Interview Booking Bot for Recruitment Agencies on WhatsApp

A candidate who already has a role in mind messages "book interview" — the bot lets them pick the role, collects date, time and contact details, locks a calendar slot, and reminds them before the interview.

Option 1

Build it as a Manual Bot

A straight, no-branch chain: role selection, date and time collection with validation, candidate details, a calendar hold, tagging, recruiter routing, a confirmation template, and a timed reminder before the interview.

Option 2

Build it as an AI Agent Bot

The assistant handles interview-prep and scheduling-change 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 interview booking — role, date, time, done — with automatic calendar hold and reminder.
AI agent: explains interview format and prep expectations in one thread, closer to how a recruiter conversation actually goes.
Best fit here: manual bot for straightforward, already-decided interview bookings; AI agent for candidates wanting to understand what to expect before committing to a slot.

Frequently asked questions

Does the bot send a reminder before the interview automatically?+
Yes — a Wait node holds until 1 day before the interview, then a Template node sends the reminder automatically.
Can the bot explain interview format and prep expectations?+
The manual flow just books the slot; the AI agent version can explain the interview structure and what to prepare, 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.
