Scheduling & Session Management

Q: Will the automation work with our existing calendar and CRM?

Yes, the automation integrates with Google Calendar, Outlook, Calendly, HubSpot, and other mainstream tools. Your existing data and systems remain in place.

Q: How does the automation handle special requests or exceptions?

The system flags unusual requests or constraints for human review and can route them to a manager or specialist. Standard requests are processed automatically end-to-end.

Q: Can customers reschedule their own sessions?

Yes, the automation can offer a self-service rescheduling link in confirmation emails. Customers select a new time, and the system frees the old slot and rebooking instantly.

Q: What happens if a customer does not respond to the availability proposal?

The system can send a follow-up reminder after a set period (e.g., 24 hours) and escalate non-responses to your team for manual outreach if needed.

Keep every session slot filled and every guest record updated without touching a calendar manually.
