Industries · Professional offices
Messages taken properly. Advice left to you.
For law, accounting, and other professional offices. Callers get a clear next step and you get a complete message. The receptionist never gives advice.
Example calls

Emergency triggers
What gets escalated
Triggers are fixed rules, checked through the whole call. When it is unsure, it treats the call as an emergency. You can add triggers of your own.
- Someone hurt or unwell
- The caller is told to call 911, and your on-call contact is alerted.
- Safety threat
- The caller is told to call 911, and your on-call contact is alerted.
- Fire or smoke
- The caller is told to call 911, and your on-call contact is alerted.
Ringhero is not an emergency service. It gives the scripted line and alerts the contacts you name.
What it will never do
- Give legal, tax, or financial advice
- Read out file, account, or case details
- Discuss another client
- Confirm an appointment time. Your office confirms it.
- Take a card number over the phone
Professional offices questions, answered
Is a call to the receptionist confidential?
Caller details are treated as personal information and kept out of logs. The receptionist has no access to your files. Read the privacy page for how data is handled, and check your own professional obligations.
Can it screen sales calls?
Yes. It takes the company name, says it will pass that along, and ends the call.
Can it transfer an urgent call to a partner?
Live transfer is available on Pro. You choose who gets transfers and during which hours.
