Practical jobs

What this receptionist handles

Repeatable customer-message work with clear boundaries and a defined next step.

01

02

Answer routine front-desk questions

03

Create a useful handoff summary

Pass the customer’s question, contact details, urgency, and conversation context to the responsible person.

Why spas teams use a receptionist

1

Instagram DMs about treatments and availability going unanswered for hours

2

Complex multi-service bookings hard to schedule without back-and-forth

3

Last-minute cancellations leaving expensive treatment slots empty

4

Gift voucher and package inquiries overwhelming front desk staff

5

After-hours booking requests lost to faster-responding competitors

Industry insight

Spas and wellness studios receive many service, package, and availability questions through Instagram and other digital channels, including while staff are with clients.

How it works for spas

When a new client DMs your spa asking about a couples massage package for a weekend anniversary, your receptionist describes the available packages with pricing, checks therapist availability for the requested Saturday, and books both slots in under two minutes — without your receptionist needing to interrupt another client's treatment. Gift voucher inquiries, package upgrades, and rescheduling are all handled the same way: conversationally, instantly, and 24/7.

Multi-channel chat coverage

One AI chatbot manages Instagram DMs, website chat widget, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger.

Trained on your business

Knows your pricing, services, availability, and policies — responds the way your team would.

Human escalation for edge cases

Sensitive or complex requests get flagged for your review before the AI acts.

Information collected

What the assistant asks for

Collect only the details needed to answer, qualify, schedule, or hand off the request.

  • Name, contact details, and reason for contacting the business
  • Relevant massages or facials details
  • Preferred timing, location, and urgency
  • Information required by the handoff or booking rules you approve

Setup requirements

What your team provides

  • Selected messaging or website chat channels
  • A reviewed knowledge base covering services, policies, hours, and locations
  • Named owners and response expectations for each handoff category

Honest limitations

Where people and configured systems stay in control

  • OpenTulpa is chat-first and does not natively replace a phone-answering service.
  • It should not make judgment calls beyond the policies and escalation rules you approve.

Human handoff

When the receptionist hands off

OpenTulpa should handle repeatable chat work and give spas teams context, not block customers from reaching a person. You define the triggers, owner, and expected response time.

  • The customer requests a person
  • The inquiry is urgent, sensitive, or outside standard policy
  • The next step requires professional or operational judgment
