Automating Scheduling Without Calls or Manual Messaging

Manually coordinating appointment times in messengers takes up a lot of time for administrators or specialists themselves. If a client wants to book late in the evening or at night, they often turn to competitors without receiving a quick response.

We develop turnkey Telegram bots for client booking that function as a 24/7 virtual administrator with instant responses:

  1. Service and Specialist Selection: The client enters the bot, selects a service category (e.g., haircut, consultation, repair), a specific procedure, and their preferred specialist.
  2. Dynamic Time Selection: The bot accesses the scheduling database and displays an interactive calendar to the user. The client sees only those time slots that are genuinely available for the chosen specialist at that moment.
  3. Prepayment and Booking: To confirm the appointment, the bot may offer to pay for the service in full or make a partial deposit. We integrate the system with international payment tools (Stripe, PayPal, bank cards).
  4. Synchronisation with Your Calendar: As soon as the client confirms the booking, the bot instantly reserves that time. We set up API integration with your work tools (Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, CRM systems) so that the time is immediately blocked for other users.
  5. Automatic Notifications and Reminders: The bot sends the client a confirmation with booking details and, a few hours before the visit, sends an automatic reminder. This minimises the number of forgotten appointments.

What Problems Does the Booking Bot Solve?

  • Preventing No-Shows: One of the main challenges in the service industry is when a client books but does not show up. Integrating a mandatory deposit or full prepayment through the bot resolves this issue. Even if the client does not attend, the business does not lose money for the reserved time.
  • Eliminating Double Bookings (Overbooking): Thanks to strict database logic and instant API synchronisation, two clients physically cannot book the same time slot with the same specialist.
  • Handling Different Time Zones: This is critically important for online consultants, psychologists, and coaches working in the international market. Our bot automatically detects the user’s time zone and shows the specialist’s available times adjusted to the client’s local time, eliminating confusion in calculations.
  • 24/7 Availability: Bookings can be made around the clock, without breaks or days off. Clients can plan their visit at any convenient time, even when your administrators are offline.

Technical Reliability and Integrations

We create complex systems with a high level of connectivity:

  • Connection to Google Calendar API or your internal CRM for instant two-way schedule synchronisation.
  • Development of a user-friendly control panel for administrators and specialists, where they can set their work schedules, holidays, breaks, and service durations.
  • Option to integrate with TWA (Telegram Web Apps) for rendering interactive calendars directly within the chat.
