Home/Front desk/Text front desk
Answers every text, books inside your rules

A front desk that already knows how you run.

Every text answered, every missed call texted back, every booking made inside the rules you set. Not a chatbot bolted onto a scheduler and guessing. The same system you taught your rules to.

What it does

Text front desk, in detail.

Every text answered

Availability by service, therapist, and day. Prices, parking, policies, from your own FAQ.

Books, inside your rules

Only offers times, rooms, and people that pass every rule you set.

Couples as one booking

"Massage for two at 1pm" holds two therapists and a suite, and asks who wants whom.

Returning vs new

Recognises regulars; collects name and email from new clients, and applies your new-client rules.

Hands off

When a real person should take over, the conversation lands in your inbox with the thread intact.

Not a chatbot bolted on

Other receptionists live next to a scheduler and ask it questions. Palm's front desk is the same engine that holds your rules, so it never offers a slot the rules would refuse.

One rule table

The page, the desk, and the text all read the same rows.

Deterministic booking

The model reads the message; the engine decides availability. The model is never near the calendar.

Honest noes

"We're full for groups at 3, but I have 4:15" instead of a guess.

Questions

About text front desk

Does it answer the phone?

It texts. A missed call gets a text back within seconds; a real voice line is not something Palm does.

Will it book something I didn't want?

Only if your rules allow it, and then it's the rule that needs changing, not the desk. Say the rule and it's fixed everywhere.

Can I read every conversation?

Yes. Every thread is in your inbox, and every booking it made is in the activity log with why.

Can I turn it off after hours?

Yes, or on only after hours, or on with approval required. Per kind of action.

Is it a person?

No, and it never pretends to be. Clients who ask are told.
