Booked in one call
No call-back ping-pong. The caller leaves with a confirmed slot and you get the booking instantly.
Your calendar, your rules
Buffer times, travel zones, job durations, and no-go slots are all respected. We book like your best office manager would.
Works with your tools
Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, Acuity, Setmore, Clio, and more, connected during your 24-48 hour setup.
Fewer no-shows
Confirmation details go to the caller by SMS or email at booking, and we can make reminder calls as part of your flow.
What we do
The best time to book a caller is while they are on the phone; let them go and a share never come back. Pocket Receptionist receptionists schedule appointments live into Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, Acuity, Setmore, and the industry systems you already run, following your availability rules. Reschedules and cancellations are handled the same way, so your diary stays accurate without you touching it.

Book appointments during the first conversation
Receptionists work from live availability and your booking rules, so callers can choose a suitable slot without waiting for your team to call back.
More than adding a name to a calendar
We can collect the details needed for the appointment, apply service durations and buffers, confirm the booking, and follow your process for changes or cancellations.
- Live calendar availability
- Booking questions and notes
- Reschedules and cancellations
- Email or SMS confirmations
Fits the diary you already use
Connect a supported calendar or booking platform and keep one source of truth. Existing events remain visible, which helps prevent clashes and keeps your team informed.
