How it works
From an online inquiry to a prepared appointment
Example: a consultant offering a 30-minute introductory appointment.
1. Define the service
Create a 30-minute consultation, enter your availability and add the details clients need before booking.
2. Share your booking link
Add the link to your website or send it to a prospect. They can choose an available appointment without downloading an app.
3. Review the booking
Check the appointment details and client information. Send any agreement through the signature workflow when needed.
4. Prepare and follow up
Review the client record before the meeting, then add notes and a follow-up task after the conversation.

AI voice is a paid add-on on the free plan and is included in eligible paid plans. You can start with online booking and CRM before adding phone answering.
Which calendar can I connect?
Bright Canoe supports Google Calendar integration. Configure your connection and test the availability shown on your booking page before sharing it.
How many free signature requests are included?
The free plan includes three lifetime e-signature requests, not three each month. Paid plans and signature add-ons offer additional allowances.
Do customers need an app?

Stripe payment options are available in supported booking flows. CRM invoice collection requires an eligible plan or trial. Test your chosen flow because team bookings do not automatically collect an invoice payment.
