Can my AI agent connect to a business's existing system, such as a booking system or inventory?

Yes. You can integrate with just about anything, even during a live phone call. Votel has a Webhook or API step that posts data to, or gets data from, any third-party system that has an API. There are also many built-in integrations, MCP support, and connections to Zapier and Pabbly, which unlock thousands more integrations.

You can use the API step to read data and let the AI talk about it. For example, a car dealership can look up its car inventory in real time:

1. Add an API step that requests the inventory.
2. Save the response to a variable.
3. Pass it to a conversation node in AI generated mode.
4. Tell the AI to talk about the cars in the inventory, because it just got them from the previous step.

The same step can write data to a calendar or read available slots for booking a service.

Before you build, work out where, if at all, you actually need to integrate.
