Can an AI receptionist book into SimplyBook.me?
SimplyBook.me allows it. Its API reads services, providers and availability and creates bookings. We have not built the connection yet.
SimplyBook.me's API covers services, providers, time slots, clients and booking creation and cancellation, with API keys from the admin area.
Today the AI answers, quotes from your onboarding, texts the caller your SimplyBook.me page during the call, and sends your team anything that needs a person.
If you book on SimplyBook.me, tell us. The vendor side is open and we build against your account.
Today: answered, quoted, and the booking link in their hand.
Until the integration ships, the AI answers every call, answers questions from your onboarding, texts the caller your booking link while they are on the phone, and sends your team anything that needs a person.
Every assistant opens with your business name, the recording notice, and an introduction as an AI assistant. Anyone who asks for a person gets one.
Before we connect SimplyBook.me.
The vendor sets most of these conditions, not us. Knowing them up front is the difference between a two-day setup and a surprise.
- A SimplyBook.me account with the API feature enabled
- Services and providers set up with durations
- Your public booking page link, so the AI can text it in the meantime
Where the AI books for real, and where it can't yet.
Some booking systems let outside software write appointments. Some do not, and no vendor can change that. We keep the vendor's side and our side separate, and we update the list as we prove each system.
The full comparison, every systemQuestions owners ask about SimplyBook.me.
Can the AI book into SimplyBook.me today?
Not yet as a direct write. The vendor's API is open; we build the connection against the first customer who needs it. Today the AI answers, quotes from your onboarding, texts the caller your SimplyBook.me booking link during the call, and sends your team anything that needs a person.
What will change when the integration ships?
The AI will read live availability from SimplyBook.me, offer real times, and create the appointment on the call. Nothing changes on your phones or your number; we switch the tool on for your account.
What do I need to have ready?
A SimplyBook.me account with the API enabled and your services set up.
Does the AI tell callers it's an AI?
Yes. Right after your business name it says the call may be recorded for quality assurance, then introduces itself as an AI assistant. Callers can ask for a person at any time.
Do I need to change my phone number?
No. We forward your existing number, or port it onto our phone system if you want us to run the whole thing. Your customers never notice.
Not sure what you are running?
Tell us what you book on and we will tell you plainly what we can and cannot do with it, before you pay for anything.
