We have already called vs We had already called

The phrases are both correct, but the contexts in which they are used are not the same. 'We have already called' is used when referring to a recent action that has an impact on the present, while 'We had already called' is used when referring to a past action that occurred before another past event. The choice between them depends on the timeline of events being described.
