A better experience for customers, more bookings for the business
Previously, when a customer asked to book a haircut and beard trim, your AI receptionist could only handle one service at a time. The customer would book the first service, then loop back through the entire booking flow again for the second—by which time, the best available slot might be gone.
That friction is gone. Your AI receptionist now detects multi-service requests, finds a single time block that covers all selected services, and confirms the entire appointment in one go.
What's included
Multi-intent booking detection
— When customers say "I need a haircut and a beard trim," your AI understands both services in a single request and books them together.
Smart availability matching
— The AI finds time slots where all selected services can run back-to-back in a contiguous block, respecting duration, buffer times, and provider availability.
Service menu in the chat or voice flow
— Customers see your configured services as a simple numbered list (in chat) or spoken options (in voice) and can select multiple services.
Flexible service grouping
— Configure each service group as Single Select (e.g., choice of haircut styles) or Multi Select (e.g., add-ons like head massage or beard trim). Mix and match within the same menu.
Phone-number-only booking
— Option to require only a phone number for booking (no email) with SMS as the notification channel. Works for both Chat and Voice Receptionists.
Automatic intake deduplication
— If multiple services ask for the same field (e.g., "Phone Number"), customers answer once.
Single CRM record
— The entire multi-service session logs as one activity in the CRM, not separate entries per service.
Works for Chat and Voice
— Both AI Chat and AI Voice Receptionists support multi-service booking. Each must be configured separately.
Why it's important
Multi-service booking reduces friction and increases conversion. Customers get what they need in one interaction instead of repeating the booking flow. For service-based businesses especially, such as salons, spas, home services, medical offices, this is a major convenience improvement that drives higher customer satisfaction and captures more revenue per interaction.
Who it's for
  • Service businesses offering multiple related services (haircuts + beard trim, cleaning packages, medical consultations)
  • Franchises and multi-location businesses managing complex service menus
  • Businesses using AI Receptionist for appointment handling
  • Teams looking to reduce booking friction and improve customer experience

FAQs
Can customers reschedule or cancel a multi-service booking?
Customers can reschedule or cancel the entire appointment block. Rescheduling or canceling individual services within a session will be available soon.
What if different services have different notification channels?
If services in a session have mixed notification settings (some email, some SMS), customers receive both email and SMS confirmations.
Do existing single-service menus change?
No. The "Allow Multi-Selection" toggle defaults to OFF for existing menus. Your current customers experience no change unless you opt in.
Do I need to set up both Chat and Voice?
No. Chat and Voice Receptionists are independent. Enable multi-service booking for whichever channels your business uses, or both if you want the feature everywhere.
What if I'm already using the old Book Appointments capability?
You'll be automatically migrated to Book Multi-Service Appointment in early July. No action needed: your current bookings continue without interruption. The new capability handles single and multi-service bookings, so it's a drop-in replacement.
Can I require only a phone number (no email) for booking?
Yes. Use the phone-number-only booking option in the new Book Multi-Service Appointment capability and set SMS as the notification channel.
