Retell AI Prod Checklist

Overview

Implementation patterns for Retell AI prod checklist — voice agent and telephony platform.

Prerequisites

• Completed retellai-install-auth setup

Instructions

Step 1: SDK Pattern

import Retell from 'retell-sdk';
const retell = new Retell({ apiKey: process.env.RETELL_API_KEY! });

const agents = await retell.agent.list();
console.log(`Agents: ${agents.length}`);

Output

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
401 Unauthorized	Invalid API key	Check RETELL_API_KEY
429 Rate Limited	Too many requests	Implement backoff
400 Bad Request	Invalid parameters	Check API documentation

Examples

Approve a limited production launch

Before routing a live number, verify the exact agent version, environment secret references, consent and disclosure text, fallback transfer destination, and on-call owner. Run a final synthetic call through the production-like preview route and record the result without retaining audio. Start with a small traffic percentage and a defined rollback trigger, then expand only when completion, escalation, and error metrics remain within the release bounds.
