The AI receptionist that books into Google Calendar.
Ringmere answers the call, checks when you are really free, and puts the appointment in your Google Calendar before the caller hangs up. Included on every plan.
Ringmere connects to Google Calendar so its AI receptionist can book appointments during a phone call. It checks your live availability first, so it will not offer a slot that is already taken, then creates the event with the customer’s name, number and notes. Reschedules and cancellations made on a call update the same event. It is included on every plan, from £49 a month.
How it works
Connected in a minute, working on the next call.
Connect your Google account
In Settings, open Calendar and sign in with Google. Ringmere asks Google for two calendar permissions: read access, which it uses to see when you are busy, and permission to manage events, which it uses only for the bookings it makes.
It checks before it offers
On every call it reads your live busy times and offers only slots that are free, inside your opening hours, with your buffers and minimum notice applied. It checks again at the moment of booking.
The booking lands in your diary
The event appears with the service and the customer’s name in the title, and their phone number and any notes in the description. If the notes include a UK postcode, it becomes the event location, ready for directions.
What it does
- Books, reschedules and cancels during the call, and keeps the Google event in step each time.
- Reads other calendars as busy time too. If another app writes your jobs into a second Google calendar, as the booking app Goldie does, tick that calendar and Ringmere will work around those jobs as well. You can tick up to 25.
- Keeps a travel gap. The buffer you set on a service is also kept clear either side of jobs in those other calendars, so you are not booked back to back across town.
- Respects a minimum notice, so nobody books a slot twenty minutes from now while you are on another job.
- Adds a Google Meet link to each booking, if you switch that on.
Good to know
- It sees when you are busy, not what you are doing. On your main calendar Ringmere reads free and busy times only. On the extra calendars you tick, it uses only each event’s start and end time.
- It fails safe. If a calendar cannot be read, Ringmere offers no times rather than risk a double booking, carries on answering and taking messages, and emails you so you can reconnect.
- One Google calendar per business. Bookings are written to your main calendar. Staff hours and who can do which service are handled inside Ringmere, and more than one staff diary needs Growth or Pro.
- No Google Calendar? Ringmere has its own built-in diary and books against that instead.
- Your Google sign-in is never shared with our AI provider, the stored token is encrypted, and disconnecting deletes it at once. The detail is in our privacy policy.
