Frequently asked questions

Can the agent handle inquiries from multiple channels (email, forms, chat)?

Yes. The agent monitors your primary inquiry channels—email, website contact forms, and messaging platforms—and processes all incoming requests through a single unified system, ensuring no inquiry is missed.

What happens if an inquiry doesn't fit our typical event profile?

The agent identifies out-of-scope or complex requests and immediately flags them for your team's review. It may also forward unusual inquiries to your team with full context so they can decide whether to pursue or decline.

How does the agent know what to qualify for?

You configure the agent's qualification criteria upfront: minimum and maximum guest count, available dates, geographic service area, budget range, and event types you want to pursue. The agent applies these rules consistently to every inquiry.

Does the agent actually schedule consultations, or does it just collect interest?

The agent fully schedules consultations. For qualified leads, it offers your available time slots, confirms the prospect's preferred date and time, and automatically syncs the appointment to your calendar system and CRM.
