Guided setup, included.
Our team connects it with you, usually within 1-2 business days. Choose Connect, answer three quick questions, and a
setup specialist schedules a short session with your Acuity Scheduling admin, connects it and tests
it on your account before callers rely on it. Anything Squarespace needs first, such as a
plan level or partner approval, is listed under Good to know.
Booking turns on with the AI receptionist. We connect Acuity Scheduling now; until that is switched on for your line, the receptionist takes a message instead.
What it will do on a call
- A caller asks for an appointment. The receptionist checks open times in Acuity Scheduling, offers two or three, reads the one they pick back to them and books it only after they say yes.
- A caller needs to move or cancel. The receptionist finds the booking that matches the number they are calling from and changes it in Acuity Scheduling once they confirm.
- A returning customer calls. The receptionist recognises the number in Acuity Scheduling and greets them by first name, without reading out anything private.
What you can do with it
- A client calls during a session to rebook next week and gets a real time without you picking up.
- A new caller books an intro session after hours.
- A returning client is greeted by first name and moves their appointment in one call.
