What is viaSocket used for in a Bolna voice agent?

viaSocket lets you add Bolna as a node in no-code workflows, so a workflow can place outbound calls through your agent and read your Bolna call executions and account data. Pick it if your team already builds automations on viaSocket and wants to start calls or pull call records without custom code.

How do I set up viaSocket with Bolna?

  1. Log in to viaSocket and open the Connections section.
  2. Click Connect New App and search for Bolna.
  3. In the Bolna dashboard, create an API key under Developers → API Keys and paste it into the viaSocket connection dialog.
  4. Click Add Connection, then add a Bolna action to any viaSocket workflow.

What can you automate with viaSocket and Bolna?

Start calls from other apps. When a new lead lands in your CRM or a form, a viaSocket workflow can use Make a phone call to have your agent ring them.

Pull call records into reports. Use Get all executions to copy call details into a spreadsheet or internal tool on a schedule.

Keep an inventory of your setup. List agents, phone numbers, knowledge bases and providers to sync them into a sheet or an admin dashboard.

Tools & Workflows

Tools let your voice agents take action during a call, not just talk. Book a calendar slot, look up an order through your own API, push a lead into your CRM, or trigger a multi-step automation in Zapier. These integrations turn voice agents from answering machines into workflow engines.

Browse

Telephony

Telephony providers connect your voice agents to the phone network so they can make and receive real calls. Bolna supports managed integrations with major carriers as well as bring-your-own-carrier via SIP trunking, giving you full control over call routing, number provisioning, and cost.

Large Language Models

The LLM is the brain of your voice agent. It understands what callers say and decides how to respond. Bolna lets you switch between models like GPT-5.4 mini, Claude and DeepSeek by changing the provider and model in your agent LLM settings, so you can tune for speed, cost or reasoning depth.

Speech-to-Text

Speech-to-text converts what callers say into text that your LLM can process. Transcription accuracy and latency directly affect how natural a conversation feels. Bolna supports streaming STT providers optimized for telephony audio, including specialized models for Indian languages.

Text-to-Speech

Text-to-speech turns your agent responses into spoken audio. Voice quality shapes how callers perceive your brand. Flat, robotic speech kills trust while natural, expressive voices build it. Bolna integrates with the fastest TTS providers so responses sound human and arrive without awkward pauses.
