Smith.ai receptionists can now answer Facebook messages for your business, 24/7! Clients expect your business to respond quickly on Facebook just like you would on web chat, text message, and the phone. Let us answer, screen, and book your Facebook leads, exceeding expectations.

Keep your leads warm with Smith.ai’s new Text & Email Follow-Up feature. While on the call, or immediately afterwards, our receptionists can send a text message, email, or both to your callers. We'll only send a text to the people who fit your criteria, and you can let us know exactly what to send (or we'll help you).

Smith.ai already supports you 24/7 via Live Chat on your website, and now we're offering the same superior answering service for text messages. Clients and new leads can text your business and Smith.ai live agents will respond, day and night. Let us solve client issues and answer common questions while you work, sleep, or spend uninterrupted time with your family.

Many small and medium-sized businesses follow-up with leads and clients using emails with low open and response rates. Now, with Smith.ai’s Email-to-SMS feature, you can send texts and we'll respond when people text back. Read on to learn more.

We are proud to announce that we now have a web-based dashboard where our clients can access information about their receptionist service. Clients can use the new dashboard to easily calculate leads, see outbound calls, get historical call data, and access service preferences, all from one place.

Zapier rhymes with "happier" — and that's exactly what you'll be when you use Smith.ai's new Zap to automate data capture, workflows, alerts, and tasks.

Smith.ai receptionists have made outbound calls for our clients from the start, but until recently, when we made those calls, your Smith.ai number appeared on caller ID. Now, you can opt to have your main business number appear on caller ID when we make outbound calls on your behalf. Learn more about this new feature from Smith.ai.

We're pleased to announce a new service from Smith.ai, called Operator. With this service, Smith.ai receptionists will convene your conference calls with multiple participants. We'll bring all participants on the line, and then we'll call you to join them. Learn more about this service and how to get started.

As a growing small business with an answering service, you likely have customers calling for a variety of reasons. At Smith.ai we take pride in managing your calls in ways that help you optimize efficiency and workflow. One way we do that is by getting the right information to the right person or people.
