It sounds like the AI receptionist is not properly handling scheduling conflicts, leading to overlapping appointments. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

  1. Check Calendar Integration Settings: Ensure that the calendar integration (e.g., Cal.com) is correctly configured. Verify that the AI agent is using the correct bearer token, event slug, and ID for the calendar.

  2. Time Zone Configuration: Double-check the time zone settings in both the AI agent and the calendar system. Misaligned time zones can cause scheduling errors.

  3. Agent Prompt Updates: If you’re using a custom prompt for the AI, make sure it includes clear instructions to check for availability before booking. For example, you can specify that the AI should confirm the time slot is free before scheduling.

  4. Error Logs and Conversation IDs: Review any errors in the conversation logs or provide Conversation IDs to investigate further. This can help identify if the issue is with the AI’s logic or the calendar system.

  5. Testing and Debugging: Test the booking process with different scenarios to see if the issue persists. If you’re using tools like a "check availability" function, ensure it’s working as expected.

If the problem continues, you may need to provide screenshots of your setup (e.g., agent prompt, calendar settings) or share more details about the tools and configurations you’re using. This will help pinpoint the issue more effectively.

If your AI receptionist is booking overlapping appointments through Zapier, the issue might be related to how the scheduling logic is configured. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this:

  1. Check Your Scheduling Tool Settings: Ensure that your scheduling tool (e.g., Aesthetic Record or another platform) is set to prevent double-booking. Most scheduling systems have an option to block overlapping appointments.

  2. Verify Zapier Workflow: Review your Zapier workflow to ensure that it is correctly checking for availability before booking an appointment. If your workflow doesn't include a step to verify availability, you may need to add one.

  3. Time Zone Configuration: Double-check that the time zones are correctly configured in both your scheduling tool and Zapier. Mismatched time zones can sometimes cause overlapping appointments.

  4. Add a Buffer: If your scheduling tool allows, consider adding a buffer time between appointments to avoid overlaps.

  5. Test the Workflow: Run tests in Zapier to simulate the booking process and identify where the overlap might be occurring. Look for any errors or misconfigurations in the steps.

  6. Update AI Prompts: If your AI receptionist is responsible for suggesting times, ensure its prompts are updated to include logic for checking availability and avoiding overlaps.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, you may need to provide more details about your setup, such as the specific tools you’re using, the Zapier workflow steps, or any error messages you’re encountering. Let me know if you need further assistance!

I hope you are doing well.

I am currently configuring a Zapier workflow to connect with my ElevenLabs AI agent for a physiotherapy clinic receptionist. I have two separate integrations I'm working with:

A direct connection between ElevenLabs and Cal.com, which is not correctly accessing or booking appointments.

A connection between ElevenLabs and Zapier, which successfully books appointments into the calendar, but unfortunately, it is creating overlaps.

To fix the overlapping issue, my Zapier workflow needs to send a response back to the ElevenLabs AI to tell it when a time slot is unavailable. I am currently stuck on finding the correct URL to do this.

Could you please provide the specific webhook URL that Zapier should use to send a POST request back to my agent?

The agent's ID is: agent_4601k1r99zt3e9qvhs2qpsq9w8dn.

Thank you for your assistance.
