    FAQ

    Questions We Hear Most.

    Bring anything else to the discovery call and we'll walk through it against your setup.

    What exactly does the AI front desk handle?

    The routine, repeatable parts of your front desk: answering inbound calls, handling common questions, qualifying leads, booking, rescheduling and cancelling appointments, updating customer records, and sending confirmations and follow-ups by text or email. What it handles, and what it passes to your team, is configured for your business.

    Can Ironcrest work with our existing CRM?

    In most cases, yes. We connect through supported native integrations, APIs or webhooks, depending on what your CRM supports. We confirm compatibility during discovery, before any build work begins.

    Can calls be transferred to a real person?

    Yes. Callers can ask for a person, and you define the situations that trigger a live transfer or an urgent alert, such as emergencies, complaints or high-value quotes. Your team receives the conversation summary so the customer doesn't have to repeat themselves.

    Can it schedule appointments?

    Yes. It books, reschedules and cancels against your real availability, following your rules for job types, service areas, appointment lengths and buffers.

    What happens if the AI cannot handle a request?

    It doesn't guess. It works from the information and rules you approve. When a request falls outside them, it tells the customer a team member will follow up, captures the details and routes them to the right person, or transfers the call if you've set it up that way.

    Can the system work outside business hours?

    Yes. It can run 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. You decide how after-hours conversations are handled: book the next available slot, capture details for a morning callback, or alert an on-call team member.

    How long does implementation take?

    It depends on scope: the number of workflows, the systems involved and how much testing your use case needs. We map your workflows, design the system, connect your software, test it with realistic calls, then launch in stages. You'll get a timeline for your project after the discovery call.

    Is every system customized?

    Yes. Every deployment is configured around your services, qualification questions, scheduling rules, tools and escalation paths. There's no one-size-fits-all script.

    Your Next Opportunity Shouldn't Depend on Whether Someone Can Pick Up the Phone.
