Use the current diary
Vallamo checks the availability of the connected Google Calendar and writes booked appointments there.
Vallamo + Google Calendar
AI receptionist for Google Calendar
Vallamo is an AI receptionist for Google Calendar that lets a small business take bookings using the calendar it already keeps. It answers approved questions on website chat, WhatsApp and Instagram DMs, checks live calendar availability and adds confirmed appointments directly.
Start with the calendar you already use
A small service business may not need specialised booking software to manage a modest diary. If appointments already live in Google Calendar, Vallamo can help turn incoming messages into calendar bookings instead of another list of requests.
Match the length of the service
A short consultation and a longer treatment should not occupy the same amount of time.
Ask a human when necessary
Your team handles complicated requests and any medical, allergy or other sensitive concerns.
How the Google Calendar connection works
1. Connect Google Calendar
Choose the calendar your business actually uses to manage bookings.
2. Approve booking rules
Review the knowledge bank drafted from your website, including services and durations.
3. Make your channels available
Use Vallamo to answer messages and offer real appointment slots.
What customers see, and what your team keeps
Customers can ask a question, hear an approved answer and choose an available appointment in their preferred messaging channel. Your team continues to manage its schedule in Google Calendar, with Vallamo conversation transcripts and source references available when you need context.
Vallamo also supports human handover and live takeover, instant email alerts for new leads, and text confirmations and reminders. Optional deposit collection is available on the Growth plan. See the plans and pricing.
What is confirmed, and what needs checking
Multi-calendar conflicts, colour categories, recurring events, free/busy visibility, time zones and Google Meet links depend on your setup, so we confirm each one with you before launch.
This page describes Vallamo's confirmed general booking workflow. If your organisation relies on specific third-party custom fields, permissions or workflows, test those requirements before launch.
FAQs
The things owners ask before connecting Vallamo to Google Calendar, answered straight.
Do I need dedicated booking software?
No. Google Calendar is a live Vallamo integration. You can use your existing calendar as the booking destination.
Does Vallamo check my calendar before booking?
Yes. Vallamo reads live availability and writes confirmed appointments directly to the connected calendar to avoid a separate diary.
Can it set different lengths for different services?
Yes. Vallamo can book the appropriate service duration, including a multi-step treatment as one longer appointment.
Can it create a Google Meet link?
Whether a Google Meet link is created for a booking depends on how your calendar is set up, so we test that workflow with you before promising a video link to clients.
Will it manage several connected calendars?
How overlapping events and multiple Google calendars are handled depends on your configuration, which we confirm with you before going live.
Does it answer the phone?
Yes. Vallamo handles calls as well as website chat, WhatsApp and Instagram DMs, all with the same assistant.
