How does calendar integration work for scheduling in-home or video estimates?

On Premium and Enterprise, Voksha connects to Google Calendar or Outlook from the dashboard, or Calendly through Voksha support, and once connected it books estimate appointments into your actual open availability rather than generating a lead your team then has to manually schedule. This is a meaningful distinction for moving companies specifically, because a lot of the value in fast response comes from being able to offer a caller a specific time slot on the same call, "we have an opening Thursday at 4pm or Saturday at 10am for an in-home walkthrough," rather than saying someone will call back to schedule, which reintroduces the exact delay that loses jobs to faster-answering competitors. You can configure separate calendars per estimator if you run more than one, so Voksha books based on whoever has real open availability rather than double-booking one person's calendar while another sits empty. You can also block off travel-time buffers between estimates, since in-home walkthroughs typically require driving between locations and back-to-back bookings with no buffer create a scheduling problem for your estimator. For companies offering video estimates as an alternative to in-home visits, which many movers adopted as a faster option for straightforward moves, Voksha can offer callers the choice and book either type directly, tagging the appointment type so your estimator knows to prep a video link versus drive to an address. Because Voksha checks the calendar during the call, callers are offered only the slots that are open at that moment, which keeps double-bookings from creeping in.
