We’re here to help you throughout your journey of growing your clientele and organizing your day. To keep your calendar organized, our virtual receptionists will need access to any scheduling applications you’re currently using.
If you use Acuity Scheduling to manage your client appointments, we’ll need your calendar direct links to start booking appointments on your behalf. Here are a few tips for navigating your Acuity Scheduling dashboard and finding your calendar direct links.
Please note: Our appointment scheduling service is an optional add-on and will incur an extra fee. View current pricing for this and all other add-on services.
