Now Zobot can log your appointments with Zoho Bookings!

Hi everyone, good to see you!

Here's a simple yet efficient Zobot for organizing and scheduling appointments via Zoho Bookings. This Zobot can start a proactive conversation, schedule appointments/bookings with your website visitors on their preferred date & time, and makes the job easier for both operator and visitor. You can do slight customization to the script given here according to your business needs and use it on your website instantly.

How does this Zobot work?

This bot is integrated with Zoho bookings. It can engage visitors, list the available services, and schedule a booking on available slots only after verifying via email OTP . 
  • Schedule bookings: The Bot collects email, preferred date and time by calender widget and schedules a booking in available slots. 
  • Track bookings: The Bot assists in checking the status of bookings by simply receiving a booking ID from the user.
  • Verify email: The Bot is programmed to verify the email by sending OTP,  only verified visitors will be allowed to do further process. 
  • Reschedule bookings: The Bot can reschedule an appointment on the available slots by simply receiving a booking ID.
