Intelligent Appointment Request and Approval Process
This workflow enhances user experience and appointment management efficiency through an intelligent appointment application and approval process. Users fill out a multi-step form, and AI automatically filters the consultation content to reduce invalid requests. After confirming the terms, the system automatically sends a confirmation email and facilitates administrator approval via email, supporting one-click approval or rejection. After approval, a meeting event is automatically created in Google Calendar, ensuring that users receive timely updates on the processing results. This optimizes the appointment process for scenarios such as professional consulting, customer support, and event scheduling, improving communication efficiency and customer satisfaction.
