Inbound calls

Let Sophie Answer
Your Calls

Calls reach the Ringwise line from your existing number via call forwarding. Sophie greets callers, answers with your business information and passes requests to your team. The inbound flow is configured for your business during setup and tested together with you.

Call answering

Answers incoming calls and responds with your business information. Opening hours, address, prices and frequent questions are prepared with you during setup.

Hand-off to your team

For topics the assistant shouldn't handle, it takes the caller's name, number and request and alerts your team by SMS right away. Live transfer depends on the carrier and is tested during setup.

Appointment requests

Takes the appointment request (name, date and time, note) and passes it to your team right away. The Google Calendar connection is configured during setup.

Requests and complaints

Logs fault reports, complaints and information requests. The call summary appears in your panel and your team is notified instantly.

Phone and SMS

Conversations happen by phone; information and follow-up messages can be sent by SMS when the caller's number is shown.

After hours too

Data protection

How Your
Data Is Handled

You are the data controller

Your business is the data controller and Apeka Group Limited (Ringwise) is the data processor. We sign a data processing agreement.

You decide on recordings

Audio recording can be switched off, keeping only the transcript and summary. The retention period is set in the contract; records in our database are deleted automatically when it ends, while copies held by sub-processors follow their own retention periods.

Database in the EU

Transcripts, summaries and caller details are stored in the EU (Frankfurt). If audio recording is on, the audio file is stored by default in the call platform's US storage.

Processing abroad

Live audio is processed in real time by US-based sub-processors for speech recognition, the language model and speech synthesis. Transfer safeguards are set out in the data processing agreement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Does it work with our existing phone number?

Yes. Your number doesn't change and stays with your provider. Call forwarding is set up at your provider: calls reach the Ringwise line always, when the line is busy, when unanswered, when the phone is unreachable or out of hours. You decide when the assistant steps in. Forwarded calls may be charged under your tariff; we set it up together.

How many calls can be answered at the same time?

Every package handles up to 10 calls at once, and this is written in the contract. When all lines are busy, a new call cannot reach the assistant. Packages are listed on the pricing page.

Can it take appointments?

Yes, in the Standard and Peak Season packages. During the call Sophie takes the appointment request (name, date and time, note) and passes it to your team right away; the caller can be sent an SMS. The Google Calendar connection is configured during setup.

Can messages be sent via WhatsApp?

Not today. Information and follow-up messages are sent by SMS. WhatsApp can only be added as an optional, separately priced module that requires Meta approval.

Where are call recordings stored, and what agreement do you offer?

During the call, audio is processed in real time by US-based sub-processors for speech-to-text, response generation and voice synthesis. Transcripts, summaries and caller details are kept in a database hosted in the EU (Frankfurt). If audio recording is on, the audio file is stored by default in the call platform's US storage; recording can be switched off. The retention period is set in the contract. Your business is the data controller and Apeka Group Limited (Ringwise) is the data processor; we sign a data processing agreement that covers sub-processors and transfer safeguards. Details are on the data protection and security page.

Can the assistant call customers back on our behalf?

Yes, in the Standard and Peak Season packages. The assistant calls back people who asked for a callback during the call, at the times you set; results and summaries are sent to you. Callbacks are made from the number allocated to your business. Our outbound calling setup was used live in the March 2026 pilot. Marketing calls are made only to contacts you may lawfully call.
