What is a Telegram appointment bot?
A Telegram appointment bot lets customers book a free slot in the chat. It shows your services and open times as buttons, confirms the booking, reminds the customer before the appointment and lets them reschedule or cancel. You get each booking in a staff chat, can block times with a command, and can take a deposit by card, which Telegram allows for real-world services.
What it does, step by step
- The customer starts the bot from your profile, a QR code at the counter or your site.
- They pick a service, a staff member if you have more than one, and a free slot.
- The bot confirms and, optionally, takes a deposit.
- A reminder goes out the day before and an hour before; the customer can move or cancel.
- Your staff chat gets every booking and change;
/todaylists the day. - No-shows can be marked, and repeat no-shows asked for a deposit next time.
The Telegram rules that apply
- Deposits for real-world services can be paid by card. Telegram requires Stars only for digital goods and services; physical goods and offline services may use other providers (Stars payments guide).
- A bot cannot start a conversation. A user has to press Start or add the bot to a group first, so every message the bot sends goes to someone who asked for it.
- Every bot that takes payments must answer
/paysupportand handle payment complaints (Bot Developer Terms, section 6.2.1).
Calendar sync, and when it's worth it
If the bot is your only booking channel, its own calendar is enough and it stays on the Business package. If bookings also arrive by phone or another system, the bot should read and write your Google Calendar so nobody double-books: that is a Custom build, from $699. The same bot works for a salon, a tutor, a clinic front desk or an equipment rental, because the job is the same.
Telegram appointment bot FAQ
Can customers book appointments through a Telegram bot?
Yes. The bot shows free slots as buttons, confirms the booking, sends reminders and lets the customer reschedule or cancel inside the chat.
Can a Telegram booking bot take a deposit?
Yes, by card for real-world services. Telegram requires Stars only for digital goods and services sold inside the bot.
Does it sync with Google Calendar?
It can, as a Custom build. On its own the bot keeps its calendar; with sync it also reads and writes your Google Calendar so phone bookings and bot bookings never clash.
How much does an appointment bot cost?
$349 one-time on the Business package, or from $699 with Google Calendar sync.
