You define the emergency keyword list during setup — most plumbing shops use burst, leak, flood, no heat, no AC, gas, smoke, sparking, water everywhere. The AI listens for those phrases on every call, drops the qualification flow the moment one fires, and transfers to your designated on-call number with a brief summary so the human picks up informed.
Tone detection catches what keywords miss. Raised volume, profanity, "right now", "immediately", crying, repeated panic — all flagged as urgency cues. The AI also defaults to escalating any caller who explicitly asks for a human or sounds frustrated within the first three turns.
You define the fallback chain: cell A → cell B → cell C → after-hours dispatcher number. If every line fails, the AI takes a detailed message + texts the on-call tech a summary so they can call back the moment they're free.
