Workflow and trust basics

How OnCrew handles your calls, in plain language.

What happens on every call, where the details go, what you control from the dashboard, and the security basics that are true today. No compliance theater, no customer counts.

No credit card required to start. Cancel from your dashboard.

What is true today

Six things you can check before you sign up.

You keep your number

Your carrier forwards calls to your OnCrew line: only the ones you miss, or every call. Nothing is ported, and your number stays with your carrier.

Every call recorded, with a notice by default

Each greeting tells the caller the call is recorded. A business in a state where one side of a call can consent may limit that notice to callers from states that require everyone's consent. The recording, transcript and an AI summary land in your dashboard.

Email and text, right after the call

As soon as a call ends, your team gets who called, the callback number, what they need and where, by email and by text.

Built-in Jobber and ServiceTitan

Connect them from your dashboard and each caller lands there. Google Calendar and a webhook cover the rest.

Stripe holds the card

Card details are typed on Stripe's pages, never on OnCrew's. We keep the brand and last four digits for your receipts.

Cancel from your dashboard

Monthly plans with no contract. Cancel yourself in the dashboard: no phone call, no email.

How a call moves through OnCrew

From ring to callback, with no black box.

Sarah captures the call, flags what is urgent, and hands your team everything it needs. The live callback is still yours.

  1. Your line forwards to Sarah

    Calls you do not pick up, or every call if you choose, forward from your carrier to your OnCrew line. Sarah answers in your company's name and tells the caller the call is recorded, unless you limit that notice to the callers who need it.

  2. She takes the job down

    She asks the intake questions for your trade: what is wrong, the service address, a callback number. If a caller asks, she says she is the automated assistant and that a person from your company will call back. She never claims to be a person.

  3. Urgent calls are flagged

    Built-in rules for your trade separate emergencies, like no heat, a burst pipe, sparking or an active roof leak, from routine calls. You choose who hears about urgent ones.

  4. Your team is alerted

    Right after the call, OnCrew emails the addresses on your account and texts your notification phone: who called, the callback number, what they need and where. The email adds an AI summary, a transcript excerpt and a link to the recording.

  5. Live transfer, only if you turn it on

    Off by default. Turned on, Sarah offers to connect a caller who asks for a person to the numbers you list. In the default mode, if nobody picks up she comes back on the line, takes a message and marks it urgent.

  6. Your team makes the callback

    OnCrew answers, sorts and hands off. Your team calls back and decides what happens next, and Sarah never tells a caller a tech is on the way.

Setup and settings

Live in minutes, then yours to change.

Signup is self-serve. Tell us your company, trade and business number, and OnCrew sets up your OnCrew number and your agent in the same step. You forward your line and place a test call. Everything below can be changed later from the dashboard.

Company and trade

Your company name and trade set Sarah's greeting and her intake questions. Edit the greeting and add notes about your business in Settings.

Hours and holidays

Monday to Friday, 8 to 5, closed on major holidays until you change it. Sarah answers whatever your carrier forwards; your hours decide whether she treats a call as daytime or after hours.

Who gets the alerts

Add alert emails and crew in Settings > Team; the alert list holds 4 on Starter, 6 on Pro and 16 on Multi-Truck. Route routine calls to the right crew by topic, while urgent calls still reach your whole alert list.

Forwarding

Choose missed calls only or every call. The forwarding page shows the codes for your carrier and places an automated test call to confirm it works.

Live transfer

Off until you switch it on in Settings. A caller can be connected to up to 4 on Starter, 6 on Pro and 16 on Multi-Truck numbers you list.

Guided setup, if you want it

Prefer help? Ask for guided setup and our team follows up. You do not have to wait for it: your OnCrew line is set up the moment you sign up.

What OnCrew connects to today

Where each call lands.

Alerts reach your team on every plan. Your field service software and calendar are optional connections you switch on from the dashboard.

Email and text alerts

Each call is emailed to your alert addresses and texted to your notification phone from OnCrew's alert number, and crew phones can be added. Robocalls, and calls under 15 seconds that are not urgent, are not texted. Plans include 150, 500 or 1,500 alert texts a month; extra texts are $0.05 each.

Every plan

Jobber

Connect from your dashboard. Each caller lands as a client and a work request, with the call summary, callback number and service address pinned in a note.

Built in

ServiceTitan

Add your ServiceTitan app credentials in the dashboard. Each caller lands as a customer with a call note, and as a lead when you set a campaign.

Built in

Google Calendar

A caller who names a day and time becomes an appointment request on your calendar, marked unconfirmed until your team reviews it. With booking switched on, Sarah can book open slots for routine jobs and tells the caller your team will confirm.

Built in

Webhook export

Each call is posted as JSON to Zapier, Make or your own system, with the transcript and recording if you include them. Housecall Pro and other tools connect this way, and our team can help set it up.

Built in

QuickBooks

There is no QuickBooks connection today.

Not integrated

Need a tool that is not listed? Mention it on the demo form and we will tell you honestly whether the webhook can reach it.

Security basics

The boring true stuff, said plainly.

OnCrew is a launch-stage product. Here is what protects your account and your callers' details today, and where call details travel.

Card details stay with Stripe

You type card details on Stripe's checkout or billing pages, never on OnCrew's. We store the card brand and last four digits so your receipts show which card paid.

The dashboard needs a sign-in

In the dashboard, call history, recordings and transcripts sit behind your OnCrew sign-in (a password or Google) and are limited to your company's accounts. Team access comes in six levels, from Owner to Viewer, and every level can open calls.

Where call details travel

Alerts carry the call to the emails and phones you list. The alert email links straight to the recording, and the owner's text links to that one call without a sign-in for 14 days. Tools you connect receive what you connect them for, and OnCrew's team gets a copy of each alert email so we catch problems early.

A record of every call

Every call is recorded and transcribed, so you can check what Sarah said and what the caller said. There is no setting to switch recording off.

What we are not claiming
  • OnCrew is in active pilot rollout with launch-stage contractors. We are not publishing customer logos, review counts, or revenue claims until the customer base supports it.
  • We do not claim SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, or ISO 27001. Stripe handles cardholder data on our behalf. Treat OnCrew accordingly until those programs are completed.
  • Sarah answers, sorts and hands off calls, and what counts as urgent follows built-in rules for your trade that you cannot edit. Your team makes the live callback and confirms any appointment. OnCrew is not a dispatch desk and does not guarantee response times.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before they sign up.

Does OnCrew store my card number?
No. You enter card details on Stripe's pages and Stripe holds them. OnCrew keeps the card brand and last four digits so you can tell which card paid. Sarah does not take card numbers from your callers either.
What does OnCrew connect to today?
Every plan sends each call to your team by email and text. Jobber and ServiceTitan are built-in connections you switch on from the dashboard, Google Calendar takes appointment requests, and a webhook sends each call to Zapier, Make or your own system. Housecall Pro works through the webhook. QuickBooks is not integrated.
Do you claim SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI compliance?
No. Those programs take time and we do not advertise them until they are real. Today we rely on Stripe for card data, a sign-in for the dashboard, and alerts that go to the people you list, with a copy of each alert email to OnCrew's team. If your business needs a specific program, call us and we will tell you honestly where OnCrew stands.
Does OnCrew send a technician to the caller?
No. OnCrew answers the call, sorts emergencies from routine calls, and alerts your team. Your team makes the callback and decides what to do next. Sarah does not tell a caller that a tech is on the way, and OnCrew does not run a dispatch desk for you.
Do callers know they are talking to an AI?
By default every greeting tells the caller the call is recorded. A business in a state where one side of a call can consent may limit that notice to callers from states that require everyone's consent. If a caller asks whether they are talking to a person, Sarah says she is the automated assistant and that someone from your company will call them back. She never claims to be a person.
Can I see how OnCrew handled a specific call?
Yes. Every call in your dashboard has the recording, the transcript, an AI summary and an urgency tag. You can search and filter the list and export up to 500 calls at a time as a CSV file.
What happens if I want to cancel?
Your first trial starts without a card, so if you never add one you are never charged: the trial ends on its own. On a paid plan, cancel from your dashboard anytime, no phone call or email needed. It takes effect at the end of the billing period.
How is OnCrew different from a generic answering service?
OnCrew is built for home service contractors. The intake questions follow your trade, alerts reach your team by email and text as soon as a call ends, and pricing is per call instead of per minute, so a long emergency call costs the same as a short one.
