Reception workflow

Give any business a front desk that answers, books, routes, and follows up.

The AI receptionist page provisions the existing AgentCrafty receptionist template. The business can tune the script, connect booking, route calls by purpose, and notify the team without starting from a blank agent.

Answers the main line

Greets callers, understands the reason for the call, answers configured business facts and FAQs, screens spam, and keeps the conversation focused.

Books or queues appointments

Uses connected booking settings when available, or captures appointment-ready details, intake answers, and lead qualification notes for team review.

Routes messages, chat, and email requests

Collects caller name, phone, email, reason, urgency, and preferred follow-up window, then notifies the right team channel, email path, or CRM-style workflow.

Handles more than missed calls

Supports outbound follow-up, live transfer requests, vendor messages, billing routing, payment request handoffs, after-hours capture, and escalation rules.

Reception handoff

Start with phone coverage. Add calendar, email, CRM, and webhook actions as each business connects them.

The receptionist avoids claiming an appointment, email, account update, or policy decision is complete unless a configured action confirms it. Without a connector, it captures the request and sends a clean handoff to the team.

Business information

Approved public facts about the business, products, services, locations, hours, support paths, intake steps, FAQs, and safe next steps.

Appointment request

Caller name, phone, reason, preferred date/time, service, urgency, and booking status from the configured provider.

Lead qualification and intake

Qualifies new prospects, captures intake answers, identifies caller type, and logs complete context before a human follows up.

Message capture

Callback details, department, summary, urgency, and preferred follow-up window for the front desk queue.

Email follow-up

Captures email-related requests and notifies the team. Inbox reading can be added later through a dedicated email connector.

Routing and escalation

Sales, support, billing, vendor, manager, urgent, after-hours, live transfer, and human handoff paths stay editable per workspace.

Payment and account requests

Captures payment, billing, and account-update requests for staff review. Payment processing can be added through a configured provider action.

Outbound follow-up

Can call back leads, confirm details, remind customers, or collect missing information when campaigns are enabled.

How it provisions

One receptionist line for calls, appointments, messages, and follow-up.

The vertical page creates a normal AgentCrafty workspace. The business can edit the prompt, add approved business knowledge and FAQs, connect calendars and notifications, assign or forward numbers, route different call types, and add CRM, chat, payment, or email connectors over time.
