Call Flow Designer

PBX systems have long been the backbone of business communications, handling everything from VIP calls and customer service hotlines to hotel wake-up reminders. These traditional scenarios are well-supported. But as businesses grow and customer expectations rise, static routing rules are no longer enough. Managing dozens — sometimes hundreds — of call paths becomes inefficient, error-prone, and unable to keep up with evolving workflows. Take these common real-world challenges, for example:

  • A VIP client is calling, but all agents are busy. You urgently need to interrupt a call or alert a supervisor — how do you make it happen?
  • A Friday promotion begins. Can your system automatically detect the timing and play a promotional message at the beginning of each call — without manual updates?
  • You have a CRM system that tracks billing status. Can your PBX dynamically route callers to different agent groups based on that status?

These aren’t just routing issues anymore — they’re workflow automation challenges. And that’s exactly what Call Flow Designer is built to solve.

What is Call Flow Designer?

Yeastar Call Flow Designer (CFD) is a visual call automation tool built in the P-Series Phone System — no plugins or third-party tools required. With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface and support for conditions, loops, and variables, it empowers you to build customized call workflows in just hours.

It leverages native PBX components like Business Hours, IVR, Menu, Prompts, Dial by Number, Text-to-Speech, and more — all fully compatible with external CRMs and databases — to automate your business logic such as VIP routing, caller authentication, PIN verification, group transfers, in-or-after-call email notifications, and beyond.

From initial call entry to dynamic routing and post-call actions, Call Flow Designer helps agents manage calls more efficiently and customers reach the right destination faster.

Components of CFD

To understand how the Call Flow Designer works, it’s essential to first get familiar with its core structure and the role of each part in building call flows.

ToolBox

.

Contains a collection of functional building blocks, representing all the native processing components supported by the PBX system — such as IVR, Menu, Prompt, business hour and more.

Design Area

.

This area is the central canvas where call flows are visually built. You can simply drag and drop functional blocks — such as IVR, Prompts, and Transfers — and combine them with logic components like Conditions, Loops, and Variables to define call behavior. No complex coding is required, making it easy for anyone to DIY your automated workflows.

Components

.

They are the fundamental units of Call Flow Designer. Each component is not just a graphical icon but a functional representation of actual PBX modules. For example, the IVR component maps to multi-level voice menus, while the Business Hour component represents time-based routing logic.

How Does It Work?

Once you’re familiar with the building blocks of Call Flow Designer, you can easily construct an end-to-end automated call flow by dragging components into the Design Area.

Stage 1: Pre-call Handling

Define rules based on caller ID, dialed DID, business hours, and more. Route incoming calls dynamically by time, location, or identity.

Stage 2: In-call Handling

You can use actions like Prompts, Menus, User Input, and Transfer to manage the live call. Set up linear, branching, or looped logic depending on the workflow.

Stage 3: Post-call Actions

Trigger follow-ups like sending emails, pushing data to CRMs, or generating auto-responses using Text to Speech. Developer blocks extend your workflow beyond the call.

Stage 4: Save and Deploy

Once the flow is designed, simply save and publish it. The call flow can then be applied to a specific phone number or entry point. Each flow is fully visual, editable, and adaptable.

Application Scenarios of Call Flow Designer

Call Routing for Multi-site Offices

.

Your Need: You operate multiple offices across different regions, each with its own DID number and local business hours. You want to ensure that calls are answered during working hours and automatically redirected after hours.
How CFD Helps: You can assign a Business Hour component to each DID. During business hours, calls follow the normal workflow. After hours, they’re automatically routed to an IVR that plays a custom message like “Thank you for calling.” This gives you a unified yet location-specific call handling strategy.
Key Components: DID Matching, Business Hour, IVR, Prompt.

Linear Call Flow for Quick Call Distribution

.

Your Need: You want a simple, efficient way to route incoming calls to the right team — like Sales or Support — without delay.
How CFD Helps: With drag-and-drop Menu and Transfer components, you can build a linear call flow in minutes. Callers press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support, and if no one answers, the system automatically sends them to voicemail. It’s fast to set up and easy to maintain.
Key Components: Menu, Queue, User Input, Voicemail

Build a Voice-Driven Automated Assistant

.

Your Need: You’re looking to automate the first layer of call handling — greeting callers, collecting key information, and routing based on their input.
How CFD Helps: Call Flow Designer lets you build a voice-driven assistant using Text-to-Speech, Prompt, User Input, and Developer API components. You can ask callers about their needs, urgency, or contact details, and route them accordingly — all without involving a live agent upfront. This creates a smart, consistent, and efficient caller experience.
Key Components: Text-to-Speech, Prompt, User Input, Transfer, Developer API
