Booking and capacity management involves receiving customer requests, checking availability across multiple calendars and resources, and confirming bookings while maintaining accurate records.
Automation checks real-time availability against all calendars and resources, confirms bookings instantly, logs details in the CRM, and sends reminders automatically. The result is faster confirmations, zero double-bookings, and consistent customer communication.
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
A customer submits a booking request via email, contact form, or messaging platform. The automation captures the request, extracts customer details, and initiates the workflow.
The automation queries and the resource allocation spreadsheet to check if the requested slot is free and all required resources are available.
The automation evaluates the request against business rules such as minimum notice period, service duration, staff qualifications, and any customer restrictions.
If the slot is available and rules are met, the automation reserves the slot, marks resources as allocated, and updates the master spreadsheet.
A personalized confirmation email is sent to the customer with booking details, instructions, and a calendar invite.
The booking is automatically created as a contact record and activity, tagged with service type, date, and customer information.
Automated reminders are scheduled to be sent 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment.
If a customer cancels or reschedules, the automation frees the slot, updates all calendars and the CRM, and sends a new confirmation or cancellation notice.
