Questions
Is Benny a real person?
No. Benny is an automated texting assistant that writes like a friendly person at your front desk. If a caller asks for a real person, he lets them know someone will call back and flags it for you.
Can he use a different name?
Yes. Benny is the default. You can change his texting name anytime in your dashboard.
Does it work with my booking software?
Today Benny texts you every booking the moment it’s made, so you can add it to whatever you already use. Direct connections to booking tools are on the way.
Do I have to change my phone number?
No. Your number stays the same. You turn on one forwarding setting so calls you don’t answer go to Benny instead of voicemail.
Which number do the texts come from?
A dedicated local number for your business, and every text says your business name. Texting from your existing number is possible for some landlines; we check that during setup.
Does it work with my carrier?
Most carriers and office phone systems support forwarding unanswered calls. Some plans don’t, so we test your line with a real call before you sign up.
What if someone needs to talk to a person?
If a caller asks for a person or mentions an emergency, Benny stops texting and flags them for you to call back.
Can customers opt out?
Yes. Replying STOP ends the texts right away.
