Phone assistant
Call transcripts, messages and minutes
Read what callers said, handle messages, track your monthly minutes and buy more.
Everything the assistant handled is on the Phone page.
Steps
- Go to Phone. Recent calls lists each call with the caller, what happened (Booked, Took a message, Transferred, Answered a question, Hung up) and how long it took.
- Click Transcript under a call to read the conversation.
- In Messages, call or text the person back, then click Done.
- Check Minutes this month to see how many you've used.
- To add minutes, go to Overview. In the AI phone assistant card, pick an amount under Need more minutes this month? and click Add … minutes.
- Pay on the secure checkout page. The minutes are added once payment is confirmed.
Good to know
- Messages marked "wants a reply" are callers who asked for a call back. Open messages show "… to deal with".
- Messages also appear on the Messages page, together with texts clients sent back.
- Minutes reset on the 1st. Bought minutes last until the end of the month and don't roll over.
- Every call minute counts, so the Longest call setting on Phone helps control use.
- When you run out, the assistant stops answering until you add minutes or the month resets.
- If you don't see Need more minutes this month?, extra minutes aren't offered on your plan right now. Email hello@sotera.to.
- Only the account owner can buy minutes.
