How to add booking?
Booking Module User Guide
This guide explains how to use the Booking Module from start to finish, including creating, viewing, and editing bookings.
Creating a Booking
There are two ways a booking can be added:
- Through AI Agents via SMS or Call
- Manually Adding a Booking
How Booking is Made Automatically
Lead Capture from Thumbtack
- When a lead is captured from Thumbtack or added manually, the AI Assistant will automatically initiate a conversation with the client over SMS.
Booking Process via SMS
- The AI Assistant will gather all necessary details for the booking (customer information, service details, etc.) and create the booking in the system.
Follow-up Voice Call
- If the client doesn’t respond to the SMS, and you have enabled the voice call feature in settings, the AI Assistant will call the client.
- The Voice Agent will then collect all required details and schedule the appointment in the system.
Manually Adding a Booking
