About this project

Open

The goal of this new module, to be integrated into the existing system, is to add an automated scheduling function through WhatsApp.

In this process, the client initiates scheduling by sending a message to the chatbot. From there, the system guides them in selecting the desired service, choosing a professional, and setting an available date and time for the appointment. Once confirmed, the appointment is automatically recorded in the CRM, accessible to operators and professionals who can view, edit, reschedule, or cancel as needed.

Automatic notifications keep clients informed about appointment confirmations, changes, or reminders before the appointment. Additionally, professionals have access to a dedicated panel for independently managing their schedules.

This feature was designed to optimize customer service by automating the scheduling process, increasing operational efficiency, and enhancing the client experience.
