Delivery Confirmation & Signature

Confirm high-value deliveries with recipients, collect verbal acknowledgment, and create a timestamped audit record — without requiring a physical signature.

Why this matters

Keep freight moving with automated delivery confirmation, carrier check-ins, claims intake, and compliance data collection. This example shows you how to automate delivery confirmation & signature calls end-to-end with Guava's SDK — no telephony plumbing, no prompt engineering, just Python.

Running the agent
Step 01

Installation

Install from Guava's private PyPI index. A public package is coming soon — the install command will simplify to pip install guava.

terminal
# Step 1: Install Guava
pip install gridspace-guava --extra-index-url https://guava-pypi.gridspace.com

# Public PyPI package coming soon — the install command will simplify to:
# pip install guava

# Step 2: Set your credentials
export GUAVA_API_KEY="..."
export GUAVA_AGENT_NUMBER="..."
Step 02

How it's built

Every Guava agent is a Python class. Walk through the key sections below, then grab the complete file at the end.

01

Imports

Import the Guava SDK and any helpers you need. guava.CallController is the base class for every voice agent.

example.py
# Install: pip install gridspace-guava --extra-index-url https://guava-pypi.gridspace.com
import guava
import os
from datetime import datetime

Agent setup

set_persona() defines how the agent presents itself. set_task() gives it its mission in plain English. The checklist drives the conversation — Guava works through it top-to-bottom, collecting Field values and speaking Say items as it goes.

example.py
class DeliveryConfirmationBot(guava.CallController):
    def __init__(self, recipient_name: str, tracking_number: str, item_description: str,
                 delivery_address: str):
        super().__init__()
        self.set_persona(
            organization_name="Apex Logistics Delivery Confirmation",
            agent_name="Jade",
        )
        self.set_task(
            objective=f"Confirm delivery of {item_description} to {recipient_name} at {delivery_address}",
            checklist=[
                f"Greet {recipient_name} and confirm you're calling about tracking number {tracking_number}.",
                guava.Field(
                    key="received_package",
                    field_type="bool",
                    description="Did the recipient receive the package?",
                ),
                guava.Field(
                    key="package_condition",
                    field_type="choice",
                    description="What was the condition of the package upon receipt?",
                    choices=["good condition", "minor external damage", "significant damage", "opened/tampered"],
                ),
                guava.Field(
                    key="correct_item",
                    field_type="bool",
                    description="Was the correct item delivered?",
                ),
                guava.Field(
                    key="verbal_confirmation",
                    field_type="bool",
                    description="Do they confirm receipt — this call is being recorded as proof of delivery?",
                ),
                "Provide claim number if damaged, and confirm delivery record is complete.",
            ],
            on_complete=lambda fields: print(f"Delivery confirmed: {tracking_number} — {fields}"),
        )

guava.dial(
    controller=DeliveryConfirmationBot,
    controller_args={"recipient_name": "Brenda Santos", "tracking_number": "1Z9A8B7C6D5E4F3G",
                     "item_description": "industrial pump assembly",
