EasyWeek
@EasyWeekBot
FreeOfficialEN
The default notification bot of the EasyWeek online booking system: the owner, the staff or a team group chat get a message every time an online appointment is made, changed or cancelled. It does not take bookings itself.
Key features
- Alerts on new, edited, closed and deleted online appointments
- Private messages to the staff member assigned to a booking
- One group chat with every booking of the organisation
- Editable message templates with booking details as variables
- Option to replace it with your own bot made in BotFather
What EasyWeek does
Most booking tools tell the business about a new appointment by email, and email is where a 9 a.m. booking for 10 a.m. goes to be discovered at noon. EasyWeek, an online scheduling system for service businesses, moves that alert into Telegram, and @EasyWeekBot is the bot it uses for this out of the box.
There are two modes. In the personal one, the staff member assigned to a booking gets a private message about it. In the group one, the bot joins a team chat and posts every booking of the organisation there, so a front desk and three specialists see the same feed. Each mode reacts to four kinds of events - new, edited, closed and deleted appointments - and the text of each message can be rewritten in the settings with booking details pulled in as variables.
What the bot is not: a place where a client finds a salon and picks a slot. The vendor's documentation describes notifications only, so for the person booking it is at most a reminder channel, and only if the business has switched that on. If you want the alerts to come from a bot with your own name and logo, EasyWeek lets you plug in a bot made in BotFather instead of this one.
Connecting it is free and takes a few minutes, but it only makes sense if your schedule already lives in EasyWeek.
How to start
- In EasyWeek, open Apps, then Integrations and Apps, and find the Telegram card
- Keep EasyWeekBot as the bot and press Connect Telegram
- Press Start in the chat with @EasyWeekBot that opens
- For team alerts, connect the Telegram Group card, add the bot to the group and send it the text from the form
Pricing and limits
Free EasyWeek lists the Telegram integration as free, and the service itself has a free plan; no separate limits for the bot are published.
Pros / Cons
- Booking alerts arrive where the team already chats, not in email
- Group mode gives the whole team one shared feed
- Free to connect, with message texts you can rewrite
- Notifications only - clients cannot find a business or book a slot through it
- Useful only if the schedule already runs on EasyWeek

FAQ
Can my customers book an appointment through this bot?
The vendor's documentation does not say so. It describes the bot as a notification channel for the business; clients book through EasyWeek's own booking page.
Can I send the alerts from a bot with my own name?
Yes. Create a bot in @BotFather, then paste its API token into the Telegram Bot integration in EasyWeek; it replaces EasyWeekBot for your notifications.
