# The Google Calendar WhatsApp integration that books appointments for you.

The Google Calendar WhatsApp integration lets Elocuenti's agent book, reschedule and cancel appointments over chat: it checks your real availability, reserves the slot and shares the Google Meet link when the appointment is virtual, with nobody touching the calendar by hand.

## What the Google Calendar integration does

- **Books, reschedules and cancels** The agent does all three over chat, in the same plain language a customer would use to ask for them.
- **Checks your real availability** Before offering a slot, it checks your calendar and only proposes times that are genuinely open.
- **Automatic Google Meet link** When the appointment is virtual, the video call link arrives in the same confirmation message.
- **WhatsApp forms for appointments** A form inside the chat captures the reason, the service or the details you need before confirming the slot.
- **Automatic reminders** Customers get a heads-up before their appointment, with nobody writing to them one by one.
- **Call campaigns to remind appointments** The AI can also call to remind a customer of an upcoming appointment, with the same reason it would use over chat.

## Which businesses use it

- **Businesses that run on appointments** Clinics, salons and workshops book without a customer waiting for someone to check for an open slot.
- **Fewer no-shows** The automatic reminder before the appointment cuts down on customers who simply never show up.
- **Classes and consultations** The customer picks a time, gets the Meet link and joins the session without coordinating over another channel.

## How Google Calendar connects to Elocuenti

- **Connect your Google account.** Authorize access to your calendar in a couple of clicks from your Elocuenti dashboard.
- **The agent learns your availability.** It reads your busy and free slots so it never offers a time that is already taken.
- **Customers book over chat.** They ask for an appointment, the agent proposes real times and confirms with the Meet link when it applies.
- **The calendar stays current.** Every booking, change or cancellation shows up in Google Calendar without anyone updating it by hand.

## Booking without Elocuenti vs with Elocuenti

What changes when an AI agent handles your scheduling.

| Aspect | Without Elocuenti | With Elocuenti |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Availability | Customers wait for someone to check the calendar | The agent checks it and answers instantly |
| Confirmation | Coordinated over calls or scattered messages | Confirmed over chat with the Meet link included |
| Reminders | Someone has to message every customer | They go out on their own before the appointment |
| Rescheduling | Customers call or message separately to change a slot | The agent reschedules in the same conversation |
| No-shows | Only noticed when the customer doesn't arrive | Drop with the automatic reminder beforehand |

## Reminders are built as an automation

The reminder before an appointment isn't a one-off message: it's an automation that fires on its own once the appointment is booked, with whatever lead time you set.
If a customer doesn't confirm, the same automation can follow up with another reminder or a call from the AI, with nobody checking the day's agenda by hand.

## It connects without touching code

Authorizing your Google Calendar takes minutes and involves no one from IT: it's a permission you grant from your dashboard, the same way you'd share your calendar with a coworker.
The agent doesn't need you to describe your business hours: it reads them straight from the calendar and keeps them current in every conversation.

- **Can the agent cancel an appointment, not just book one?** Yes, the customer asks to cancel over chat and the agent reflects it in Google Calendar right away.
