How does appointment booking by phone work?
With Google Calendar connected, Kalyvox can go beyond taking a message: it checks authorised availability and books during the call when your workflow allows it.
1. Understand the appointment request
The reason determines which questions to ask and which duration or calendar to use according to your setup.
2. Capture required details
Name, contact details and any service-specific information are collected before looking for a slot.
3. Check availability
Kalyvox checks Google Calendar and only offers slots compatible with your configured rules.
4. Book or hand off
If direct booking is enabled, the chosen slot is added to the calendar. Otherwise the request and preferred availability are sent to your team.
Data captured
What can be captured during the call?
- Appointment type
- Name and contact details
- Service-specific information
- Authorised slots
- Expected duration
- Relevant calendar
