📅 Weekly Training Recording

In this week’s training, we walked through how the Appointment Calendar controls bot bookings and how to properly configure availability, scheduling notice, and booking limits. We also covered how to handle bot booking errors, how to block off time correctly without changing core availability, and how to manage time zone settings. Additional topics included lead volume planning, requesting lead uploads, A2P registration, and phone number setup.

  • How to set weekly availability and use the “Block Off Time” feature for one-off schedule changes

  • How to configure:

    • 30-minute appointment durations

    • Scheduling notice (e.g., 3-hour minimum notice)

    • Maximum bookings per slot

    • Booking date range (recommended: 7 days out)

  • The difference between:

    • “No availability” calendar issues

    • Bot booking errors caused by internal AI glitches

  • How to respond when a bot booking error notification appears

  • Importance of verifying correct time zone settings (both account and lead-level time zones)

  • How to check missed notifications in the mobile app and desktop notification bell

  • Lead volume planning and when to request additional lead uploads
