Book appointments without the phone tag
Users report bots that find open slots, fill booking or contact forms, and book only the time they pick. Phone calls need a calling plugin.

The problem
Booking a dentist, vet, doctor, or hard-to-get table means phone menus, forms, and checking back.
How the bot does it
Users report:
- One user reports that when his bot couldn't make calls, it left a message in the dental office's contact form asking for an appointment, and the office later called him (@chrisfleck). That's one person's experience, and offices respond differently. A secondhand roundup (@AgentRevenueLab) mentions another dentist booking.
- @enriikke asked a bot to book a vet visit for his dogs and says it needed some help from him (single source).
- @ashen_one made a bot that checks booked-out restaurants every few hours for an opening (single source).
- A secondhand @grok reply says a user's Bland setup with Grok Bot got through a clinic's phone tree and booked a doctor visit (single source). Phone calls need a calling plugin.
The bot stops before confirming or paying. Many booking sites ask for a card hold, so it asks you first.
Setup steps
- 1Tell it the office, the type of visit, and your time window.
- 2Let it read your calendar and show you the best slots.
- 3If there's no online booking, have it draft a contact-form message: Draft, I send.
- 4Tell it: Stop and ask me before confirming a booking or paying.
Example prompt
Find a [visit type] at [office] in the next [two weeks] that fits my calendar. Show me the three best slots. Book only the one I pick, or draft a contact-form request if there's no online booking. Stop and ask me before submitting or paying anything.
The result
A short list of slots that fit your calendar, or a contact-form draft you approve. Users say results depend on the office's site, and some needed to step in.
Results are the user's own claim. We haven't checked them.
