Book Appointments Right in WhatsApp
Your clients live on WhatsApp. Now they can book appointments, ask questions, and manage their visits without ever leaving the app. Cora turns WhatsApp into your salon's most powerful booking channel.
Why WhatsApp Is the Perfect Booking Channel
WhatsApp has 2+ billion users worldwide and is the most-used messaging app in most markets. Your clients already check WhatsApp dozens of times a day. Making it possible to book appointments right there — without downloading an app, creating an account, or even visiting your website — removes every barrier to booking.
WhatsApp message open rate (vs. 20% email)
average time to complete a booking via WhatsApp
higher response rate than phone or email
friction — no app downloads, no account creation
How a WhatsApp Booking Conversation Works
Here's what it looks like when a client books through WhatsApp:
Hi! I'd like to book a balayage appointment
Hi Sarah! I'd love to help you book a balayage. Would you prefer to see Jessica or Maria? Here are their available times this week:
Jessica: Wed 2pm, Thu 10am, Sat 11am
Maria: Tue 3pm, Fri 1pm, Sat 9am
Saturday 11am with Jessica please!
Booked! Saturday at 11 AM with Jessica for balayage. You'll get a reminder on Friday. See you then! 💇♀️
Total time: under 90 seconds. No hold music, no phone tag, no website forms.

How It Works

Connect WhatsApp Business
Link your WhatsApp Business account to DINGG AI. We help you set up a verified business profile with your salon's name, logo, and details.
Configure Your Services & Availability
Tell Cora about your services, team, pricing, and hours. She'll use this to provide accurate information and book correctly within WhatsApp conversations.
Share Your WhatsApp Link
Add your WhatsApp booking link to your Google Business Profile, Instagram bio, website, and business card. Clients tap once and start booking.
Benefits of WhatsApp Booking

No new app to download, no website to navigate. Clients book in the messaging app they already use every day.
24/7 Booking Availability
Cora handles WhatsApp conversations around the clock as part of the 24/7 AI receptionist experience.
Higher Confirmation Rates
WhatsApp reminders have 98% open rates. Clients who confirm via WhatsApp have significantly lower no-show rates.
Part of Unified Inbox
WhatsApp conversations flow into Cora's multi-channel inbox alongside Instagram, SMS, and phone for complete visibility.

WhatsApp feels more personal than a booking form. Clients feel like they're chatting with your salon, building stronger relationships.
