BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Traditional management
A staff member manually checks the schedule, calls or emails each customer. In case of absence, they must re-contact customers to reschedule. It is slow, expensive, and prone to errors.
Management with Swiftask + 8x8 Connect
The AI agent triggers an SMS or voice message via 8x8 Connect at the right time. The customer confirms or requests a change. The schedule is updated in real time without human intervention.
Set up your appointment assistant in 4 steps
STEP 1 : Define your communication rules
Configure in Swiftask when and how to send your reminders: 24h before, 1h before, via SMS or voice call.
STEP 2 : Connect 8x8 Connect
Integrate your 8x8 Connect API credentials into Swiftask to enable messaging via their global infrastructure.
STEP 3 : Automate the trigger
Connect your calendar or CRM tool to Swiftask so that every new appointment automatically triggers the reminder cycle.
STEP 4 : Handle responses
