Features

## What HiDesk handles as AI voicemail

Better than a mailbox: HiDesk runs a real conversation, captures what’s needed and prioritises.

### Structured message intake

HiDesk guides the caller through a structured conversation and captures all relevant info — no incomplete voicemails.

### Urgency detection

HiDesk recognises whether an issue needs immediate attention and notifies your team by email, SMS or Slack.

### Instant notification

Every captured message is forwarded immediately and structured — summary, contact info, urgency level.

How it works

## From request to solution — in seconds

01

### Call outside reach

Nobody on the team is available. Instead of a mailbox, HiDesk takes the call.

02

### Structured conversation

HiDesk runs a natural conversation and asks for all relevant details.

03

### Gauge urgency

HiDesk evaluates the matter and categorises by urgency.

04

### Notify the team

Full summary goes immediately via email, SMS or Slack to the team.

-   Chat messages after hours are captured structured
-   Urgent chat enquiries trigger the same notifications as calls
-   Uniform summaries across phone and chat
-   No customer contact lost, whatever the channel
