An AI receptionist for salons on Timely.
Aroha answers the calls you miss while you are with a client. Timely syncs both ways with Google Calendar, so once your staff turn that on and you connect the same calendar in Aroha, it never books over a Timely appointment.
Connect Timely
- In Timely, each staff member turns on two-way Google Calendar sync.
- In Aroha, connect the same Google Calendar.
- Forward the calls you miss to your Aroha number.
What Aroha does
- Answers calls in your salon’s name while you are busy.
- Never offers a time that clashes with a Timely appointment.
- Texts the caller your booking link to choose the service.
What it does not do yet
- Bookings show in Timely as busy time, not appointments, until you confirm them.

Questions
Do I need to change my phone number to use Aroha with Timely?
No. Keep your number and your carrier. Forward the calls you miss to your Aroha number with a short code, and your phone still rings first. See the codes for your network.

Start free with your own number: Aroha answers up to 60 minutes of calls in your first 14 days, then about 10 calls a month for free. After that, pay as you go at NZ$0.59 a minute or choose a plan from NZ$79.99 a month. See every price.
