What is the Aircall Black Friday AI Voice Agents offer?

Aircall is giving eligible accounts unlimited AI Voice Agent minutes through the busiest weeks of the year, so e-commerce teams can cover every order call without paying per minute during the spike.

Why do Black Friday calls overwhelm e-commerce teams?

Peak season doesn't just add calls. It adds the same calls, all at once.

• The same three questions dominate. "Where is my order?" is the most repetitive request in retail, followed closely by delivery timing and returns. (Here's why order status calls take over the queue.)

• Patience is short. In Aircall's shopper survey, 60% of people said they'd wait two minutes or less on the phone, and 29% would only wait one minute.

• Hiring can't keep pace. Seasonal reps need training before they can answer accurately, and the spike often arrives before they're ready. (How to manage seasonal call center employees.)

• Queues only delay the problem. Call queuing keeps callers in line, but it doesn't add capacity to answer them. (Ways to reduce customer queue time.)

Which Black Friday calls can an AI Voice Agent answer?

An AI Voice Agent answers the phone, understands what the caller wants, and resolves routine requests without a rep picking up. Aircall's AI order management agent is built for e-commerce and retail calls like these:

Every call the AI Voice Agent resolves is one your reps don't have to take. That leaves your team for the calls that need judgment and empathy.

How do AI Voice Agents use Shopify and HubSpot data?

Aircall AI Voice Agents connect to the tools your team already runs, through 250+ native integrations.

• Shopify: live order status, items, shipping, and tracking, so callers get real answers instead of a scripted "please check your email."

• HubSpot: customer history and previous conversations, so the agent knows who's calling.

• Caller verification: the agent identifies the customer automatically from their phone number before sharing order details.

AI Voice Agents speak naturally and expressively in 38 languages, with a choice of accents, so international shoppers get answers in their own language.

Can AI Voice Agents call customers before they call you?

Yes. Aircall AI Voice Agents can make proactive calls, which cuts inbound volume before it starts.

• Delay alerts: let customers know about a carrier delay before they call to ask.

• Delivery updates: confirm orders and share delivery windows.

• Restock alerts: tell shoppers when an item they wanted is back.

• Cart follow-up: re-engage shoppers who left items in their cart.

One rule applies to all outbound AI calls in the US. The FCC treats AI-generated voices as "artificial" voices under the TCPA, so you need the customer's prior express consent, and prior express written consent for marketing calls. Check your consent records before turning on outbound campaigns. (More on AI outbound calling.)

What happens when a caller needs a person?

The AI Voice Agent hands the call to a rep with full context: who the customer is, what they asked, and what the agent already tried. Your rep picks up where the agent left off, and the customer doesn't repeat themselves. It works like a warm transfer, with the summary already written.

How do you set up an AI Voice Agent before Black Friday?

Start now so the agent is tuned before peak week, not during it.

1. Connect Shopify and your CRM. Both are native Aircall integrations.

2. Audit your source data. Make sure order statuses, return policies, and delivery windows are accurate. The agent answers from what you give it.

3. Write the agent's instructions. Cover your top questions first: order status, delivery, and returns.

4. Test on a share of calls. Route a portion of inbound traffic to the agent, listen to calls, and refine the instructions.

5. Brief your reps on handoffs. Show them how transferred calls arrive and what context they'll see.

6. Scale to all routine calls. Expand coverage once the agent answers accurately.

What this looks like in practice: TripCity now handles 54% of its calls with Aircall AI Voice Agents, and 87% of those are resolved without a live rep. (See the full breakdown.) For more peak-season planning, see how e-commerce teams prepare for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
