WhatsApp Appointment Booking & Reminder Agent
The WhatsApp Appointment Booking & Reminder Agent is an Automotive operations template that an AI employee runs end to end, covering availability check integration, booking confirmation and whatsapp reminder sequence. Customer messages WhatsApp to book an appointment. AI captures service type, preferred date/time, checks real-time availability in the calendar system, confirms booking, and sends a WhatsApp confirmation. Reminder sequence fires at 24 hours and 1 hour before the appointment. Reschedule and cancellation handled in-thread.
