title: "How to handle booking and appointment requests with AI"
description: "Connect the assistant to your real calendar or booking system so it only offers times that are actually free, and write down your rules for notice periods, fees and who can be booked for what. AI reads each request, offers options or confirms the change, and sends a clear confirmation. Requests outside the rules, sensitive situations and anything involving a fee or refund go to a person, and every change is recorded in the booking system."

# How can a business use AI to handle new bookings, changes and cancellations without double-booking or upsetting customers?
Connect the assistant to your real calendar or booking system so it only offers times that are actually free, and write down your rules for notice periods, fees and who can be booked for what. AI reads each request, offers options or confirms the change, and sends a clear confirmation. Requests outside the rules, sensitive situations and anything involving a fee or refund go to a person, and every change is recorded in the booking system.
## What this means in practice
- Offer only times that are free in the real booking system.
- Write down rules for notice, fees and who handles what.
- Send a clear confirmation for every booking or change.
- Send exceptions, fees and sensitive requests to a person.
- Record every change in the booking system, not in email.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
## See it as a workflow
- [Appointment requests and follow-up](https://lidvizion.ai/use-cases/appointment-requests-and-follow-up/): Sort incoming appointment, reschedule and paperwork requests, draft replies and reminders from approved templates, and route anything clinical or urgent straight to staff, so the front desk spends less time on routine messages.
