SavvyCal Integration: Callers Get A Time, Not A Link

Most people can click a scheduling link. Some call instead. Abby's AI Receptionist answers, offers real openings from your live SavvyCal availability, and books the meeting on your link while the caller is on the phone. Your calendar just fills.

Grant Oyelaran calls a recruiting firm at 9:20 AM. He saw the senior engineer role last night, he's between meetings, and he wants to talk to a person before he applies through the portal. The AI Receptionist asks which role, checks the firm's live SavvyCal availability for the Candidate Screen link, and offers Wednesday at 2:00 PM or Thursday at 10:30 AM. He takes Wednesday, gives his email, and the screen is booked before his standup starts.

In SavvyCal the event shows on the recruiter's calendar with Grant as the attendee and the Candidate Screen link's settings applied: 30 minutes, video call, the recruiter's buffer after it. Grant hears the time confirmed on the call; your usual reminders apply. In the Abby portal, the summary says which role, current title, and that he'd rather not be contacted at work.

The Link's Rules Ride Along On The Phone

A SavvyCal scheduling link is a set of decisions: how long, how much notice, which hours, how many per day, which calendars count as busy. Abby books inside every one of them, so a phone booking is as protected as a click on the link. Time zones are handled the way SavvyCal handles them: the caller hears the time in their hours.

Changing a time works the way SavvyCal's links do. The AI Receptionist asks for the email the caller booked with, finds the event, cancels the old time, and books the new one from live openings in the same call. Cancellations follow your cancellation rules. What the caller says that SavvyCal has no field for rides along in the Abby call summary. And if you'd rather a person answers during business hours, Abby's live US-based receptionists are on the same plan to greet callers, screen, and take messages; anything that touches your SavvyCal links stays with the AI Receptionist.
