When a website lookup runs long, the agent gives short spoken status updates, naming the subject of the question when it can, and repeats them until the lookup ends. Operators set the subject scope for website lookups on each agent. This applies to agents that have website lookup enabled with at least one approved website, other than agents that route callers to a specialist; agents limited to company materials are not covered. ### Speak website and company-materials answers without formatting symbols or full web links Answers from approved websites and company materials are prepared for the ear before the agent speaks them. Formatting symbols are removed so they are not read aloud, and full web links are left out of what the agent says. This applies when the agent uses website lookup or company-materials lookup. ### Offer meeting times in the calendar's time zone and book the opening a person picks Callers settle on a meeting time during the call. Times are offered in the time zone set for the calendar, as numbered options. A caller picks an opening by saying "option 2" or "the first one", and the agent books it when the choice identifies one opening clearly. This applies when calendar booking is enabled and a calendar is connected to the agent, and, for agents that follow a conversation workflow, when the step has calendar check and booking switched on. ### Edit conversation workflows step by step, without touching raw definitions Operators shape how a conversation unfolds by editing each step's instructions and the opening greeting. They add, remove and reorder steps, set voice and tone, and set conditions for moving on to the next step. Operators can also switch calendar check and booking on for a step and add fields that collect a caller's answers, labelled as text, email, phone, yes or no, number, or date and time. This applies to agents that follow a conversation workflow and to operators who sign in to the dashboard, and advanced editing remains for unusual cases. ### Choose calendar hours and meeting length from simple pickers Operators set when meetings can be booked and how long they run. Business hours are chosen with start and end pickers that read like 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and meeting length is chosen from 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Calendar saves and workflow updates confirm with "Saved." Operators who sign in to the dashboard make these settings. ## Iternal Realtime Voice Agent resources - [Iternal](https://iternal.ai/) - [Contact Iternal](https://iternal.ai/contact) - [Company information](https://iternal.ai/company-information) ## Legal and forward-looking notice Availability depends on the customer's account, role, organization and workflow configuration, which features are enabled, rollout timing, a supported browser and connection, telephone network connectivity, and service load.
