Open the agent setup
- In the Partner Portal, open AI Agents → Retell Agents.
- Click Create New Agent.
- In Setup, choose the customer who will own the agent.
Complete the agent details
Move through the sections at the top of the window:
- Basic Settings — enter the agent name and instructions, choose a voice and language, and set the opening message.
- Advanced Settings — adjust voice, conversation, call, audio, outbound, and webhook options when needed. The defaults are suitable for many agents.
- Function Calls — connect customer tools when this section is available for your account.
The production portal currently marks Function Calls as Work in Progress. Avoid relying on it for a live customer until that notice is removed.
Review the selected customer and required fields, then click Create Agent.
After creation
Find the new agent on the Retell Agents page. From there, you can open its details, change the customer assignment, or manage its webhook.
