We’ve found a live test bug in the appointment flow. Context - Conversation is already in an appointment flow: - LIA has sent APPOINTMENT_TIME_CHOICES with two slots (e.g. “10:00am or 2:00pm”). - appointment_status is INVITED. - From my phone, I then reply: “Can we do 11?” (or “11 would be good”). What I see in Make (HTTP2 → /api/lia/inbound): - Status: 200 - JSON body shows: - conversation_id: 9a1c02d3-1b2f-4525-b004-866e493ccbd4 - mode: AWAITING_MANAGER - status: active - defer_until: null - reply: "" (empty) - stage: "12" Because reply is empty, my Twilio module correctly does nothing – but the behaviour is wrong. LIA should be confirming the appointment, not escalating. Expected behaviour - When the customer is already in a slot-offer flow and replies with a clear time like: - "Can we do 11?" - "11 works for me" - "11 would be good" - AND last_reply_type was APPOINTMENT_TIME_CHOICES for this conversation: - Mode should be APPOINTMENT_CONFIRMED (or equivalent) - appointment_status should move to BOOKED - needs_human_review should be cleared - reply should be a confirmation message, e.g.: "No problem – I’ve booked you in for Saturday at 11:00am at Lincoln Audi. If anything changes, just drop me a message here and I can move it for you." What I think is happening - The current time detection only picks up patterns like: - "11am", "11:00am", "11 o’clock", "2pm", etc. - It probably doesn’t treat plain “11” (without am/pm) as a valid time, even when: - last_reply_type == APPOINTMENT_TIME_CHOICES - pending_slot_options and/or pending_day_display are present - appointment_status == INVITED Request – concrete changes 1) In the URE, update the appointment confirmation logic so that: - If: - last_reply_type == "APPOINTMENT_TIME_CHOICES" - AND we’re in an INVITED / APPOINTMENT flow - AND the latest customer message contains a number that plausibly refers to one of the offered slots (e.g. “11”, “11 please”, “can we do 11?”) - THEN: - Treat it as a time selection even without explicit “am/pm” - Derive a sensible default time from the context (e.g. map “11” → “11:00am” when the offered slots included 10:00am and 2:00pm) - Set mode = APPOINTMENT_CONFIRMED - Set appointment_status = BOOKED - Clear needs_human_review (if previously set) 2) Add tests similar to: - Existing flow: - Customer: “Can I come Saturday?” - LIA: offers slots (APPOINTMENT_TIME_CHOICES) - Customer: “Can we do 11?” → Expect APPOINTMENT_CONFIRMED + confirmation reply (with day + time + Lincoln Audi) - Variants: - “11 would be good” - “11 works for me 👍” 3) Keep the existing guards: - Cold inbound “Are you open at 11?” with no appointment context must still **NOT** auto-book. - Only auto-confirm when: - We’re in an appointment flow - last_reply_type reflects slot offering - The message is clearly a reply to those slot options. Once that’s patched, I’ll retest from my phone with: - “Can I come Saturday?” - LIA offers slots - “Can we do 11?” and confirm I see APPOINTMENT_CONFIRMED and a clear confirmation message.
