Call Scope: Internal Vs External

How Rafiki AI attributes a meeting as internal or external

Call Scope: Internal vs. External

Rafiki AI classifies every meeting as either Internal or External based on the participants' email domains.

How Classification Works

Type

When it applies

Internal

All participants share the same email domain as your organization (e.g., all @yourcompany.com)

External

At least one participant has an email domain different from your organization (e.g., a prospect or customer)

Why It Matters

  • Recording rules — You can configure Rafiki AI to only record External calls, skipping internal team meetings. Set this in Settings > Recording > Call Processing Scope.

  • Analytics — Filter analytics by call direction to focus on customer-facing conversations.

  • Deal association — External calls are more likely to be associated with CRM deals and accounts.

Phone-Only Participants

Participants who join via phone number (without an email) may be classified differently since domain matching is not possible. These are typically treated as external participants.
