Smarter scheduling with AI Receptionist

Calendly events require a few details to complete a booking, such as name and email address. You probably also ask for a few more details, such as their phone number, the reason for the appointment, and how they heard about your business.

When it comes time to book an appointment on a call, AI Receptionist connects to Calendly instantly. The AI agent will:

• Ask the caller for their preferred time
• Present available appointment slots
• Reserve the time selected by the caller
• Collect answers from the caller to complete questions (both required and optional)

Based on your Calendly settings, the caller will receive an instant confirmation via email and/or SMS, and reminders as the meeting time approaches.

All you need to do is come to the meeting, whether it’s over Zoom, at your office, or at a client’s home — easy!

Book every lead

Are slow follow-up times costing you business? AI Receptionist instantly schedules qualified leads based on your live availability. Hot leads can grab the next open slot, helping you:

• Reduce speed-to-lead
• Increase your conversion rate
• Capture more revenue

Service every customer

Current clients need better ways to reach you, too. With AI Receptionist and Calendly, customers can:

• Call anytime, 24/7
• Get questions answered by context-aware AI
• Instantly book time on your calendar

It’s fast, seamless, and automated — delivering always-on scheduling without the cost of always-on staffing.

Why this integration matters

Calendly is the leading scheduling platform for small and growing businesses — and now, Smith.ai is the first AI receptionist provider to offer a native integration via Calendly’s new Scheduling API.

While other platforms rely on complicated Zapier workflows, SMS outbound texts with booking links, and live staff follow-ups, our direct integration means:

• Higher conversion rates from new lead to first appointment 
• No technical maintenance of third-party apps
• Fully supported setup and maintenance

The result? A frictionless experience for you and your callers that requires no monitoring or upkeep on your part.

Why use an AI Receptionist for scheduling?

Simply connecting with a new lead over the phone isn’t enough — you need to stop their search and get them to pick your business. Scheduling a new client appointment is the surefire way to lock them in. As soon as a new lead books an appointment with your business, they’ll stop their search, and that’s what matters.

But scheduling is time consuming for us humans. Free your staff for more important work by offloading routine scheduling tasks to AI. There are so many benefits:

• Save time and reduce costs
• Improve response speed
• Eliminate human error and inconsistencies

AI Receptionist handles intake, qualification, and scheduling — so your team can focus on what matters most.
