Adding the calendar module

Go to create a conversation or to an existing conversation: Chatbot > Add Knowledge > Conversations 

When it's time to schedule an appointment you can choose Calendar from the left menu.

Then you can indicate which option the customer will get. It is also possible to specify a time in the past, this is used for example if you want to know when a customer has been last, or when a certain event has occurred. 

The calendar has been added! 

 

By clicking on the desired date, the customer can indicate when a conversation or appointment is most convenient! You can also ask for a desired time by adding a multiple choice module with two (or more) time slots as a follow-up question.
