Test Drive Booking Bot for Automotive Dealerships

A buyer who already knows which model they want messages "book a test drive" — the bot lets them pick the model, collects date, time and contact details, locks a calendar slot, and reminds them before the appointment.

Option 1

Build it as a Manual Bot

A straight, no-branch chain: model selection, date and time collection with validation, buyer details, a calendar hold, tagging, sales-executive routing, a confirmation template, and a timed reminder before the test drive.

Option 2

Build it as an AI Agent Bot

The assistant handles scheduling changes and model-comparison 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 test-drive booking — model, date, time, done — with automatic calendar hold and reminder.
AI agent: handles back-to-back model comparisons and specific focus requests in one thread, closer to how a sales consultation actually goes.
Best fit here: manual bot for straightforward, single-model bookings; AI agent for buyers actively comparing multiple models in one visit.

Frequently asked questions

Does the bot send a reminder before the test drive automatically?+
Yes — a Wait node holds until 1 day before the test drive, then a Template node sends the reminder automatically.
Can a buyer test drive more than one model in the same visit?+
The manual flow books one model per run; the AI agent version can naturally schedule back-to-back test drives for comparison, 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.
