Frequently asked questions
How does the agent know which technician is available?
The agent connects to your scheduling system (Google Calendar, ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, etc.) via API and checks real-time availability. It books only into slots your team has marked open for appointments.
Can it handle customers who need emergency same-day service?
Yes. The agent can flag urgent requests separately, prioritize same-day slots if available, or route emergency calls directly to your dispatcher after initial qualifying questions.
What if a customer calls about a job that's too complex to book?
The agent gathers details (address, service type, photos if relevant), confirms you received the request, and escalates to a human estimator. It doesn't force a booking for jobs requiring site assessment first.
How long does deployment take?
ifolabs typically deploys the booking agent in 5–10 business days, depending on your calendar integration complexity and custom confirmation workflows needed for your trade service.
Does it send reminders automatically?
Yes. The agent sends SMS or email reminders 24 hours before appointments, reducing no-shows. You control the message and reminder timing during setup.
