Appointment booking
Appointment booking via WhatsApp refers to the process where customers can book an appointment directly in the chat – without external forms or telephone. The entire booking process takes place in the messenger: appointment selection, confirmation, and reminder.

Appointment booking is one of the most common use cases for automated WhatsApp communication – especially in industries such as health, beauty, gastronomy, services, and consulting. Customers today expect to be able to book appointments as easily as sending a WhatsApp message.
How does appointment booking via WhatsApp work?
A customer messages the company via WhatsApp – or clicks on a QR code or link. An AI assistant or an automated flow guides them through the available times, confirms the appointment, and saves the booking.
hellomateo can transfer this data directly into existing calendar or booking systems.
