At the end of this blog post, you will know how to schedule meetings through your chatbot using CustomGPT Persona.

Why Use a Chatbot To Schedule Meetings?

There’s immense value in using a chatbot to offer to schedule meetings. It represents a strategic move towards automation, efficiency, and improved customer service. Here’s why your business should consider it:

24/7 Availability: Unlike human representatives, chatbots can operate round the clock. They can offer to schedule meetings at any time, providing customers with constant and immediate service. This kind of accessibility is highly valued in our increasingly digital, always-on world.

Reduced Drop-off Rate: The faster you can get a customer from showing interest to taking action, the lower the chance they will drop off. By offering to schedule a meeting in the conversation itself, you’re reducing the steps the customer has to take, and thus potentially reducing drop-off rates.

Accessibility & Convenience: The biggest advantage of using a chatbot for scheduling meetings is that it offers unparalleled accessibility. Customers can schedule meetings at any time of day without needing to wait for business hours. This convenience often translates into increased customer satisfaction and engagement.

Improved User Experience: By offering to schedule meetings, the chatbot makes the user journey more interactive and personalized. It can provide immediate responses, helping users feel more valued and attended to.

Consistent Service Quality: While human performance can fluctuate, a chatbot offers consistent service quality. It will always follow the programmed protocol, ensuring every user receives the same high-standard service.

Scale Customer Interactions: Unlike human agents, chatbots can interact with unlimited users simultaneously. This scalability can be particularly useful for businesses with a large customer base or those looking to grow.

Incorporating a feature into your chatbot that offers to schedule meetings can elevate your business by improving efficiency, customer satisfaction, and scalability. With our easy-to-use “recipe,” you can seamlessly integrate this feature into your chatbot and start reaping these benefits. Stay tuned for the next section where we’ll walk you through how to implement this effectively.

How to Schedule Meetings Through Your Chatbot

Using Persona, you can train the bot to act as your scheduling coordinator, facilitating a link between your customers and whichever platform you use to organize meetings. 

In Persona (Project -> Project Settings -> Chatbot -> Custom Persona), simply type in instructions for the chatbot to collect the desired information. 

Take a look at this example Persona definition:

You are an AI customer service chatbot. Your purpose is to be the customers' reliable, 24/7 assistant, always ready to offer a helping hand. You're knowledgeable and efficient but approachable and light-hearted too, often sprinkling the conversation with friendly humor to lighten the mood. Understand the unique situation of each customer, empathize with their concerns, and provide custom solutions. If you detect satisfaction with the company from the user, offer them the option to meet with our CEO using this link, https://customgpt.ai/contact-sales/

Notice the calendly link at the end. When appropriate, the chatbot will suggest the link to schedule the meeting.

What can this do for your business?

Prompting the user with a “schedule a meeting” invite from your chatbot, especially when it’s well-timed and contextual, can be a powerful tool for your business. Here’s how it can add value:

Improve User Engagement

A chatbot that prompts users to schedule a meeting can actively drive engagement. It brings an element of proactiveness, making users feel more attended to and valued. This proactive approach can make a significant difference in user satisfaction and loyalty.

Boost Conversion Rates

This feature can increase your conversion rates by providing users with an easy and immediate way to take the next step in their customer journey. Instead of navigating away to find a way to book a meeting, they can do so directly within the chat interface, thereby reducing drop-offs and boosting conversions.

Deliver Personalized Experience

Your chatbot, armed with the right context and customer data, can offer personalized meeting prompts. For example, if a user was exploring your high-tier services, the chatbot could prompt a meeting with your premium service team. This level of personalization can significantly enhance the customer experience.

Accelerate Sales Cycle

By providing an immediate path for users to engage deeper with your business, you can significantly speed up the sales cycle. Immediate scheduling reduces the lag between interest and action, getting you closer to closing deals quicker.

Extend Customer Service Availability

A chatbot doesn’t clock out. It can prompt users to schedule a meeting any time of the day, ensuring your business is always available to move the conversation forward, even outside of regular business hours.


Implementing a feature that prompts users with a “schedule a meeting” invite in your chatbot can help increase engagements, enhance user experience, streamline operations, and drive growth. With our simple-to-use recipe, you can bring this capability to your chatbot and take your customer interactions to the next level. 

This new feature of Persona customization in CustomGPT reinforces the idea that a well-crafted AI can truly adapt to your business needs and serve as a powerful tool in providing top-tier service to your customers. Make the most of this feature to harness the full potential of what AI can do for your business.

Live Demo

The chatbot on our own website, customgpt.ai, has now been enhanced with a custom persona (See persona definition here). You can see a live demo below.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How will the chatbot know when to offer a meeting link?

Using the recipes, you can train your chatbot to identify key phrases, questions, or topics that suggest the user might benefit from a meeting. When these are detected, the chatbot can then offer the scheduling link proactively.

  1. Can the chatbot offer my existing calendar system?

Yes, the chatbot can offer your existing scheduling system as long as it has a link that the chatbot can suggest to the user. 

  1. Can the bot detect frustration or happiness?

Yes – the cool thing about ChatGPT is that you can include such instructions to detect frustration or happiness. Based on that, you can take appropriate actions. For example: “If you detect frustration in the user messages, please give the user the option to escalate to a live agent at https://yourdomain.com/live-agent/”.

  1. Can the chatbot handle multiple team members’ schedules?

Absolutely. You can instruct the chatbot to offer scheduling options for multiple team members or different departments based on the context of the conversation or user preference.

  1. How do I control the chatbot’s tone when offering to schedule a meeting?

With the Persona feature, you can customize the chatbot’s behavior, tone, and voice, making the interaction as formal or casual as you prefer.

  1. Can I review and adjust the meeting requests made through the chatbot?

Yes, you can have full control over meeting requests made through the chatbot. The level of autonomy you give your chatbot can be adjusted according to your preference. For example, if you use a system like Calendly for your meetings, you can have multiple links and then offer different scheduling links based on the sitation.

7. What if my business needs change? Can I modify how the chatbot handles meeting scheduling?

Absolutely. The beauty of our system is its flexibility. You can update the recipes or Persona descriptions at any time to suit your changing business needs and improve your chatbot’s responses.

8. Do you have a library of personas that we can learn from?

Yes – we have created a library of personas and recipes that you can use to put together your custom instructions for your chatbot. You can access the library here: https://github.com/Poll-The-People/customgpt-cookbook/tree/main/personas

9. I’m new to the Persona feature. Where can I get support in implementing this recipe?

Our dedicated support team is always ready to assist. You can also refer to our detailed guides and tutorials on the Persona feature and its various recipes.

10. Can I customize the “schedule a meeting” prompts? 

Absolutely! CustomGPT’s Persona feature allows you to customize the behavior of your chatbot, including its tone, voice, and specific responses like the scheduling prompts.

Remember: You are instructing the chatbot to behave the way you want in plain English. There is no coding involved here. With this feature and the power of ChatGPT, you are now instructing the chatbot simply with the power of your language — something that was previously the domain of programmers.

11. How will the chatbot handle time zone differences?

Since the chatbot itself does not collect you meeting preferences and compile a schedule itself, whether or not the chatbot can account for time zone differences depends on the scheduling service to which you are linking.
