In today’s fast-paced digital world, managing appointments can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with multiple clients. Thanks to the new Appointment Booking Conversation AI Workflow Action in GoHighLevel (GHL), you can now automate the process, saving time and effort. This AI feature allows you to schedule appointments seamlessly for both you and your clients. Here’s a breakdown of how this feature works and why it’s a must-have in your toolset.
Components of the Workflow Action
- Calendar Integration
The AI bot uses a specified calendar to fetch available slots and suggest them to the contact. Once the contact selects a time, the appointment is booked directly on that calendar. However, recurring calendars are not supported at this time, which means that each appointment is handled as a one-time event. Benefit:
This feature ensures that all available time slots are accurately displayed, making it easy to manage bookings efficiently. - Personality and Additional Instructions
Customization is key when working with AI. With this feature, you can input personality traits and specific instructions to align the bot with your brand voice. This increases the likelihood of successful appointment bookings as the bot communicates in a way that resonates with your target audience.Benefit:
By adding personality, you make the experience more human-like, fostering a more engaging conversation with your clients. - Maximum Messages Limit
To prevent the bot from overwhelming the contact with messages, there’s a cap on the number of messages it can send during the appointment booking process. The limit ranges from 5 to 25 messages, with the recommended value set at 15. If the AI fails to secure an appointment within the set limit, the contact is routed down the “Appointment Not Booked” branch.Benefit:
This prevents spammy communication and ensures the process remains smooth and concise. - Time Out Value and Unit
The AI bot waits for a specified period for a contact to respond. If there’s no reply within that timeframe, the contact is sent down the “Time Out” branch. You can also set a “GoTo” action to make the bot follow up with the contact.Benefit:
This follow-up mechanism ensures that missed responses don’t lead to lost opportunities. It gives a second chance for the bot to re-engage with the contact. - Channel Support
The AI bot works across multiple conversation channels such as SMS, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram (IG). This multi-channel functionality makes it easier to communicate with your audience wherever they prefer to engage.Benefit:
Flexibility in channel options allows you to meet your clients where they are, increasing the chances of booking an appointment. - Confirmation Message Customization
By default, the AI bot sends a confirmation message after a successful booking. However, you can disable this feature, and instead, send the contact down the “Appointment Booked” branch. If you choose this option, make sure to add a custom confirmation message in that branch to maintain a smooth flow in communication.Benefit:
Customizing this message keeps the conversation going, maintaining a professional tone and ensuring that the client feels informed throughout the process.
