AI appointment booking lets the customer reserve, reschedule or cancel their appointment inside the same conversation. In Elocuenti the AI checks your Google Calendar, confirms with a Google Meet link when needed and sends automatic reminders by chat or by call.

## What Elocuenti's appointment booking chatbot does

- **Books by chat** The customer asks for an appointment on WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger and the AI books it with no one stepping in.
- **Checks your real availability** It checks your Google Calendar before confirming, so it never clashes with another appointment.
- **Google Meet link** If the appointment is virtual, the link is ready and gets sent to the customer.
- **Reschedules and cancels** The customer asks for the change in the same conversation and the AI makes it.
- **WhatsApp forms for appointments** If you need more details, a form captures them before confirming.
- **Automatic reminders** Sent ahead of time, by chat or by an AI call.

## How booking an appointment on WhatsApp works

- **The customer asks for an appointment.** On WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger or a call.
- **The AI checks your calendar.** Against your Google Calendar, to offer slots that actually exist.
- **It confirms the appointment.** With the Google Meet link when needed, and saves it to your calendar.
- **The reminder goes out.** By chat or by call, ahead of time, to cut down on no-shows.

## Booking by phone vs AI appointment booking on WhatsApp

Booking by phone depends on office hours and someone checking the calendar. On WhatsApp with AI, the customer books alone.

| Aspect | Booking by phone | AI appointment booking on WhatsApp |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Availability | Someone checks it by hand | The AI checks it in your Google Calendar |
| Business hours | Only during office hours | The customer books at any hour |
| Rescheduling | Requires calling back | Asked for in the same conversation |
| Reminders | Depends on someone calling | Automatic, by chat or by AI call |
| Virtual meetings | Send the link separately | The Google Meet link arrives with the confirmation |

## How to cut down on no-shows

- **Automatic reminders** Sent ahead of the appointment, with no one writing them by hand.
- **WhatsApp forms** For appointments that need more details before they're confirmed.
- **Call reminder campaigns** The AI calls to confirm or reschedule ahead of time.
- **Appointment history on the profile** Every appointment sits next to the customer's conversations and details on their profile.
- **On any channel** The customer books, confirms or changes their appointment on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger or a call.
- **Instant confirmation** The customer gets the confirmation with the time and the link, with no one sending it by hand.

## Your calendar, always up to date

Every appointment booked, rescheduled or canceled by the customer reflects on your Google Calendar instantly, with no one copying it by hand.
