At a glance
Defined by the workflow, not only the voice
Booking by phone requires more than calendar access. A caller may request the wrong service, live outside the coverage area, or have an urgent problem that should not wait for the next open slot.
VocalOps evaluates rules before availability: service type, duration, resources, territory, prerequisites, hours, and exceptions.

FAQ
AI scheduling questions
Which calendars are compatible?
Compatibility depends on your tool and required actions. We validate read/write access, permissions, and fields before promising automated booking.
Can the agent reschedule an appointment?
Yes when the scenario, authentication, and integration permit it. Otherwise it records the request for human follow-up.
What if no available time works?
The agent can offer approved alternatives, create a callback request, or transfer according to your rule.
Can it recognize an existing customer?
Only when an appropriate data source and identification method are configured.
