Campus Tour Booking Bot for Schools on WhatsApp

A parent who already wants to visit messages "book a tour" — the bot lets them pick which program to see, collects date, time and contact details, locks a calendar slot, and reminds them the day before.

Option 1

Build it as a Manual Bot

A straight, no-branch chain: program selection, date and time collection with validation, parent details, a calendar hold, tagging, counselor routing, a confirmation template, and a timed reminder the day before the tour.

Option 2

Build it as an AI Agent Bot

The assistant handles scheduling changes and program-specific questions in one continuous conversation, then still confirms a real calendar slot.

want to book a tour of the middle school10:01 AM
Sure! What day works for you?10:01 AM
this friday if possible10:01 AM
Friday 10 AM or 2 PM — either work?10:01 AM

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 tour booking — program, date, time, done — with automatic calendar hold and reminder.
AI agent: answers program-specific questions (labs, transport routes, bringing the child along) and handles time changes in one thread, closer to how an admissions office conversation actually goes.
Best fit here: manual bot for high-volume enquiry season bookings; AI agent for parents with specific questions about what the tour actually covers.

Frequently asked questions

Does the bot send a reminder before the tour automatically?+
Yes — a Wait node holds until 1 day before the tour, then a Template node sends the reminder automatically.
Can prospective students join the tour too?+
The manual flow books one contact per run; the AI agent version can naturally note that a child is joining and adjust the tour focus accordingly, as shown above.
What happens if the requested slot is already booked?+
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.
