Let Service Fusion's ZyraTalk book jobs, and have a manager check every AI estimate and booking
Service Fusion's ZyraTalk can answer and book jobs; Notes+ (Early Access) cleans note text. AI bookings and estimates that skip a manager still misquote the pricebook. This page shows how to scope after-hours answering, check estimates, and review each AI-booked job the next morning.
Who this is for
Trade contractor office managers using Service Fusion with ZyraTalk. For Workiz Genius Answering — a different job — see Workiz Genius Answering owner approve.
How to do it
This is a how-to, not a ranking. Per the Service Fusion AI review, ZyraTalk answers/books calls; Notes+ is Early Access; ServiceCall.ai is an add-on. A manager checks estimates and bookings.
1. Scope ZyraTalk to after-hours
What it is: Turn on ZyraTalk for after-hours (or overflow) only until the process is stable.
- Define after-hours window.
- Limit job types ZyraTalk may book.
- Hand off emergencies to on-call.
- Label Notes+ as Early Access if you use it.
ZyraTalk books drain cleaning after 6 p.m. Water-heater replacements stay on-call only.
Write the hours and allowed job types on the wall sheet.
2. Manager checklist for estimates
What it is: When ZyraTalk or related tools draft an estimate, a manager checks every line against the pricebook.
- Compare labor and parts to the pricebook.
- Reject lines that invent discounts.
- Confirm Notes+ rewrites before customers see them.
- Do not send estimates unreviewed.
Manager cuts an invented after-hours fee that was not on the pricebook. Estimate resends the same hour.
Checklist: pricebook match, tax, arrival window, manager initials.
3. Review each AI-booked job next morning
What it is: Every morning, a manager reviews overnight AI bookings before dispatch finalizes.
- Open each AI-booked job.
- Fix address, job type, and parts flags.
- Cancel bad bookings before techs roll.
- Tighten ZyraTalk rules weekly.
Four overnight bookings; one wrong ZIP cancelled before 8 a.m. dispatch.
Log: date, AI bookings, cancels, rule tweaks.
