Answering Service Appointment Scheduling

Answering service appointment scheduling helps your next caller choose a time while your team serves customers. Aira answers the call, collects the appointment details and checks your connected calendar. With scheduling enabled, it books the appointment types and times your business allows.

Make it easier to book while your team is busy

Choose Aira when you need an answering service and appointment scheduling together. Callers can explain what they need, get answers from your business information and choose an allowed time without waiting for a callback.

This is inbound appointment answering. Your receptionist handles the calls that reach your business; this service does not promise outbound prospecting or cold-call appointment setting.

Collect the details that make the appointment useful

Ask what the caller wants to book and collect the details your team needs to prepare. Your appointment answering service can follow different questions for a first consultation, an estimate or an existing-customer visit.

Keep the contact and call summary together in Aira's customer record. Your team can start the appointment with the context from the phone conversation.

Use your availability and keep exceptions with your team

Enable scheduling, connect the calendar and set the appointment types, availability and booking rules. Your receptionist offers the slots returned by that connection. Requests outside those rules can become a message or a transfer to your chosen contact.

Check the exact calendar or scheduling-tool connection during setup. A request for an unavailable slot is not a confirmed booking.

Example call forwarding
  1. Your business number

    The number your customers know

  2. Aira answers

    Your greeting and call rules

  3. Your team follows through

    A transfer or a useful message

Keep changes and confirmations connected to the booking

Supported calendar workflows can handle rescheduling and cancellation when enabled. Booking confirmation texts are available when business texting and confirmations are enabled. Choose the features and plan that fit the way your team books.

Setup and integration support are included. Test a new appointment, an unavailable time and a change request before relying on the service for customer calls.

More time for the work that matters.

“Most of those questions were already answered on our website. Aira handling them gave us more time for the calls from people who actually needed work done.”

“We used to get a lot of spam calls and solicitors wasting our office's time. Aira weeds those out and gets us to the homeowners who actually need roof work, so my sales guy can stay focused on closing jobs.”

“I honestly expected it to sound kind of stiff or robotic. I loved how natural and expressive the voices sounded, and that there were so many different options to choose from.”
