How DM Booking Works

Conversational scheduling — no forms, no links, no friction

1

Customer Messages You

Someone DMs your Instagram or Facebook page saying they want to book. ChatGenius detects booking intent automatically.

2

AI Guides the Flow

ChatGenius walks them through service selection, date/time picking with natural language ("next Thursday 3pm"), and collects name, email, and phone.

3

Availability Check

The system checks your calendar in real-time, respects buffer times between appointments, and prevents double-booking.

4

Confirmed + Synced

Customer gets a confirmation message with all details. Appointment syncs to your Google Calendar instantly.

Booking Features

An 8-state booking machine, not a simple form

Natural Language Scheduling

Customers say "next Thursday at 3pm" or "tomorrow morning" and GPT-5 extracts the exact date and time. Supports 13 languages and cultural date formats.

Google Calendar 2-Way Sync

One-click OAuth connection. Bookings appear in your Google Calendar, and events added there are reflected in ChatGenius. Share your schedule across devices.

Concurrent Booking Prevention

When someone is booking a time slot, it's temporarily held. Two customers can't book the same slot simultaneously — even if they're both in mid-conversation.

Multiple Services

Configure different services with unique durations, pricing, and buffer times. ChatGenius presents options and lets customers choose before scheduling.

13-Language Support

Booking works in all 13 supported languages. Language lock prevents misinterpretation when customers provide dates in German, Japanese, Arabic, or any other language.

Reschedule & Cancel

Customers can reschedule or cancel through the same DM thread. ChatGenius handles the state transition and updates your Google Calendar automatically.

Use Cases

Med Spa

Botox & Filler Appointments

Client DMs "I want to book a lip filler appointment." ChatGenius collects details, checks availability, and confirms — while you're in a treatment.

Auto Detailing

Mobile Detail Bookings

Customer sends a photo of their car and asks for a detail. AI handles the quote questions, then seamlessly transitions into booking a time slot.

Online Coach

Discovery Call Scheduling

Leads who DM after seeing your reel get booked into discovery calls automatically. No Calendly link needed — the conversation IS the booking tool.

Booking System Questions

How do customers book appointments through Instagram DMs?+
Customers simply message your Instagram or Facebook page and express interest in booking. ChatGenius AI detects the booking intent, guides them through service selection, date/time picking (with natural language like "next Thursday at 3pm"), and collects their contact details.
Does ChatGenius sync with Google Calendar?+
Yes. ChatGenius has bidirectional Google Calendar sync via OAuth 2.0. Appointments booked through DMs appear in your Google Calendar instantly, and events added to Google Calendar are reflected in ChatGenius.
Can the booking system handle multiple services?+

What happens if two people try to book the same time slot?+

Yes. The booking system works in all 13 supported languages with a language lock during the booking flow to prevent misinterpretation of dates, times, and addresses in different cultural formats.
