Scheduling rules we map
- Eligible services and appointment types
- Coverage area and travel boundaries
- Operating hours and available calendars
- Lead time, buffers, and appointment length
- Information required before a booking
- Situations that require staff review instead
Booking versus requesting
Some businesses want eligible callers booked immediately. Others prefer to collect a request and have staff confirm it. CallShift can be designed for either approach, with clear language so the caller knows whether the time is confirmed or pending.
Keep exceptions out of the calendar
When a request falls outside the approved criteria, the workflow can gather a message, identify an alternate next step, or send the call for review instead of forcing an unsuitable booking.
