the problem

Up to 3 hours a day went to chats and a notebook

The guide copied data from chats into her notebook and answered the same questions again and again.

Answers came late. And clients who clicked “Book” but didn't choose a time were simply lost.

what I built

A bot that keeps the booking moving

I looked at the guide's daily routine first and mapped the booking and chat flow in Miro. Then I built it in ManyChat and Make.

  1. 1Track every click. The bot records each click in the funnel.
  2. 2Answer typical questions. The AI FAQ answers about 90% of them.
  3. 3Find stuck bookings. If a client clicks “Book” and picks a time, the booking goes through Calendly. If not, the bot marks this client as stuck.
  4. 4Send a gentle reminder. A short message brings the client back to the booking.
  5. 5Save the data. All data goes to Google Sheets in a clear structure, so nobody copies it by hand.
