Introduction to Phone Booking [New]
Phone Booking allows your guests to schedule a meeting or leave a message as a fallback option using natural language over a phone call. This is a no-setup feature that uses your Booking Calendar’s existing availability and settings to create a conversational scheduling experience.
To see if Phone Booking fits your scheduling needs, take a look at our When to Use Phone Booking for Scheduling article for more details.
How Phone Booking Works
Section titled “How Phone Booking Works”Each Booking Calendar or Booking Hub can have its own dedicated phone number, allowing guests to interact with the AI-driven Phone Booking feature and easily schedule meetings.
For more information on how to get started, see our article on How to Generate a Phone Number for Your Booking Calendar.
The Guest Experience
Section titled “The Guest Experience”When a guest calls the dedicated phone number for your Booking Calendar or Booking Hub, the Phone Booking feature answers with your personalized welcome message. From there it begins a conversation with your guest by offering two options:
- Schedule a meeting: Your guest will be guided through the process of booking a meeting.
- Leave a message: Your guest will be able to leave a message for the host.
When a guest chooses to schedule a meeting, the Phone Booking feature will first schedule the meeting and then ask the free text questions that you have set up in your Booking Calendar’s Booking form.
