Build Smart Appointment Booking Bots Using Calendly & CustomBotify

⏰ Booking Appointments Shouldn’t Be a Full-Time Job
If you’re still emailing back-and-forth to lock down appointment times, you're not just wasting time — you’re losing bookings.
Whether you’re a:
- Coach
- Consultant
- Clinic
- Freelancer
💬 What This Automation Looks Like
Here’s a real example of a smart booking bot:
- A lead visits your site or clicks a link
- They get a WhatsApp or Instagram DM instantly
- The bot says: “Pick a time that works for you”
- Calendly opens directly inside the chat
- After booking, they get an SMS + email confirmation
- A reminder is sent 1 hour before the appointment
No back-and-forth. No missed leads.

🔗 Calendly + CustomBotify = Booking Magic
By connecting your Calendly account inside the CustomBotify flow builder, you can:
- Offer real-time available time slots
- Auto-trigger reminders via WhatsApp, SMS, or Email
- Reschedule and cancel within chat
- Collect pre-call information (like topic, service, location)
- Tag users in CRM after booking
📈 The Results You Can Expect
- 📅 3x increase in bookings
- 🔔 60% drop in no-shows
- 🕐 Appointments booked outside business hours
- 💬 More leads converted automatically
One consultant even called it their “virtual receptionist that never sleeps.”
💡 Smart Add-Ons to Make It Better
- 🔹 Pre-booking qualification — Ask 2–3 questions before showing the calendar. Example: “Are you looking for a 1:1 call or a group session?” → Custom link shows based on answer.
- 🔹 Payment step before booking — Connect Stripe to take payment before the calendar appears.
- 🔹 Reminder + confirmation combo — Send an SMS reminder + WhatsApp message 1 hour before the session.

It works perfectly for:
- 🧑⚕️ Clinics & doctors
- 🎓 Coaches & mentors

- 💇♀️ Salons & spas
