Book Services via Conversation AI
What’s New?
Users can now book appointments in Services Calendar directly through chat using Conversation AI across all supported channels, SMS, Live Chat, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
Instead of filling out forms, customers can simply describe what they need in natural language, and the AI agent takes care of the booking.
This introduces a conversational-first approach to service bookings.
How It Works
Conversation AI is now fully integrated with Services Calendar configurations, supporting:
Multiple services
Location and staff selection
Add-ons and variations
The AI understands user intent (even across multiple turns), maps it to the correct service setup, and creates accurate bookings.
You can also control:
Which services the AI should manage
Custom booking instructions for the agent
--
This is a new feature altogether from scratch , based on the feedbacks lots of enhancements will be planned and released
