Quick Answer
tl;dr: LeadTruffle’s AI voice agent answers incoming calls forwarded to your dedicated LeadTruffle number. It collects the caller’s service needs, location, and timing, then supports your configured next step: a live transfer, appointment booking, tentative scheduling, or a callback. Direct booking requires a connected, supported CRM or calendar.

Set the tone before the first ring
Your phone setup.
Your business voice.
Keep your existing business number and forward calls to your dedicated LeadTruffle number. Depending on your phone provider, you can forward unanswered, busy, after-hours, or all calls. LeadTruffle answers calls that reach that number; forwarding must be configured.
Plan coverage for evenings and weekends with after-hours lead capture.

A few useful details
Questions, answered.
Get familiar with call forwarding, qualification, booking, and human handoff.
What is an AI voice agent for home services?
It is AI call answering that greets callers and collects job details, such as service needs, location, and timing. LeadTruffle handles incoming calls routed to your dedicated LeadTruffle number and supports configured next steps for your team.
Can I keep my current business phone number?
Yes. Set up forwarding from your existing phone system to your dedicated LeadTruffle number. Your provider determines whether you can forward unanswered, busy, after-hours, or all calls. Test forwarding before going live.
Can I configure call transfers and transfer hours?
You can save transfer destinations, routing criteria, hours, and emergency guidance to help the AI select a transfer path. Treat hours as routing guidance rather than a guaranteed cutoff. Test the behavior for your account and voice provider, including what happens when nobody answers.
What happens when a caller needs a person?
A configured live transfer can attempt to connect the caller to your team during the call. Separate call recaps and urgent email or SMS alerts can flag calls needing attention. Human Escalation supports later team follow-up. Configure and test the path for times when nobody is available.
Can the AI book an appointment during a call?
Direct booking is available when a supported CRM or calendar is connected and configured for booking. You can also choose tentative scheduling for later confirmation or callback-only handling. Availability depends on your integration and account setup.
Does it work with SMS follow-up and missed-call text back?
When enabled and eligible, callers can switch to text during a call, and post-call analysis can select an appropriate configured SMS follow-up. Texting requires the applicable messaging registration; US 10DLC requirements apply where relevant. A successful switch-to-text handoff suppresses the separate post-call message. Missed-call text back is a separate workflow that can fit your phone setup.
Does Smart Call Router support Canadian numbers?
Setup supports Canadian local numbers and North American toll-free router numbers, subject to country and number availability. Available controls depend on the account and voice provider.
