Tell your AI assistant: 'call these 50 on Tuesday morning'.
Schedule a cold-calling campaign from a conversation. Set the time window, choose the leads, confirm the headcount, approve, and FoxEra enforces UK calling hours while your AI agent phones the list.
Why scheduling by conversation beats a dashboard
Opening a dashboard, navigating to the right page, selecting leads, setting a time window and clicking through a form takes minutes. Telling your AI assistant "call these 50 leads on Tuesday between 9 and 12" takes seconds. The outcome is the same: a campaign is created, the headcount is confirmed, and nobody is phoned until you approve.
For founders and small business owners who are already using ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or another AI assistant throughout the day, managing cold calling from the same conversation is one less tool to learn and one fewer tab to keep open.
How to connect your assistant to FoxEra Calls
Any AI assistant that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) can connect to your FoxEra Calls account in three steps:
- Open your assistant's connector or tool settings and add a new remote MCP server.
- Paste the server URL: https://app.foxera.co.uk/mcp
- Sign in with your FoxEra account when prompted and press Allow.
Nothing to install, no API key to manage. Your assistant can now read your leads, create campaigns and check results. Full details are on the developer guide.
Scheduling a campaign step by step
Once connected, a typical scheduling conversation looks like this:
- You: "Call the leads in the Electricians folder on Tuesday morning between 9 and 12."
- Assistant: checks the folder, counts the leads, previews the campaign — shows you the exact number of people, the calling window and the estimated cost.
- You: "Go ahead."
- Assistant: creates the campaign and confirms it is scheduled.
The assistant shows you the headcount and asks for your approval before anyone is phoned. This is a safety requirement, not optional — every campaign needs a confirmed number and a separate approval step.
You can also set recurring calling hours for your account, so every future campaign respects your preferred time window without you having to say it each time.
What your assistant can do with your account
Through the developer connector, your AI assistant can:
- Check your account status and calling credit balance.
- Add leads individually or in bulk, organised into folders.
- Choose which AI calling agent to use (Cass, Alex or Andrea).
- Preview a campaign — see the headcount, time window and estimated cost before committing.
- Create, schedule and approve a campaign.
- Cancel or stop a live campaign.
- Read call outcomes, transcripts, recordings and costs.
- Pull a summary report after a campaign finishes.
- Edit or approve the calling script.
- Get a top-up link when credit runs low.
Every action is logged. You can revoke access at any time by changing your password, which disconnects all connected assistants immediately.
UK calling hours are enforced automatically
When you schedule a campaign for Tuesday morning, FoxEra enforces UK calling-hours rules regardless of what time you set. If you accidentally ask for calls at 6 a.m., the system will not start dialling outside permitted hours.
This means you can schedule confidently without checking the regulations yourself. The AI agent also follows UK cold calling rules and provides TPS/CTPS screening guidance so your campaigns stay compliant.

Checking results from the same conversation
After your campaign runs, ask your assistant for results in plain language: "How did the Tuesday campaign go?" It pulls the outcomes, shows you how many calls connected, how many leads were interested and what each person said.
You can ask it to read a specific transcript, play a recording link, or pull a cost summary. If a prospect asked you to call back, your assistant can add them to a follow-up folder or schedule another campaign for next week.

Frequently asked questions
Which AI assistants can schedule FoxEra campaigns?
Any assistant that supports MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and DeepSeek-based agents. You can also use REST API keys with n8n, Make or your own code. See the developer guide.
Can the assistant phone people without my approval?
No. Every campaign requires you to confirm the exact number of people and give a separate approval before anyone is called. The assistant is instructed to show you the headcount and wait for your yes.
Does scheduling cost extra?
No. Connecting your assistant is free. You pay only from 12p per connected minute for the calls themselves. New accounts start with £7 of free calling credit.
What if I schedule a campaign outside UK calling hours?
FoxEra enforces UK calling hours automatically. If your time window falls outside permitted hours, calls will not start until they are allowed.
