Answer revenue-ready calls after hours

Give new leads and returning customers an immediate, natural conversation during evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Follow your urgency and transfer rules

Define which calls should transfer now, which details to collect, and which requests can wait for your team.

Book and hand off before morning

Use your scheduling flow when configured, then send the call outcome to the people and technology responsible for the next step.

Why it matters

The customer calling at night is usually ready to choose someone

Service businesses do not stop receiving valuable calls when the office closes. A new lead, urgent tenant, returning client, or next-day appointment request may call evenings, weekends, or holidays. Many will call the next business if they reach voicemail. Aira gives every caller an immediate, professional conversation and follows the rules you set for messages, booking, qualification, and transfers.

How Aira helps

Win the call before another business does

01

Answer every hour without after-hours surcharges

Aira uses the same call-handling capabilities around the clock. There is no separate overnight team to schedule and no after-hours feature tier to unlock.

02

Separate urgent calls from calls that can wait

Define what counts as urgent, what information to collect, and when a call should transfer. Aira follows those rules and sends your team a clear call summary.

03

Book the next available appointment

When a caller is ready to schedule, Aira can use your connected calendar and booking flow instead of asking the customer to call again in the morning.

04

Protect the customer experience

Callers get answers based on your approved business information. When a request falls outside that information, Aira can take a complete message or follow your escalation path.

Simple to launch

  2. 2

    Set the after-hours rules

    Choose when Aira answers, what counts as urgent, who receives summaries, and when a caller should transfer.

  3. 3

    Test, then go live

    Call with realistic scenarios, refine the experience, and forward your existing number when you are ready.
