You’ve set up your Appointlet booking page. It’s clean, it’s easy, it syncs with your calendar. People can book a haircut or a consultation or a property showing whenever they want, no phone tag required.
And yet.
Some people still call.
Maybe they have a quick question before booking. Maybe they’re driving and don’t want to fiddle with a website. Maybe they’re your dad’s age and calling is just how they do things.
Whatever the reason, they pick up the phone, and if you’re a solo practitioner or a small team without a dedicated receptionist, that call goes to voicemail.
Which is a problem, people don’t leave messages anymore. They hang up and call the next place on their list, and you lose out on valuable business (and no one wants that).
Enter Rosie
Rosie is an AI answering service built for exactly this situation. When you can’t pick up, or when you just don’t want to interrupt the client in front of you, Rosie answers the phone, handles basic questions, and can now book appointments directly into your calendar.
No scheduling link required.
No “I’ll text you our booking page.”
Just, “I can get you in Thursday at 2pm. Does that work?”
The caller confirms, the appointment lands on your calendar, and you find out about it via text or email. Done.
Why this matters for Appointlet users
Rosie just added Appointlet as one of their direct calendar integrations. So if you’re already using Appointlet, Rosie plugs right in.
That means you get the best of both worlds: self-service booking for the people who prefer it, and a phone option for the people who don’t. You’re not choosing one or the other, you’re covering both bases without hiring anyone.
For a salon owner mid-blowout, a therapist between sessions, a professor teaching a class, or a property manager showing a unit, this is the difference between capturing a lead and losing one.
How it works
Getting set up is pretty quick:
- Sign up for Rosie (they have a 7-day free trial)
- Connect your Appointlet account in Rosie’s integration settings
- Toggle on “Schedule Directly” in your Appointments settings
- Forward your calls to Rosie when you’re unavailable (or all the time, your call)
Rosie learns your business info, your hours, your services. You can add FAQs, customize the greeting, filter spam calls. The direct booking feature is available on their Scale plan and up.
Give it a look
If you’ve ever wondered what happens to those calls you can’t answer, Rosie might be worth checking out. Try Rosie free for 7 days and see if it fills the gap.
Your booking page handles the people who want to book online. Now you’ve got something for the ones who’d rather just call.
