“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.
- Tools
- Tally, Make, Google Sheets, Gmail, Telegram, Cal.com
- Cost to run
- 4 Make credits (operations) per run
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
- A Tally form (name, email, date, time) sends the booking to the Make webhook
- A new row in the meetings sheet with status "booked"
- A confirmation email to the client with the date and time
- 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 →
- Tally — the form that fires the webhook (free; any form tool works) · Create a free form → paid link · we earn a commission
- Make — the automation engine · Sign up (one month of Core free) → paid link · we earn a commission
- Google Sheets — log and lists
- Gmail — email
- Telegram — alerts
- Cal.com — scheduling with real availability — its booking webhook can be the trigger instead of a form · Set up free scheduling → paid link · we earn a commission
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.

How to import (2 minutes)
- In Make: Scenarios → Create a new scenario
- At the bottom, the three dots (⋯) → Import Blueprint → choose the file you downloaded
- Click every module with an exclamation mark: choose your connection (Google, Telegram) — Make creates one in a click if you have none
- Replace every value in double curly braces ({{…}}) with your own from the list above
- 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.
