## Panel open? Clara gets the call

Clara answers incoming business calls while you keep both hands on the test. It captures what the caller noticed, the affected area, property, timing, and contact details, then puts the caller information and call summary in your iPhone or Android app. You review the facts and decide the next step.

## Electrical work needs your full attention

Outages, warning signs, fixture work, and installation estimates can all arrive while you are testing or working at height. Clara records what the customer reports without telling them how to open, test, bypass, or repair electrical equipment.

## Calls Clara can help capture

### Partial or full outages

Capture the affected area, when it began, property context, and what the caller can observe without directing a test.

### Reported warning signs

Record reports of sparking, heat, smoke, or burning odor and follow only the approved safety handling for the business.

### Installation and estimates

Collect the fixture, equipment, room, property, timing, and decision-maker details for your review.

### Commercial and existing work

Take structured messages from property managers or customers about access, certificates, return visits, or work underway.

## Start with the affected area and observed signs

A consistent electrical intake gives you useful context without turning the phone conversation into remote troubleshooting. Clara captures reported facts and leaves safety, diagnosis, and technical decisions with you.

- **Issue:** Outage, equipment, fixture, installation, inspection, or another request
- **Area:** Which room, circuit area, building, or equipment appears affected
- **Signs:** What the caller reports seeing, hearing, smelling, or feeling
- **Property:** Home or commercial site, address, and access for your team to review
- **Timing:** When it began, requested timing, caller status, and callback details

## Frequently asked questions

### Where can I review electrician call details?

You can review caller details and call summaries in Clara's iPhone and Android apps, so the information stays with you while you move between jobs.

### Can Clara handle urgent electrical calls?

Clara can capture the warning signs you define and follow approved handling rules. It does not diagnose hazards, say a situation is safe, or replace emergency services.

### Will Clara give electrical troubleshooting instructions?

No. Clara should not tell callers how to open, test, bypass, reset, or repair electrical equipment. Technical and safety decisions stay with a qualified professional.

### Can Clara handle installation and estimate requests?

Clara can capture the requested installation, fixture or equipment, property, access, timing, and pricing question. Scope, load, code, permits, parts, labor, fees, and the final estimate stay with your electrical business unless a current connected workflow supports them.

### Can Clara answer property-manager calls?

Clara can collect the site, affected area, access contact, requested work, decision-maker, reported warning signs, and timing for review. It should not promise attendance, pricing, authorization, or access to building systems unless that information is current and connected.

### Can I test outage and estimate calls first?

Yes. Use the test-call step to try outage, warning-sign, installation, inspection, and existing-customer scenarios before connecting customer calls.

### Does Clara learn how I run my business?

Yes. Clara starts with the services, hours, service area, pricing, questions, and call rules you give it. As you review calls and keep coaching Clara, it learns more about how you run the business and becomes better trained around how you want calls handled.
