# Ruby Receptionist Overview

> See how Ruby Receptionist's live, US-based virtual receptionists answer calls sent from your FieldPulse Engage line, qualify leads, and book jobs.

> **Who uses this:** Business owners and Admins deciding how customer calls get answered; sending an Engage line to Ruby takes access to that line's routing settings. **Availability:** Requires a Ruby Receptionist subscription. Ruby's receptionists are 100% US-based and available 24/7/365.

Being responsive when customers call is essential for a service business, but a dedicated receptionist is not always practical for a small team. Ruby Receptionist gives you live, US-based virtual receptionists who qualify leads, book appointments, and place outbound calls on your behalf, so a real person answers when your crew is on a job.

## Overview

Ruby Receptionist provides phone, SMS, and live chat coverage for your business:

* Lead qualification and intake

* Appointment scheduling and outbound call assistance

* A hosted VOIP phone app

* Available 24/7/365, 100% US-based

Ruby's receptionists are bilingual and hold conversations in English or Spanish. With Ruby, a real person represents your business on the line, which helps callers pick you for their project, become repeat customers, and recommend you to their friends and family.

## How it works

Ruby is set up on Ruby's side rather than inside FieldPulse. You sign up for Ruby, choose how calls reach the receptionists, and Ruby handles the conversation.

* **Sign up for Ruby.** Learn more and get started on [the Ruby for FieldPulse page](https://www.ruby.com/campaign/fieldpulse/).

* **Send calls from Engage.** Route calls from your [Engage](https://www.fieldpulse.com/features/engage) phone line to Ruby through your phone tree, by forwarding the line, or by redirecting the line after working hours. See [Setting Up Call Routing](/add-ons/engage/call-routing) and [Setting Up Working Hours](/add-ons/engage/working-hours).

* **Let Ruby work the call.** Ruby's receptionists capture potential customers' contact information, answer questions with unscripted problem solving, place outbound calls on your behalf, qualify incoming leads, and route calls to the right team member.
