Property Managers FAQ

How does the receptionist handle after-hours maintenance?

It asks about property address and unit number, whether the issue is active or contained, and whether staff can access the unit, then captures the caller's name and preferred time. If the call mentions unit number or tenant portal, the receptionist keeps the notes specific and follows the business's approved booking or staff-review rule.

What details are collected for tenant access permission?

The receptionist collects practical details such as property address and unit number, whether the issue is active or contained, and whether staff can access the unit. It can also include notes about maintenance request or water intrusion so staff have useful context before confirming the next step.

Can it answer owner and tenant routing?

It answers only from the information the business provides. If the caller asks about access permission or after-hours emergency and the approved answer is missing, the receptionist books the next step or captures a callback request instead of guessing.

What details does the receptionist collect for property managers?

It asks for the caller's name, preferred time, and the details needed for a real maintenance visit. For this page, that means asking about property address and unit number, whether the issue is active or contained, whether staff can access the unit before it books or prepares a staff note.

How does it handle urgent property managers calls?

The receptionist follows the urgent-call rules you approve. It can flag calls that mention unit number, tenant portal, maintenance request, capture the address and context, and either book the next available time or prepare the call for staff review based on your settings.

What calendar can it use for bookings?

It can place appointments on the built-in calendar. If connected calendar availability has been set up for the account, it can use those open times; otherwise it collects preferred times so staff can confirm the appointment. This keeps the answer clear while still guiding the caller toward a real appointment or callback.
