Give callers live SNCF train times, journeys and disruption updates by phone.

Connect SNCF to AgentCalls and your agent can answer travel questions on the phone using live passenger information. It searches stations and places by name, checks upcoming departures and arrivals at a station, plans a journey for a requested time, and reports current service disruptions on the lines a caller asks about. Your agent uses the same SNCF data your team sees, so answers stay current during the call. Connect your SNCF account from the tool settings in your AgentCalls dashboard.

What your agent can do with SNCF

  • Look up SNCF stations and places by name and give the right station for the caller's trip.
  • Read the next departures or arrivals at a station, with scheduled and realtime times.
  • Plan a train journey between two places for a chosen departure or arrival time.
  • Report current service disruptions and the lines or stations they affect.
  • Find stations and stops near a location the caller gives you.

SNCF exposes 9 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Example calls

Inbound question about the next train

  1. Caller

    Hi, I need to get from Lyon Part-Dieu to Marseille Saint-Charles this evening. What's the next train?

  2. Agent

    Sure. Let me check the journeys for this evening. The next direct train leaves Lyon Part-Dieu at 18:12 and arrives in Marseille Saint-Charles at 20:41. Would you like the later option too?

  3. Caller

    Yes, anything after 19:00 would be fine.

  4. Agent

    There's one at 19:30, arriving at 21:58. Shall I text you the details?

Checking a station board before a pickup

  1. Caller

    My client is arriving at Paris Gare de Lyon on the 9:15 from Geneva. Is it on time?

  2. Agent

    Let me check the live board for Paris Gare de Lyon. The 9:15 from Geneva is running about four minutes late and now expects to arrive at 9:19 on platform 6.

  3. Caller

    Thanks. Is anything else disrupted on that line today?

  4. Agent

    There is one current disruption on the Paris to Geneva line, a signalling fault between Dijon and Mâcon. Trains are running with some delays. I can read you the details if you want them.

Outbound update on a disrupted service

  1. Agent

    Good afternoon, this is a call from Riviera Tours about your group booking for the 16:40 train from Nice to Monaco. There is a short disruption on that line, so the train may be about 25 minutes late.

  2. Caller

    Oh, thanks for letting me know. Is there another option if we miss it?

  3. Agent

    Yes. The 17:05 from Nice Ville still has seats and arrives in Monaco at 17:52. I can hold a place on that train for your group.

  4. Caller

    Please do. Thank you.

Questions, answered.

Does the agent use SNCF data during the call or only afterwards?

During the call. When a caller asks about a train, station or disruption, your agent looks up the current SNCF data and answers while the caller is still on the line.

What do I need to connect SNCF?

You need your own SNCF account with the credentials for the passenger-information data. Enter them in the SNCF settings from your AgentCalls dashboard. Once connected, the agent can use the SNCF actions on your number.

Which plan includes this integration?

SNCF is included from the Growth plan. Integrations are not available on the Starter plan.
