting as inbound calls. If your agent is set to **Multilingual**, it will detect and match the recipient's language during the conversation.

For single-language agents (French, Spanish, German), the agent speaks that language for the entire call.

Configure the language in your agent's **Basic Settings**.
