Car dealer's website, Thursday, 12:42 pm

The situation

One appointment, four emails, two days

Thursday, 12:40, lunch break. A man is sitting in the canteen, browsing a car dealer's used cars, and wants to test-drive the grey estate on Saturday. He sends an email. On Friday afternoon a reply arrives with two suggested times. One doesn't work, and he only answers in the evening. By then Saturday is fully booked.

That's how a lot of scheduling goes. Nobody is being unhelpful. There is simply too much time between question and answer, and every extra message pushes the appointment back by half a day.

In the chat, the same thing takes two minutes. The bot asks about the car and the preferred day, shows the open slots from the calendar, the customer taps one, done. In the morning the dealership sees the booking along with everything the customer entered beforehand.

In detail

What you get

Open slots from the calendar you already use

The bot connects to Calendly, Google Calendar or Outlook. In the chat it shows the times that are actually free there. You keep managing working hours, breaks and holidays where you always have. No second calendar to maintain.

The customer picks a slot in the chat window without switching to another page. The appointment lands in your calendar, and the details from the conversation are stored with the contact in My-Chatify.

  • Availability straight from your calendar
  • Booking without leaving the page
  • Chat details stored with the contact

Ask the right questions before booking

In the Flow Builder you decide what the bot needs to know before the appointment. It works by drag and drop, no code. A car dealer might ask about the vehicle, preferred day and driving licence. A law firm asks about the area of law and how urgent it is.

With branches, every enquiry gets the right kind of appointment. Someone heading to the workshop sees different times from someone who wants a sales conversation. Email addresses and phone numbers are validated as they're typed, so a mistyped digit shows up immediately.

A flow starts with the greeting or when someone types a particular keyword, such as “appointment”. The AI keeps answering open questions, while the flow handles the booking steps.

  • Questions and buttons by drag and drop
  • Branches by type of appointment
  • Email and phone validation
  • Starts on greeting or keyword

Only ask what you need for the appointment

Name, contact details and preferred time are usually enough to book. A physiotherapy practice doesn't need a diagnosis in the chat, and a law firm doesn't need case details. The shorter the flow, the more likely people are to finish booking.

If you use a scheduling system that isn't connected directly, the bot can share the link to it or take down the request with name and phone number. Your team then calls back.

What changed at Kanzlei am Wallring

At the law firm Kanzlei am Wallring, a flow asks about the area of law and urgency, then books the initial consultation straight away. Since then, 41% more initial consultations have been booked, and the office saves 6 hours a week. How much it changes for you depends on how many appointment requests already come in online.

How it works

  2. 02

    Build the booking flow

    In the Flow Builder, set which questions come before the booking and which type of appointment matches which answer.

    Run through it and go live

    Book an appointment yourself in the Playground, including a typo in the phone number. Then add the script tag to your website.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often about this topic.

Can I offer different types of appointment?

Yes. Branches in the flow lead each answer to the right appointment, for example test drive or workshop, initial consultation or follow-up. You decide which questions are asked along the way.

Where can I see what the customer entered before booking?

The answers from the flow are saved to the contact profile and appear with the lead in My-Chatify. You can also have new leads sent to you by email.

What happens if no suitable slot is free?

The bot can offer a callback and take down a name and phone number, or hand the conversation to your team in live chat if someone is available.

We use a different booking system. Will it still work?

Calendly, Google Calendar and Outlook connect directly. With other systems, the bot shares the link or takes down the request. Some things can be connected through webhooks and the REST API, but we can't promise that across the board.

Does booking work on WhatsApp too?

From the Professional plan, the same assistant also answers on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, using the same flows, for example for appointment requests.
