Prerequisites
- Housecall Pro with CSR AI / Coach AI / Pipeline features on your plan.
- Price Book services configured for booking.
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Make services bookable. Price Book → open each service → Booking & scheduling preferences (duration, job vs estimate, assignment, windows).
Step 2. Configure CSR AI. Team → AI Team → CSR AI → turn on booking jobs/estimates, reschedule, cancel, notifications. Set escalation for business hours vs after hours. Forward missed/after-hours calls to the CSR AI number.
Step 3. Use Coach AI on-site. Let Coach draft line-item quotes from historical labor/materials/margins; tech approves on the tablet (~90 seconds) — no night re-keying.
Step 4. Pipeline automations. Day-2 review-request text + 6-month maintenance text (e.g. water-heater flush). Keep dispatcher override.
Step 5. Practice. Spend a few mornings role-playing calls and tablet job creation before going fully live.
