Gabrielle calls about an October wedding at The Fig House while you're three hours into a shoot. Abby answers as your studio, captures the date, the venue, and how she found you, and asks if she'd like your pricing guide by email.
She would. She joins your Wedding Inquiries segment, and the workflow you designed takes over: the guide, then the portfolio story, each email looking exactly like your brand. You come back to a warm lead, not a voicemail.
On Brand, Even On The Phone
You chose Flodesk because how things look matters to your business: your emails are part of the experience you sell. The phone should be too. An unreturned voicemail undoes what your brand works hard to promise.
Abby answers the way you would: warm, unhurried, in your studio's name. The caller's details land in Flodesk, your segment sorts them, and your beautifully designed workflow sends the follow-up, so the first call and the first email feel like the same studio.

FAQs
Does Abby's virtual receptionist work with Flodesk?
Yes, and so does our AI receptionist option. Either way, your calls are answered in your studio's name and consenting callers land in your Flodesk segments.
Which segment do callers join?
The one that fits the call. At onboarding we map your call reasons to your segments so each workflow fires for the right people.
Do my Flodesk workflows start automatically?
Yes, a segment join from a call triggers your workflow exactly as a form signup would. The emails, timing, and design are all yours.
Will callers get emails they didn't agree to?
Never. Abby asks first, in wording you approve. A caller who declines still shows up in your call summary, just not on your list.
I'm a solo photographer. How does Abby answer as my studio?
With your greeting and your script. Callers hear your studio's name and get your answers; most never realize you were mid-shoot.
