Automating Schedules 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 go to competitors if they don’t get a quick response.

We develop turnkey Telegram bots for client bookings that work like a 24/7 virtual administrator with instant responses:

  1. Selecting a service and specialist: The client enters the bot, chooses a service category (e.g., haircut, consultation, repair), a specific procedure, and their preferred specialist.
  2. Dynamic time selection: The bot accesses the schedule database and shows the user an interactive calendar. The client only sees time slots that are actually available for the chosen specialist at that moment.
  3. Prepayment and booking: To confirm the booking, 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. Syncing 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 the time is immediately blocked for other users.
  5. Automatic notifications and reminders: The bot sends the client a confirmation with booking details and sends an automatic reminder a few hours before the visit. This minimises forgotten appointments.

What Problems Does a Booking Bot Solve?

  • Reducing no-shows: One of the biggest pain points in the service industry is when a client books but doesn’t show up. Integrating a mandatory deposit or full prepayment through the bot solves this issue. Even if the client doesn’t turn up, the business doesn’t lose money for the reserved time.
  • Preventing double bookings (Overbooking): Thanks to strict database logic and instant API synchronisation, two clients physically can’t book the same time slot with the same specialist.
  • Handling different time zones: This is critical 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 happen around the clock, without breaks or weekends. Clients can plan their visit at any convenient time, even when your administrators are asleep.

Technical Reliability and Integrations

We create complex systems with a high level of connectivity:

  • Integration with Google Calendar API or your internal CRM for instant two-way schedule synchronisation.
  • Development of a user-friendly admin 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.
