Start with the services you actually offer
Enable Services and Appointments together with Customers, then add the active services customers can request. Set each service’s name, description, price, and duration in the portal. The assistant looks up that catalog before saving a request.
Keep your business timezone and opening-hour instructions accurate. The assistant interprets requested dates and times in that timezone and asks for clarification when details are incomplete.
Collect the details in the conversation
When a customer explicitly asks to book, the assistant collects the service, name, reason for the visit, preferred date and time, and the contact details needed to identify the request. Website chat asks for a phone number with country code.
- The service must exist and be active in your catalog.
- The customer must provide the required booking details.
- A successful save creates an appointment the team can see in the portal.
Your team confirms the appointment
A saved appointment starts as Scheduled and waits for staff confirmation. Your team can review it, confirm it, reschedule it, or cancel it in the portal. With Leads enabled, the saved appointment can also connect the enquiry to a customer record.
stilltyping does not check a live staff calendar or reserve an exclusive slot. Review availability before confirming. Changes to an existing appointment are handled by your team in the portal.

Common questions
Is an appointment automatically confirmed?
No. A successful chat booking creates a Scheduled appointment pending staff confirmation. Your team reviews availability before confirming it.
Does it check a live calendar for free slots?
No. The current booking flow saves a preferred time and does not reserve staff or resources. Your team checks availability.
Can a customer reschedule through the assistant?
Staff handle rescheduling and cancellation in the portal. The assistant should direct a change request to the team rather than create another booking.
