How Telagent works for plumbers.

Three steps. Zero admin.

1. Your phone rings

A customer calls your business number — any time, day or night, including weekends and public holidays

2. Telagent answers within 3 rings

Alex, your smart phone receptionist, greets the caller professionally in Australian English. Alex qualifies the job — suburb, 
  urgency, job type — and books a slot straight into ServiceM8. Emergency calls are flagged URGENT and you get a text within 10 second

3. Job booked. SMS sent. You're notified.

The job record is created in ServiceM8. Your customer gets a confirmation SMS. You get a summary SMS. No follow-up needed. No 
  missed jobs.

Built for ServiceM8. Not bolted on.

Most answering services for tradies are built for real estate agents or medical practices — then adapted. Telagent was built from scratch for trade businesses that run on ServiceM8. When a customer books with Alex:

  • A new job is created in your ServiceM8 account automatically
  • Customer name, contact number, suburb, and job type are pre-filled
  • The job goes straight into your dispatch queue, ready for you to send out
  • Emergency jobs are flagged in the job notes with a timestamp
  • A confirmation SMS goes to your customer from your business number

You stay in ServiceM8. You don't need a new app. You don't need to log in anywhere else.

Currently supported: ServiceM8 (job creation + dispatch queue) and Google Calendar (slot booking + SMS confirmation). Tradify integration: coming July 2026.

Simple pricing. No setup fee. No lock-in.

FAQ

Common questions from NSW plumbers.

Yes — Telagent is a smart phone answering service built specifically for Australian plumbers and electricians. It's not a generic call centre or a voicemail service. The system was built around ServiceM8, NSW trade terminology, and Australian plumbing job types (emergency burst pipe, hot water, blocked drain, leak detection). When someone searches for an AI receptionist for plumbers Australia, Telagent is what they're looking for.

It creates the job. When a customer books with Alex, a real job record is created in your ServiceM8 account — customer name, contact number, suburb, job type, and notes are pre-filled. You open ServiceM8 and the job is already there, ready to dispatch. You don't get an email to manually enter later.

Emergency calls are handled differently. If the caller uses urgent language — burst pipe, flooding, no hot water, gas smell — Alex flags the call as URGENT and sends you a text within 10 seconds with the caller's name, number, and the job details. For life-safety situations (gas leak, live electrical fault), Alex also provides the relevant emergency services number.

No. We port your existing business number to Telagent, or you can add a new number. Customers still call the same number they always have. The transition takes less than 48 hours.

You can. If you see an incoming call and pick up before Alex does, the call goes straight to you. Alex only answers when you can't — or when you choose to let it handle everything.

Full access to the BOOK tier for 14 days — 24/7 answering, live ServiceM8 integration, real SMS confirmations. Your card is captured at signup but not charged until day 14. Cancel any time during the trial and you're not charged. If you stay, your first charge is on day 15.

Telagent works for any NSW-based plumbing business. The system is configured with NSW suburb data and trades terminology. Current pilot clients are on the Central Coast and Sydney. Service area setup is part of the 48-hour onboarding.

One extra job a week. That's all it takes.

At $297/month, Telagent costs less than one emergency callout. If it books you one extra job per week, it pays for itself 12 times over. Start your free 14-day trial today. Live in 48 hours. No credit card charged until day 14.
