Steps
Create a connection in Talkdesk representing the external system to automate against
Define a trigger — the contact center event (e.g. a missed call) that starts the automation
Add filters to scope when the automation should actually run, such as limiting it to specific days or queues
Define the action's input using a JSON schema so Talkdesk knows what fields to populate when calling your action
Configure the action endpoint Talkdesk calls once the trigger fires and filters pass
Test the automation end-to-end and review delivery/failure logs in the connection's automation history
Known gotchas
Filters are evaluated after the trigger fires, not before, so a high-volume trigger with a narrow filter still incurs trigger overhead
The action's JSON schema determines the exact payload shape sent; mismatches between schema and endpoint expectations fail silently unless you check automation logs
Automations are scoped to a single connection, so reusing the same action logic across connections means duplicating configuration
