⏰ 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
Your calendar should fill itself. That’s exactly what happens when you connect Calendly with CustomBotify.

💬 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.

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.
