Appointment Booking Bot for Auto Repair Centers on WhatsApp

A car owner who already knows what they need messages "book service" — the bot lets them pick the service, collects date, time and vehicle details, locks a calendar slot, and reminds them the day before.

Option 1

Build it as a Manual Bot

A straight, no-branch chain: service selection, date and time collection with validation, vehicle and contact details, a calendar hold, tagging, service-advisor routing, a confirmation template, and a timed reminder the day before.

Option 2

Build it as an AI Agent Bot

The assistant handles cost, timing and add-on service questions in one continuous conversation, then still confirms a real calendar slot.

Unlike the manual bot above, this isn't one node in a flow — it's a separate AI assistant mode that takes over the entire conversation and replies in natural language until it's switched off.

Which fits this use case?

Manual bot: fast, predictable booking — service, date, time, done — with automatic calendar hold and reminder.
AI agent: handles pricing, add-on services and timing questions in one thread, closer to how a service advisor conversation actually goes.
Best fit here: manual bot for routine, repeat service bookings; AI agent for customers wanting to add services or understand costs before committing.

Frequently asked questions

Does the bot send a reminder before the service appointment automatically?+
Yes — a Wait node holds until 1 day before the appointment, then a Template node sends the reminder automatically.
Can customers add extra services to their booking?+
The manual flow books one named service per run; the AI agent version can naturally add extra services (like a tire check) in the same conversation, as shown above.
What happens if the requested slot is already taken?+
The Google Calendar integration checks for conflicts before confirming and re-prompts for an alternate time.
Is this available on Instagram and Messenger too?+
Yes, the same List → Date → Time → Calendar flow runs identically on WhatsApp, Instagram DMs and Messenger.
