Success Goals & Data Guide
This section defines two things: what counts as a good call (success criteria), and what information to pull out of every call transcript (extraction fields). Together they turn calls from "black boxes of audio" into structured data you can report on and improve from.
You configure this in the Agent Studio under "Success Goals & Data". It has two fields.
What's a Win
What it is: A list of outcomes that count as success. These are used to score each call after it ends.
Why it matters: Without explicit success criteria, the agent is optimizing for nothing — it just talks. With them, the post-call evaluation can tell you which calls met the bar and which didn't, so you know where to iterate.
Good examples
Appointment booking:
- "Appointment booked"
- "All required info collected"
- "Confirmation sent to caller's email"
Customer support:
- "Issue resolved on the call"
- "Ticket created with clear next steps"
- "Caller's sentiment captured"
Sales outreach:
- "Demo booked"
- "Contact info captured"
- "Fit qualified (team size, budget, timeline)"
Tips
- Short phrases. The post-call LLM reads these. One-liner per win.
- Concrete, not vague. "Call went well" is useless. "Appointment booked" is testable.
- Three to five wins is enough. More and the signal gets noisy.
- Order doesn't matter. All wins are OR'd — any one met counts.
Capture from Calls
What it is: Structured fields the AI extracts from every call transcript. Each field has a name, a data type, and a description of what to look for.
Why it matters: This is what makes your call logs searchable and reportable. Instead of re-listening to audio, you can filter for "calls where budget_signal was 'high'" or export a spreadsheet of every caller's preferred_date.
Field structure
Each captured field has three properties:
- Field name — the key used in the extracted JSON (e.g.
caller_email). Use snake_case. - Data type —
string,number,boolean, orarray. - What to look for — a description for the AI: where in the conversation this might appear, and what it looks like.
Good examples
Booking agent:
| Field | Type | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
full_name | string | The caller's full name, as they introduce themselves |
preferred_date | string | The date and time window the caller wants |
timezone | string | The caller's timezone (city, state, or explicit zone) |
primary_concern | string | What they're coming in for — symptom, appointment type, or referral reason |
Support agent:
| Field | Type | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
account_email | string | The email address on the caller's account |
issue_summary | string | A one-sentence summary of what's broken |
resolution_status | string | Whether the issue was resolved, escalated, or still open |
caller_sentiment | string | positive / neutral / negative — how the caller sounded at the end |
Sales agent:
| Field | Type | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
company_name | string | The company the caller represents |
team_size | number | Headcount if mentioned |
budget_signal | string | high / medium / low / none mentioned |
follow_up_date | string | When they want to hear back, if set |
Tips
- Name fields like API keys. Snake_case. The JSON shows up in webhooks and reports.
- Describe what to look for, not what to extract. "The email the caller provides" is better than "email". The AI uses the description to find the value.
- Use the right type. Numbers as numbers, not strings. Arrays for lists ("all products mentioned").
- Start with 3–5 fields. Add more once you see what the reports actually need.
How the two work together
- Wins tell you how many calls succeeded. They're boolean-ish: did this call meet criterion X or not.
- Capture tells you what happened in each call. Structured data you can slice and filter.
Both feed into your analytics and post-call reports. Wins drive the success rate metric; Capture drives everything else.
Putting it together
A complete Goals configuration for a dental booking agent:
persona:
successCriteria:
- "Appointment booked"
- "All required info collected"
- "Confirmation sent"
extractionTags:
- tag: "full_name"
type: "string"
description: "The caller's full name"
- tag: "preferred_date"
type: "string"
description: "The date and time window the caller wants"
- tag: "timezone"
type: "string"
description: "The caller's timezone"
- tag: "primary_concern"
type: "string"
description: "What they're coming in for"Next steps
- Write Wins first. They're the simplest and drive the most important metric.
- Add 3–5 capture fields. The ones you'd want to see in a weekly report beat the ones that might be nice to have someday.
- Look at real call data after a week and refine. The fields you actually needed will become obvious.
