Thred collects information over the phone and returns structured JSON. Use the Collect API when you know who to ask. Provide a phone number and instructions, add known context values in input, and define the answers you want with a JSON Schema in output. Thred makes the call and gets the answers: business hours, inventory, availability, and more.

How it works

  1. Choose the source. Send the phone number you want Thred to call and what you want to find out.
  2. Choose your output. Define the fields you want back in output. The result is always an object.
  3. Get the answers. Save the collection ID and retrieve the result when it is ready.
Thred handles the conversation and phone menus, and can request human assistance when needed.
