WhatsApp Appointment Booking Bot
Intelligent WhatsApp bot handling appointment scheduling, reminders, and follow-ups with Google Calendar integration.
The Challenge
A professional services firm was losing bookings to missed calls and slow email responses, with scheduling handled manually by their receptionist.
The Approach
Designed a conversational flow covering the full booking lifecycle: availability check, confirmation, reminder, rescheduling, and post-appointment follow-up. Prioritized natural language over rigid menus.
The Solution
Built a WhatsApp Cloud API bot with NLP-based intent detection, real-time Google Calendar sync, automated reminders at 24h and 1h before appointments, and a Supabase backend for booking history and analytics.

Human handoff is an explicit escape path: a conversation can be passed to a person at any point rather than being forced to stay automated.
