Questions? Answers!

What allows Smith.ai to integrate with multiple calendaring platforms?

Unlike most other services, Smith.ai does not have proprietary appointment or calendaring software you are required to use. We pride ourselves on being flexible, and we like to keep things simple. We integrate the best calendaring software solutions embeddable widgets into the tools our virtual receptionists use to answer your calls. This simultaneously avoids the time-consuming headaches of calendar migration and eliminates the need for you to share personal information like usernames and passwords (a very bad idea indeed). We offer simplicity and security!

What calendar software works with Smith.ai?

Calendar integration with ReceptionHQ requires using their software, MyCalendar. At Smith, We can integrate with nearly all popular calendaring services including Calendly, Google Calendar, Youcanbook.me, and Square Appointments. Additionally, We are diligently working to extend our integration support to many more platforms. (Is yours not on the list? Let us know!)

How is the service different?

ReceptionHQ offers different plans, each devoted to either message taking, voicemail, live receptionist service, or appointment setting. The MyAssistant plan includes live receptionist service and appointment setting (for an additional setup fee), but at a per minute rate, with the option to transfer calls and send text messages for an additional charge. We offer all of these features — including scheduling appointments and live transfers— in one service, for no additional cost. Our receptionists will even transcribe voicemails received after hours!

Will You Transfer My Calls?

Yes, we will. We offer live transfer of calls for free! When an urgent or high priority call comes in, your Smith agent will attempt to connect you directly. If you are not available, we will send you an instant call summary via SMS or email. We can also help you set up automatic transfer for nights or weekends.
