Taking Messages ≠ Booking Jobs

Traditional answering services answer the phone, take a message, and email you the details. Then YOU have to call the customer back, play phone tag, and try to find a time that works.

By the time you connect, they've already booked with someone else. You paid for the answering service AND lost the job.

You need a system that doesn't just answer—it closes. Ironline asks the right questions, checks your calendar, and books the appointment before the customer hangs up. That's how you 3x your booking rate.

How It Works

From Call to Confirmed Appointment in Minutes

Books Directly to Your Calendar

Ironline sees your availability in real-time, suggests times, and adds confirmed appointments directly to your calendar. No manual entry, no back-and-forth.

Instant Confirmation

Customer gets a confirmation text before they hang up. You get a notification with job details. Everything's documented before the call ends.

Integrates With Your Tools

Works with ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, and most major scheduling platforms. Syncs both ways—reads availability, writes appointments.

No Double-Bookings

Ironline checks your calendar in real-time before confirming. If you're booked, it suggests the next available slot. Zero conflicts, ever.

Common Questions

What scheduling software does Ironline work with?

ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, Google Calendar, and most platforms with API access. We can also work with custom setups. If you use something else, just ask—we integrate with new platforms regularly.

Can it handle different appointment types (estimates vs. service vs. emergency)?

Yes. You define the appointment types and Ironline books accordingly. Estimates might be 30-minute slots, repairs are 2 hours, and emergencies get priority or immediate dispatch depending on your rules.

What if my calendar is full?

Ironline suggests the next available slot based on your calendar. If you're booked solid this week, it'll offer next week's openings. You can also set it to add to a waitlist or overflow queue.

Does it collect payment or just book the time?

It books the appointment and can collect payment if your system supports it (e.g., ServiceTitan invoicing). Most contractors collect payment on-site, so Ironline focuses on getting the appointment locked in.

Can I review bookings before they're confirmed?

You can set approval rules. For most routine bookings, Ironline confirms immediately. For high-value jobs or custom requests, it can book as 'pending' and text you for approval before confirming with the customer.

What about no-shows? Does Ironline send reminders?

Yes. Ironline sends automated reminder texts 24 hours before the appointment and again 2 hours before. Reduces no-shows significantly and keeps your schedule running smoothly.
