Telegram booking bot for appointments
Customers open your bot, pick a service, see the times you really have free and confirm. You get the booking in your calendar, and a Telegram message if you want one.
Quick answer
Updated
To take bookings on Telegram without code, describe your business to Meerlume and it builds a bot that shows real free slots, books the service and lets customers reschedule or cancel in the chat. In most cases Meerlume creates and connects the Telegram bot for you, with no BotFather token to copy. Telegram and the booking calendar are on the Free plan: one bot and 150 conversations a month.
What a Telegram booking bot does
It runs the conversation you would have by message: which service, which day, which time. The bot only offers slots that fit the service's duration and your opening hours, and two customers can't take the same time on one calendar.
Customers change or cancel their own booking in the same chat, and a reminder can go out before a confirmed appointment. If someone needs you, they can ask for a person, the bot pauses, and you reply yourself.
How the booking flow works
Meerlume generates these steps from your description. You can edit them on a canvas or keep chatting to the builder.
Service menu
Your services, offered as buttons by name. A customer can also type what they want in their own words.
Real time slots
Slots come from your weekly hours and one-off overrides, minus what is already booked.
Details you need
Name, phone and any questions of your own, such as a first visit or a preference.
Reminder and changes
A reminder 2 hours to 2 days before a confirmed appointment, with a way to cancel and, where your rules allow, reschedule.
Why Telegram
Telegram is on every Meerlume plan, Free included, and a bot can be live in minutes. For a business whose customers already use Telegram, that makes it the cheapest way to start taking bookings in chat.
