How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

How does Acquire with DeskFerry help Photography teams handle inquiry-to-booking drop-off when responses take a day?
DeskFerry uses Acquire as a structured surface for the operational work behind inquiry-to-booking drop-off when responses take a day.
