The problem

Manual texting, missed after-hours requests

Good Sniff Spaw took bookings manually over SMS and phone. After-hours requests were missed, and the team spent real time on back-and-forth scheduling.

Nothing connected incoming texts to their scheduling system, so every booking meant a person copying details across by hand.

What we built

A Twilio SMS chatbot on n8n that runs the whole booking in one text thread.

01

Twilio SMS chatbot on n8n

Incoming texts hit a Twilio webhook and route into n8n, where OpenAI handles the full conversation naturally.

02

Natural-language qualification

The bot understands the request in plain language and gathers the details it needs to book, no rigid menus or keywords.

03

Live availability check

Before confirming, the bot checks availability against Google Sheets so it only ever offers slots that are actually open.

04

Confirm and create the contact

The bot confirms the booking and creates the HubSpot contact record automatically, with no human involvement.

Results

Appointments booked 24/7 via SMS without staff involvement.

Natural conversation from the first text to a confirmed booking.

HubSpot contact records created automatically on every new booking.

No app and no web form required, just a text thread customers already use.

Availability checked live against Google Sheets so offered slots are always open.
