“They agreed on a time in a chat. Then both of them forgot.”

Booking form → meetings sheet → confirmation email. Feeds the no-show reminder

Now every meeting is logged, confirmed, and reminded.

A booking arrives and nobody confirms it. A Tally form writes the meeting to the sheet, emails the client a confirmation and pings you on Telegram.

Short answer

A booking arrives and nobody confirms it. A Tally form writes the meeting to the sheet, emails the client a confirmation and pings you on Telegram.

The problem

Meetings booked by phone or WhatsApp never make it into a sheet, so the no-show reminder has nothing to remind about. A form the client fills in is the only way the sheet stays complete without someone typing.

What happens when it runs

  1. A Tally form (name, email, date, time) sends the booking to the Make webhook
  2. A new row in the meetings sheet with status "booked"
  3. A confirmation email to the client with the date and time
  4. A Telegram message to you

The tools inside

Disclosure: links marked "paid link" pay us a commission from the vendor if you sign up. Your price is unchanged, and every file here works without them. How we choose tools →

Before you start

Three things to have ready before importing, or Make will ask and you will have to leave halfway:

  • The webhook address (paste it in Tally)
  • The meetings spreadsheet id
  • The confirmation wording
  • Chat ID

Sheet templates

The file maps columns by position. Start from exactly these headers, in this order — a column in the wrong place writes a phone number into the email column.

  • Meetings sheet · client | email | date | time | status | reminder_sent (Sent with the blueprint by email)

How to import (2 minutes)

  1. In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
  2. At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
  3. Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
  4. Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
  5. Run once with a test row in the sheet. Only when it passes — Schedule and ON

What does not work in it

  • This does not check your availability. Two clients can book the same slot. Either offer fixed slots in the form (a dropdown you prune by hand) or use a scheduling tool and keep this for logging.
  • The date must arrive as YYYY-MM-DD for the no-show reminder to find it. Use Tally's date field, not a free-text one.
