WhatsApp Appointment Booking & Reminder Agent

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.
