Step-by-step setup guide
Benefit: Missed calls get answered in under a second. The AI collects name, address and service, checks your calendar, books the job or estimate, and sends a confirmation.
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Tell it what can be booked. Go to Price Book, open each service and set Booking & scheduling preferences (duration, job vs estimate, who's assigned, time windows). These settings are shared with Online Booking.
Step 2. Configure CSR AI. Go to Team → AI Team → CSR AI. Turn on booking for jobs and estimates, rescheduling, cancellations and notifications.
Step 3. Set escalation rules. Decide what happens when a caller asks for a human during business hours versus after hours. Use a separate forwarding number so calls don't loop.
Step 4. Forward calls. Forward missed or after-hours calls to the CSR AI number.
Step 5. Review weekly. Read the call summaries. Housecall Pro says 26% of CSR AI bookings happen after hours, so check that those slots are staffed.
