Your receptionist asks the questions on your form (in order, in your wording) and submits it when the call ends. The entry shows up in your Jotform inbox and Tables like any web fill: same columns, same filters, same exports.
Everything you've attached to the form still happens. Notification emails go out, the autoresponder can thank the caller if an email was collected, and whatever you've connected downstream treats the entry as exactly what it is: a new submission.
Your Questions, Asked Out Loud
A form is a set of decisions you already made: what to ask, what's required, in what order. Abby's receptionists work from those same decisions on the phone: required fields always answered, your phrasing kept, so phone entries match the data quality of your web fills.
And where a question doesn't fit a phone call, your instructions win. Skip it, reword it, or capture it in the notes. You control the script the same way you control the form.
From The Conversation To The Columns
| From the call | Where it lands in Jotform |
|---|
| Caller name & contact info | Your form's name, phone, and email fields |
| What they need | The request / description field |
| Your qualifying questions | The matching form fields · required ones always asked |
| Preferred time or deadline | Date and scheduling fields |
| How they heard about you | Your source dropdown |
| Receptionist's call summary | A notes field, if your form has one |
Your actual Jotform drives the mapping. Onboarding walks the form with you, field by field.
What Flows Through It
Service requests by phoneThe caller describes the job; your receptionist completes the same request form your website visitors use. Dispatch works one queue.
Registrations and sign-upsEvent and program sign-ups taken over the phone land in the same submission table you're already exporting.
Your notifications keep workingBecause phone entries are real submissions, the notification emails and workflows you've attached to the form fire for them too.
After-hours intakeA 9 PM call is a submission by 9:05, reviewed with the morning's batch, nothing transcribed from voicemail.
How It Works
1Onboarding connects your Jotform and turns the form into the script your receptionists follow.
2Abby answers 24/7; when a call matches the form, the receptionist completes it during the conversation.
3The entry lands in your Jotform submissions like any web fill, notifications and connected workflows included.
FAQs
Can a virtual receptionist fill out my Jotform?
Yes, Abby's receptionists complete your Jotform during the call, following your fields and required questions. It arrives in your account as a normal submission.
Will my Jotform email notifications still fire?
Yes. Phone entries are real submissions, so notification emails, autoresponders, and anything you've connected to the form behave exactly as they do for web fills.
Can I tell phone entries apart from web submissions?
If you want to. A dropdown or hidden field can mark the entry as phone-sourced, so your Tables filters and exports can split the channels.
Can Abby edit a submission a caller already made online?
No. Abby creates new submissions from calls; existing entries are never touched. Callers asking about an existing request are handled per your instructions instead.
What if my form changes?
Update your Jotform, tell your Abby team, and the call script is updated to match. Changes are part of the service, not a project.
