Setup
  1. agent on the practice number → checks availability → books/reschedules → collects insurance → sends structured summaries
  2. HVAC checks urgency and books dispatch windows
  3. staff handoff out of scope
  4. pilot with defined eligible calls, correct bookings, transfers, failures
Step-by-step setup guide + copy-paste prompt

Honest note: this vendor sets it up with you; there's no self-serve menu. Below is what you prepare and decide, taken from the vendor's own published process. Steps and timings may differ slightly.

What you do (Benian's published pilot playbook)

Step 1. Pick one call type to start: after-hours or overflow only.

Step 2. Write the pilot terms: which calls are eligible, what counts as a correct booking, when it must transfer, and the kill criteria (for example more than 2 wrong bookings a week). Name one owner.

Step 3. Give the builder access to your calendar or practice system and your FAQ, insurance list (dental) or urgency rules (HVAC).

Step 4. Test real scenarios before launch: emergency, reschedule, insurance question, angry caller.

Step 5. Review transcripts weekly. Expand only after the targets hold for two weeks in a row.
