AI Conversational Appointment Booking Workflow and Setup
Welcome to this comprehensive guide on setting up an AI Conversational Appointment booking bot within a workflow! In this article, we will walk you through each step and provide detailed instructions on configuring your appointment bot for seamless appointment scheduling. Let’s get started!
Create Workflow
The first step in setting up your AI Conversational Appointment booking bot is to create a workflow. To do this, you will need to add a trigger that determines when the bot should initiate the conversation. One common trigger is when the customer replies, but you can choose any other trigger that suits your needs.
Select the AI appointment bot in the workflow options
Next, you will need to select the AI appointment bot in the workflow options. This will assign the appointment bot to handle the conversation and booking process. Make sure to configure the bot with the desired calendar, so it can effectively schedule appointments based on availability.

Set the ‘Total bot processing duration’
To ensure a smooth conversation flow and prevent the bot from waiting indefinitely for a response, it is important to set the ‘Total bot processing duration’. This duration determines how long the bot will wait for a reply from the contact before timing out. You can customize this duration to meet your specific requirements.
The AI conversation will end in one of the three ways
During the conversation, there are three possible outcomes that will determine how the AI conversation ends. The first outcome is when the bot successfully books the appointment. In this case, the conversation will conclude with a successfully booked appointment.
The second outcome occurs when the bot times out. This happens when the lead fails to respond to the prompts by the bot within the specified bot processing duration. When the bot times out, the appointment will not be booked.
The third outcome is when the appointment cannot be booked for other reasons. This could be due to various factors such as no suitable slot available, the bot’s inability to understand the query, or other technical issues. In such cases, the appointment will not be booked, and the conversation will end.

Create a condition if the bot booked an appointment
To effectively handle the outcome of the appointment booking process, it is essential to create a condition that checks if the bot successfully booked an appointment. This condition will serve as a trigger for further actions or messages depending on the booking status.
Create a message or any action for the appointment booked condition
Once the appointment booking condition is met, you can create a message or any other desired action to acknowledge the successful booking. This could include sending a confirmation message to the lead with the appointment details or any other relevant information.

Secondary condition if the appointment is not booked due to bot timeout
In cases where the appointment is not booked due to bot timeout, it is important to have a secondary condition that identifies this specific reason. By creating this secondary condition, you can effectively differentiate between appointments not booked due to bot timeout and appointments not booked for other reasons.
Here we want to know if the appointment was not booked because the bot timed out or for some other reason
The secondary condition mentioned earlier helps identify if the appointment was not booked because the bot timed out. However, it is also crucial to determine if there are any other reasons why the appointment was not booked. Common reasons could include the unavailability of suitable time slots or the bot’s inability to understand the conversation.

Configure appropriate actions for bot failures for any other reason
In cases where the appointment is not booked for reasons other than bot timeout, it is necessary to configure appropriate actions to handle these failures. Depending on your setup, you may choose to redirect the lead to a different platform or provide alternative options for appointment scheduling. If you have the Eliza Agent Platform Subscription, you can seamlessly transfer the lead to continue the lead nurture process.
By following these steps and setting up your AI Conversational Appointment booking bot with the appropriate workflow, triggers, and conditions, you can efficiently automate the appointment booking process and enhance customer engagement.
