Automate Reservations with SendApp
Appointments via SendApp: Send automatic messages in chat. This article answers the question of whether it's possible to manage confirmations and reminders for appointments and bookings via SendApp. The answer is yes. Let's look at how to integrate SendApp into an appointment management system, discussing the necessary programs, expertise, and costs.
The importance of an effective management system
You'll undoubtedly notice the cost of customers who don't show up or cancel reservations at the last minute. This lack of respect can have a significant impact on restaurants, hair salons, and real estate agencies. Therefore, it's important to have an effective system for managing reservations and avoiding unnecessary losses.
Appointment management on SendApp: the differences
There will always be a chance of missing an appointment. However, this frequency can be reduced by using online messaging platforms like SendApp, a popular choice for Italians. A SendApp system offers numerous advantages, including: maximum information in a single message, control over confirmation requests, confirmation of appointment times, and a sense of professionalism and organization.
Sending software needed
It's important to remember that SendApp doesn't integrate directly with other digital solutions. SendApp sending software is required. There are two types of software solutions: Business Providers with official SendApp APIs and unofficial sending software. Both systems have their pros and cons, so it's important to carefully consider which option is best for you.
Organizing appointments on SendApp
Once your number is associated with a SendApp sending tool, you can create an automatic confirmation system. The specific procedure depends on your starting situation. Consider whether you're creating an appointment management system from scratch, whether you're already using digital programs like Google Calendar, Calendly, etc., or whether you're working from a management software that sends emails and/or messages.
Regardless of your current situation, you can optimize your appointment management system using SendApp. You'll connect with your clients faster and more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of missed appointments and saving money in the long run.
What you need is simply to connect two elements. Depending on the tools used, you may be able to connect directly or use integration software like Zapier, Pabbly, or Make to transfer the appointment data to the dispatcher.
Even if you're just using the software, there are two ways to integrate WhatsApp: either work directly with the program (in which case, the company that provides the system must make the necessary changes) or determine whether it's possible to extract the appointment data and convert it into a WhatsApp message.
You can manage an appointment on WhatsApp in two or three messages: immediate confirmation with data summary, a reminder near the event, and, if you wish, a request for feedback afterwards. With an advanced system, all these messages can be automated and customized.
In the event that an appointment is canceled or postponed, it's important that the system properly handles the unexpected event. In a professional WhatsApp appointment management system, if an appointment is canceled, the client should receive a confirmation in the chat (possibly with a rescheduling suggestion), and if automatic reminders are scheduled, they will be deleted from the schedule and not sent.
Some companies offer automated WhatsApp systems, but most of them are Business Provider Bees. This means that managing chat appointments requires removing WhatsApp from your phone. However, there are solutions that allow you to send booking confirmation messages and reminders, allowing you to continue using WhatsApp as usual.
The cost of an automated appointment management system with WhatsApp depends on several factors, including the starting infrastructure, the sending tool, and the work involved in setting up the system.
