š” What It Is
SmartReserve is a flexible, automated Telegram chatbot built in n8n that allows users to request and confirm reservations for any kind of resourceātraining sessions, equipment, appointments, event slots, or more. It connects with Google Sheets for live availability tracking and automatically sends confirmation emails to your users.

Users interact with a friendly bot to submit their reservation request. The bot collects:
Date

Start Time & End Time
Final confirmation
All in one seamless message.

The bot checks your existing reservation sheet to avoid time overlaps before confirming.
