Have your AI agent call a business the moment it opens

By the CallForMe team at Great Work LLC · Updated Nov 2, 2026 · 1 min read

Short answer: Tell your agent what you need and when to call, like "when they open tomorrow". It schedules the call with call_at, CallForMe dials by itself at that time, and your agent picks up the answers afterward. Scheduling is free; you pay the usual $1 per answered call when it goes out.

$1 when someone answers, first 2 minutes included. Nothing if nobody picks up. Connecting asks for nothing.

Most errands come up when the business is closed: a refill you remember at night, a cancellation you think of on Sunday, a quote you want first thing Monday. Calling into a closed line gets you voicemail or an after-hours menu. Your agent can schedule the call for when they open instead.

What your agent does

1. find_business for the number and today's hours, if it doesn't have them.
2. place_call with the usual goal and details plus call_at, the opening time in the business's time zone:

{
  "phone": "+12145550172",
  "business_name": "Lakeside Pharmacy",
  "goal": "Ask whether Sam Ortiz's lisinopril refill is ready and what it costs.",
  "details": "Prescription under Sam Ortiz, date of birth on file is March 14, 1976.",
  "on_behalf_of": "Sam Ortiz",
  "call_at": "2026-11-03T09:05:00-06:00"
}

3. The reply says scheduled, with a batch_id and the time. At that time CallForMe dials by itself.
4. Later, get_batch with that batch_id returns the call's answers, and get_call with its call_id the transcript.

Good times to pick

• A few minutes after opening, so the line is staffed when the call comes in.
• Mid-morning on weekdays for customer-service lines. Toll-free lines often keep weekday hours only, and CallForMe warns your agent on weekends and late evenings.
• Before the lunch rush for restaurants and salons.

What it costs

Scheduling is free. When the call goes out it's the usual $1 per answered call, including the first 2 minutes, then $0.40 a minute. A call nobody answers, or one that reaches only a closed line's recording, costs nothing.
