Appointment management on WhatsApp: your calendar, managed flawlessly¶

In short: imagine a highly skilled secretary, dedicated only to your practice, handling every appointment with absolute precision and never getting it wrong. That is what Wably does: managing appointments is no longer your problem. No double bookings, no overlaps, no clients put in the wrong slot.

How appointment management works on WhatsApp¶

Any ordinary online calendar shows fixed slots that drift out of step with reality as soon as you add something by hand. Wably does something different: it checks your real calendar on every request, at the moment the client is writing, and offers only the slots that are genuinely free right then.

That means an appointment you have just written down in person on your phone is already taken into account in the conversation currently under way. There is no window of misalignment in which two bookings can overlap.

Your calendar's rules, always respected¶

The assistant does not offer random times inside your opening hours. It knows your practice's rules and applies them to every single proposal.

The right length for each appointment. Thirty, forty-five, sixty minutes: every appointment takes exactly the time that service needs, not a standard block that is the same for everyone. On the Standard plan you can set two different lengths, for example a first visit and a follow-up, each with the name you choose.

Your breathing room between clients. The pause to tidy up, take notes, let the person get changed. Never back-to-back appointments that jam your day and put you behind from eleven o'clock onwards.

Your real hours, split ones included. Morning and afternoon, say 9 to 1 and 3 to 7, with the lunch break excluded from the slots offered. Not a naive single block from opening to closing.

No last-minute rush. No "in five minutes" appointments: the assistant always leaves your minimum lead time, so you do not find somebody at the door while you are still with the previous client.

The right time for everyone. A client writing from abroad gets the correct time in their own time zone, with no misunderstandings and nobody turning up an hour out.

You set them up just once from the business hours screen, and from then on they are applied to every conversation, forever.

Booking, rescheduling and cancelling: all in the same chat¶

Taking the appointment is only the first of three moments, and it is often not the one that costs you the most time.

Reschedules. The client writes to say something has come up and asks to move the appointment earlier or later. The assistant offers the available alternatives, confirms the new date and updates the calendar, without you having to find the original appointment and write it out again.

Cancellations. The appointment is cancelled and the slot becomes available again immediately for anyone else writing in at that moment. If the cancellation comes in close to the appointment time, you also get an immediate alert so you can fill the slot that just opened up.

Confirmations. With automatic reminders switched on, the client confirms or asks to reschedule with a single tap, the day before the appointment.

These are all operations that happen inside the same WhatsApp conversation, with no external links, no forms to fill in and nothing for the client to download.

Always in sync with your Google Calendar¶

If you move or cancel an appointment by hand in your Google Calendar, Wably notices and stays aligned: it writes and updates appointments in your calendar, which remains the single source of truth.

This is the point that separates a real integration from a simple export. There are not two calendars to keep in sync by hand: there is only one, yours, and the assistant works inside it.

Why there are no double bookings¶

It is worth explaining, because it is the number one fear of anyone handing their calendar over to an automated system.

A double booking happens when two sources write to the same calendar without seeing each other: you noting things down by hand and a system noting things down automatically. Wably removes the problem at the root by not keeping a calendar of its own: it reads and writes directly in your Google Calendar, so it sees everything you see, including what you have just added.
