Who this is for
- HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and field service owners who miss calls during jobs.
- Teams that cannot staff a full after-hours desk but still need coverage.
- Businesses that already book through a calendar or CRM and want that kept in sync.
What the receptionist does
- Answers inbound calls or chats with your service list and service area rules.
- Asks the questions your dispatcher would ask (urgency, address, equipment).
- Books appointments into your calendar when slots are open.
- Escalates emergencies or complex jobs to a human with a clear summary.
Setup steps
- Map services, service area, pricing rules, and booking calendar.
- Write and test the call scripts with your team.
- Connect phone, CRM, and calendar.
- Go live with monitoring and weekly tune-ups for the first month.
