Teams voice guide

Teams Direct Routing gives AI voice a familiar place to land.

Vonics can connect Teams Phone, SIP paths, AI voice agents and operator handoff so the customer keeps a familiar calling experience while gaining workflow automation.

Why it matters

Many customers already live in Microsoft 365.

Teams Phone can be the user-facing voice surface while Vonics handles call routing, AI intake, summaries, workflow events and handoff rules. That helps partners sell automation without asking every user to adopt a new softphone.

Use cases

Teams-aware workflows are easy to demonstrate.

  • Send a Teams notification when an AI agent captures a high-value lead.
  • Route a caller to an operator with transcript context attached.
  • Use Direct Routing to connect Teams Phone to SIP and AI workflow paths.
  • Summarise answered calls for service teams and managers.

Implementation

Start with routing and handoff before deeper automation.

The clean first step is to map the call path, user groups, transfer rules and escalation rules. Once the voice path is stable, the workflow can add AI prompts, app lookups and connector writeback.

FAQ

Teams Direct Routing questions.

Does Teams remain the user interface?

It can. Vonics can support workflows where Teams remains the place staff receive calls, context and handoff.

Can AI answer before Teams?

Yes, where scoped. The AI workflow can answer, capture intent, then route or notify Teams users when a person is needed.

Can this work with SIP trunks?

Yes. Direct Routing and SIP-friendly call paths are core parts of the Vonics voice story.
