After signing up, log in to your Pabbly account. Click on the ‘Access Now’ button under the Pabbly Chatflow box to enter the dashboard. Here, you will add your WhatsApp number by clicking on the ‘Add WhatsApp Number’ button and following the prompts to integrate it with your chatbot.

2. Creating the WhatsApp Chatbot for Appointment Booking

Now we have to work on creating the chatbot flow using Pabbly Chatflow. In the flow builder, click on the ‘Add Flow’ button to create a new chatbot. Name your chatbot something relevant, like ‘Dental Appointment Booking Bot’. For the trigger, select ‘Keyword or Reject Match’ to initiate the chatbot when a specific keyword is sent.

• Type ‘dentist’ as the first keyword.
• Type ‘appointment’ as the second keyword.

Once the keywords are set, drag the ‘Text’ action into the flow to send a welcome message. Here, you can add a message like, ‘Hello, welcome to Smilecraft Dental Clinic. You can book your dental appointment in just a few seconds. Please click below to continue.’ Add a quick reply button labeled ‘Book Appointment’ for user interaction.

3. Collecting Appointment Details from Customers

Next, we will collect essential details from the customer using Pabbly Connect. After the customer clicks the ‘Book Appointment’ button, use the ‘Ask Question’ feature to prompt them for their full name. Create a custom field to store this response.

Continue with additional questions for the appointment date, time, and treatment type. After gathering all details, send a confirmation message summarizing the information collected. Include quick reply buttons for ‘Yes’ to confirm or ‘No’ to cancel. This interaction keeps the booking process smooth and user-friendly.

• Ask for the full name.
• Ask for the preferred appointment date.
• Ask for the appointment time.
• Ask for the treatment type.

By structuring these questions, you ensure that all necessary information is collected efficiently, making the booking process seamless for your customers.

4. Integrating with Google Sheets Using Pabbly Connect

After confirming the appointment details, it’s time to integrate with Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect. First, create a new workflow in Pabbly Connect by clicking on the ‘Create Workflow’ button. Name your workflow appropriately, such as ‘Smilecraft Dental Appointment Booking Bot’.

Select Pabbly Chatflow as your trigger application and choose ‘New Message Received’ as the event. Once you connect your account, you will receive a webhook URL. Copy this URL and paste it into the API request section of your chatbot flow.

Select Google Sheets as the action application. Choose ‘Add New Row’ as the action event. Connect your Google Sheets account.

Map the appointment details you collected from the customer to the respective columns in your Google Sheet. This integration ensures that every appointment request is logged automatically, streamlining your workflow and reducing manual entry errors.

5. Finalizing the Integration and Testing

Finally, save your flow in Pabbly Chatflow and test the entire process to ensure everything works correctly. Send a test message with the keywords you set up, and follow through the booking process as if you were a customer. Ensure that all details are captured accurately and that they are sent to your Google Sheet through Pabbly Connect.

Once you confirm that the workflow operates smoothly, you can start using your WhatsApp chatbot for real bookings. This system will allow customers to book appointments easily, and you will have all the information stored in Google Sheets for easy access and management.
