Check with Aircall how it handles call recording and card payments before making compliance decisions.
Can I use Aircall and IBIOS together?
Coming soon. Once IBIOS AI Receptionist is live, the plan is for it to handle first-line calls and route to Aircall numbers for calls that need a human team member.
