Frequently asked questions
Does Julius Answer work for my type of business if it's not listed?
Yes. Choose "Something else" when you sign up and describe what you do. It books appointments, takes messages and answers from your information like any receptionist. The listed industries just get extra built-in rules.
Can I change what it asks callers?
Yes. Tell the setup assistant what you need to know before a booking, or what to say about prices and policies, and it updates the receptionist.
Does it handle emergencies?
Callers describing a life-threatening emergency are told to hang up and call 911 first. Urgent business problems, like an active leak or severe tooth pain, are flagged urgent for your team and can be put through to whoever is on call.
