Your first hour
Right after you pay, three quick screens set your account up.
Where should we text you? takes the mobile that gets your lead texts, then Continue.
Now, the official bit registers your Sayora number to your business, which UK rules ask us to do. Pick Limited company and type your Company number: Sayora looks it up, shows your registered name and address, and you tap That’s us. Pick Sole trader and you type your trading address instead. If the Companies House lookup is unavailable, you type your details and carry on either way.
Pick your number is the last one. Sayora offers the local dialling codes it can get for your area, plus a National 03 number that works right across the UK. Tap the one you want, then Get this number. It is bought there and then, so this is the screen that gives you your Sayora number. You keep your own number as well: you forward your calls to the Sayora one.
Then you’re in.
If you close the tab part way through, nothing is lost. Sign in again and Sayora picks up at the screen you left.
Then, when you first sign in at app.sayora.ai, your Inbox shows a short setup list. Two steps are required. The rest make your receptionist better, and you can do them any time.
