Optional channel
A Telegram bot for your business.
Your booking page and widget work without Telegram. If your clients like to message you on Telegram, a bot can add one more way to book. We connect the channel for a specific business on request.
The Telegram channel is connected for each business separately, on request, and is off by default. What the bot will handle — booking, reminders, alerts to you — is agreed when we connect it. Your schedule and clients are the same as on your business page: one time slot never goes to two clients.
