Made for appointment-based pros

You can't text with your hands in oil, dye or ink.

A client texts during an appointment. By the time you see it, they've booked elsewhere. In the evening you catch up on texts instead of resting. Comptoir Texto answers for you, with your prices, hours and policies, and never guesses.

Features

Everything a receptionist would do, by text

Set up with your services, prices and hours. Never made up.

Answers in seconds

Days, evenings and weekends. Prices, address, parking, policies: all from your answers, never made up.

Books in your schedule

It only offers your free times, with no double booking. Works with Google Calendar.

Automatic reminders

Clients get a reminder the day before. Fewer no-shows.

Missed calls caught

Can't pick up? The caller gets a text and can book right away.

English and French

It answers in the client's language and switches when they do.

Inappropriate requests filtered

Clear cases are declined and blocked. Doubtful ones come to you, with no automatic reply.

Your phone

You stay in control

Your phone only gets what matters. Reply yourself any time: the assistant steps back as soon as you write.

  • Every morning, the day's appointments
  • A note for every booking, move or cancellation
  • Questions it can't handle, for you to answer
  • Pause it with one text when you want to handle everything

FAQ

Questions

Do I need to change my cell number?

No. Clients text your business number, new or transferred. Calls are forwarded to your cell, which stays private.

Can I keep my current number?

Yes, if it's a business number (landline, VoIP or a work-only cell). If it's also your personal cell, get a new number instead: a transferred number stops working on your cell plan.

What if the assistant doesn't know the answer?

It never guesses. It tells the client you'll reply personally and passes the question to you.

Do clients know it's an assistant?

Yes. It introduces itself as your virtual assistant in its first message.

Can I reply myself?

Any time. As soon as you answer a client, the assistant steps back. Text 'pause' to stop it completely.

Do I need to install an app?

No. Everything happens by text, from your phone.
