How do you automate scheduling, payments, and client management?

Direct Answer

Automating scheduling, payments, and client management means connecting an interactive booking calendar to services like MercadoPago and Google Calendar through webhooks. In custom systems like AuraDash, this removes 100% of manual confirmation work and records billing in real time.

How do you prevent double bookings or overbooking?

The system applies an atomic temporary lock in the database (PostgreSQL) while payment is in progress. The selected slot is held for 10 minutes. If the payment does not go through, the system releases the slot automatically.

What happens if a client cancels or reschedules?

The client opens a unique self-service link to reschedule within the company's advance-notice policy. The previous slot is released without any action from a coordinator.

What technical infrastructure do you need to connect scheduling and payments?

You need a relational database (PostgreSQL) with atomic slot locking, a Node.js server that processes payment gateway webhooks, and two-way sync with the Google Calendar and MercadoPago APIs.

How do you measure the impact of automation on the business?

Measure the drop in weekly hours spent coordinating appointments and the change in client conversion rate. Once manual messaging is out of the process, small and mid-sized businesses confirm bookings and payments right away.
