Shoot Booking Bot for Photography Studios on WhatsApp

A client who already knows their package messages "book shoot" — the bot lets them pick the package, collects date, time and contact details, locks a calendar slot, and reminds them before the shoot.

Option 1

Build it as a Manual Bot

A straight, no-branch chain: package selection, date and time collection with validation, client details, a calendar hold, tagging, photographer routing, a confirmation template, and a timed reminder before the shoot.

Option 2

Build it as an AI Agent Bot

The assistant handles location, styling and weather-contingency 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 shoot booking — package, date, time, done — with automatic calendar hold and reminder.
AI agent: discusses location and lighting preferences, plus weather contingency plans, in one thread, closer to how a real studio consultation goes.
Best fit here: manual bot for straightforward, already-decided bookings; AI agent for clients wanting to discuss location, timing and backup plans before committing.

Frequently asked questions

Does the bot send a reminder before the shoot automatically?+
Yes — a Wait node holds until 1 day before the shoot, then a Template node sends the reminder automatically.
Can the bot discuss location and weather contingencies?+
The manual flow just books the named package; the AI agent version can discuss location preferences and rain/backup plans, 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.

Set up either version — manual flow or AI agent — in minutes, on WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger.
