Appointment Booking System For Hospital
Hi, I am experimenting with an appointment booking system for a hospital. Can we create booking system depending on the availability of the doctors like once the user selects the doctor (through number collection method) it gives the option only to book for the same days and time depending on his availability. I know the long method of creating individual blocks for every doctors but if there are 6-7 departments and 3-4 doctors for each department it will take eternity to create and arrange everything properly. I tried integration with cal.com but It will require separate blocks and events (according to their availability) for ever doctor. Is there an easy method to it?
It has already got very crowded with all the stuff that I have added in it.

Someone will reply to you shortly. In the meantime, this might help:
Its doable but its not going to be easy. If your going to create a whole booking system then you would want some way to store that via NocoDB or a GOOGLE Sheet. Then create an account per user or per group that can be managed from a typebot interface so they can adjust there availability. Everything in typebot checking the dates and times of people who want a booking. (its alot).
Take it a step further you could use cal.com api and use it as a webhook ran by typebot.

Il not sure if the self hosted cal.com has api functions but i assume it does. From there you can just use typebot to check whos able to be booked or just let cal send a booking to whoever has a slot. (again its a bit of work)
No easy button unfortunately.
Hi,
I have created the booking system through Cal.com by setting up different events for every doctor and their respective timings. The flow works smoothly on web/ link but on WhatsApp I receive the order booking link for Cal.com and then it redirects me to the website. After booking, how can I send a confirmation message on WhatsApp or redirect user back to WhatsApp to continue the flow? because it kind of breaks the loop there.
Anyone?
Use http block to make appointment in cal.com so when on whatsapp, just ask for the date time and other required information and send it via http request (api) to cal.com. This way the user never leaves whatsapp.
Thanks. Will try!
