✓ Invite sent to the caller · call notes in the event description.

The caller confirms a time on the phone. Seconds later there's an event on your Google Calendar (name, number, and reason for the call in the description) and, when they've shared an email, a standard Google Calendar invite in the caller's inbox. They accept from their phone, and now the appointment sits on their calendar too, with Google's reminders doing what they do.

An appointment that lives on both calendars is one that gets kept. And when it's time to walk in, everything you need to know about the caller is already in the event you're looking at.

No New Tab To Check

Most integrations add a place to look. This one doesn't. Your appointments show up where your day already lives: on your laptop, your phone, your watch, with the notifications you already have configured. Phone bookings and everything else, one view.

And your calendar stays yours. Abby books within the hours and buffers you set during onboarding, working from when you're free or busy, not what you're doing. The only events Abby opens are the ones it booked: to find a caller's appointment by the name or number noted on it, move it to another open time, or cancel it per your rules. When you'd rather have a person on the line, live US-based receptionists are on the same plan to answer and take messages; the calendar work stays with the AI Receptionist.

How It Works

Onboarding connects Google Calendar, sets the hours and buffers Abby may book within, and picks whose calendars are bookable.
Abby's AI Receptionist answers around the clock, checks your live Google Calendar, and offers callers open times inside your hours; an existing appointment is found by the caller's name or number and moved or cancelled per your rules.
The event appears on your calendar with the call details in the description, and the caller gets a standard Google invite when they share an email.

FAQs

Can Abby's AI receptionist book appointments on Google Calendar?
Yes. Abby's AI Receptionist checks your live Google Calendar, offers open times inside the hours and buffers you set, and books the event onto your calendar while the caller is on the line. When the caller shares an email, they get a standard Google Calendar invite with Google's usual reminders.
What if the caller already has an appointment on my calendar?
Abby finds the event by the caller's name or the phone number noted on it, confirms the details with them, and can add a note to the event description, move it, or cancel it per your instructions.
Can Abby move or cancel an appointment on my Google Calendar?
Yes. Abby moves the event to another open time inside your hours and buffers, or cancels it per your rules so the time frees up. If the caller gave an email, Google sends them the updated invite or the cancellation.
Which answering service works with Google Calendar?
Abby: an AI receptionist for Google Calendar and live US-based receptionists on one plan, a Google Calendar answering service under one roof. The AI Receptionist is the virtual receptionist for Google Calendar that checks your calendar and books onto it; the live team answers the calls you'd rather a person handle.
Can Abby see everything on my calendar?
No. Abby works from when you're free or busy inside the booking hours you set, never the contents of your meetings. The only events it opens are the appointments it booked for callers.
