FAQ’S
What similarities do they have?
- You can have multiple scripts on the same account
- Can support both the Intelligent Answer Bot and Live Reception at the same time
- Warm Transfer (similar to call screening) will allow a customer to accept a call with a yes.
- Extension CHR setups will be followed through completely every time it is transferred to an extension. For example, if the extension rings the mobile app, then forwards to an external number, both actions will be followed prior to the scripting next destination
- Charges are billed per script, and annual billing is due the moment the script is made for the remainder of the cycle.
Why would I choose one over the other?
Our Live Reception service is ideal for businesses that want to provide white glove service to callers during business hours. The receptionists are capable of setting appointments, providing basic business information, and getting calls and messages to the right team members.
The Intelligent Answer Bot is an inexpensive (for now, free) solution that doesn't use real humans but is still able to screen and route calls efficiently and effectively. Some customers use the Intelligent Answer Bot to manage calls after hours or on days when Live Reception is not available.
