Turn phone calls into TidyCal bookings

SkipCalls answers the call, finds open times in your TidyCal booking types, and creates the confirmed appointment while the caller is still on the line.

Use TidyCal without stopping to answer the phone

TidyCal manages the schedule. SkipCalls manages the conversation. The receptionist collects the caller's details, reads provider availability, and books only after the caller accepts a specific time.

Keep TidyCal as the schedule source

Booking types, durations, buffers, existing bookings, and available capacity stay under TidyCal's control.

Collect an email before booking

TidyCal requires the guest's email. SkipCalls asks for it before attempting to create the appointment.

Track the provider booking

The resulting TidyCal booking ID remains attached to the SkipCalls appointment and originating call.

How the TidyCal connection works

The connection uses a Personal Access Token from a TidyCal plan with API access.

Connect your TidyCal account

Create a Personal Access Token in TidyCal and add it to SkipCalls. The token is verified and stored encrypted.

2

Assign booking types

Choose which imported TidyCal booking types each receptionist may use.

3

Book callers into confirmed slots

SkipCalls checks TidyCal, offers valid openings, and creates the booking after the caller confirms.

Booking during the call
After the caller chooses a confirmed slot and provides an email address, SkipCalls creates the booking in TidyCal.
