WhatsApp Bookings with AI: How SendApp Agent Fills Your Schedule and Updates Google Calendar
Why move bookings to WhatsApp now?
WhatsApp is now the best-performing messaging channel for conversion and response times: various 2024-2025 analyses report open rates close to 98% and average conversion rates between 45% and 60% when using structured interactive flows and templates. This, combined with the fact that over half of responses arrive within a minute, makes WhatsApp ideal for moving users from interest to booking in a single chat.
What SendApp Agent does in practice
SendApp Agent transforms WhatsApp into a 24-hour booking center: it welcomes customers, suggests available slots, records the reservation, and sends confirmations and reminders. All with official interactive messages (lists, buttons, CTAs) approved by the WhatsApp API, reducing friction during the selection process.
The ideal flow of conversational booking
Engagement: the customer writes on WhatsApp; SendApp Agent recognizes the "booking" intent.
Slot proposal: AI shows available time slots with interactive templates (e.g. “Choose day/time”), avoiding digressions and open-ended questions.
He confirms: with a tap, the customer confirms; the AI collects the essential data (name, service, number of people, notes).
Calendar: the event is created on Google Calendar with time, duration, participant and reminder (via WhatsApp).
Pre- and post-visit: automatic reminders, optional map link, cancellation policy, and follow-up for reviews or up-sells.
Why Google Calendar is the right “engine”
Google Calendar provides reliable endpoints for creating and updating events; best practices include careful time zone management and availability control to prevent overbooking. A robust integration should verify available slots before offering them in chat and use Calendar as the "source of truth."
