Need Help With Bot Booking Appts
So I've got a prompt that is working "almost" great to book appointments for people that have registered for but did not show for a webinar. However, once it gets to setting the appts, it provides times and then says those times are not available. It's also programed not to ask for the time zone but it's asking for the time zone. It works amazing when I use the assistant in the Open AI playground but the actual booking of the appt in the live workflow is requiring manual takeover to avoid pissing the lead off. Please review and help if you can. Here is this bot in action - https://app.screencast.com/JCuIXDi7iR1Iw

## FAQ:
### FAQs for Mortgage:
1\. **What is a first-time home buyer program?**
First-time home buyer programs offer financial assistance like down payment grants or low-interest loans to those purchasing a home for the first time.
2\. **How much down payment do I need?**
While a 20% down payment is often suggested as the best option, several programs allow for as low as 0% (like a USDA loan). Plus, there are Conventional loans with 1% down, and FHA loans can be paired with down payment assistance. You don't need a huge savings to buy a home; a couple of grand will usually do.
3\. **What is the importance of a good credit score?**
A good credit score impacts your ability to secure a mortgage and the interest rate you'll receive. Higher scores often lead to better loan terms.
4\. **What is the role of a real estate agent?**
Real estate agents guide you through the home buying process, including finding homes within your budget, negotiating prices, and handling paperwork.
5\. **What is a pre-approval?**
A pre-approval is a lender's indication that you qualify for a specific mortgage amount based on a review of your financial information. You'll need this if you want to work with a realtor.
6\. **Can I buy a home even if my credit score isn't great?**
Yes, various programs help buyers with lower credit scores, but you may need a larger down payment. For instance, FHA allows for a credit score as low as 500 with a 10% down payment. However, a higher credit score will typically secure better interest rates and better incentives to lower your out-of-pocket costs.
7\. **What are closing costs?**
Closing costs are fees for finalizing a mortgage, typically ranging from 2-5% of the loan amount. They include title insurance, appraisal fees, escrow setup, tax prorations, and loan origination fees.
8\. **What is private mortgage insurance (PMI)?**
PMI is required if your down payment is less than 20%. It protects lenders if you default on your loan.
9\. **What should I budget for beyond the mortgage payment?**
Typically, your mortgage broker will include homeowner's insurance, PMI, and property taxes into your mortgage payment, so mostly you'll want to consider utilities and maintenance.
10\. **What is an escrow account?**
An escrow account is a lender-set account to pay future property taxes and insurance expenses on your behalf. If you put less than 20% down, you are usually required to have an escrow account. This account is funded by your mortgage payments. The lender will divide your yearly tax and insurance bills by 12 months and will collect monthly installments with each payment to ensure there is enough to pay bills when they come due.
11\. **What is a "Soft" credit check?**
A soft credit check, also known as a soft credit inquiry or soft credit pull, is a type of credit information request that doesn't impact your credit score. Unlike a hard inquiry, which happens when you apply for a new line of credit (like a credit card, auto loan, or mortgage) and can slightly lower your credit score for a short period of time, a soft pull does not affect your credit score. This is because soft pulls are not tied to a specific application for new credit, so they're considered less risky from a lender's perspective. Remember, while a hard inquiry is necessary for a mortgage pre-approval, it's crucial to keep hard inquiries to a minimum. Too many hard inquiries can signal to lenders that you're a high-risk customer, potentially leading to a denied application or a higher interest rate.
12\. **What interest rate will I qualify for?**
It's hard to say, as each borrower and home purchase transaction is unique and has many variables. Interest rates are based on credit score, down payment, loan type, debt ratio, loan program, and current market conditions. Some borrowers are qualifying for rates as low as 5.99%. We'll customize an actual rate quote based on your personal circumstances during our Home Loan Consultation.
13\. **How long does the mortgage approval process usually take?**
The average purchase transaction takes about 30 days. However, we've closed loans in as little as 8 days, and some have taken 60 days. Each borrower and property are unique, and some have issues that prevent a fast closing. A good mortgage lender will communicate with you throughout the process and keep you informed on the timeline as well as any issues that could delay the closing.
14\. **How do I choose the right type of mortgage for me?**
Choosing the right mortgage is like choosing your favorite ice cream flavor. It depends on what you want and what you qualify for. Conventional loans typically require a higher credit score and offer down payment options as low as 1%. Government loans such as FHA, VA, and USDA loans allow lower credit scores and offer low down payment options as well. No two borrowers are the same, and we help you figure out the best mortgage program during your Home Loan Consultation.
15\. **Can I schedule or book a call to speak with someone?**
Absolutely! We're happy to arrange a Free Home Loan Consultation. We'll discuss your specific situation and options.
16\. **I'm shopping for the best interest rate. Can you tell me rates for a 15 and 30-year fixed?**
We can definitely provide a personalized rate quote in a quick 10-minute phone call -- free and no commitment! Just remember, rates can change quickly, so quotes are more valuable when you have a house under contract.
17\. **Will I need to provide any documents to get pre-approved?**
We will need to verify your income, your debts, your credit scores, and your assets to issue a full pre-approval letter. However, we can discuss your options first before worrying about gathering a bunch of paperwork. You'll just need to know your income numbers initially, like how much you earn per year before taxes come out. Once we determine your needs, we'll provide a list of documents and access to a secure loan portal to upload them.
18\. **Wanting a quote? or Wanting a rate quote?**
We can definitely provide a personalized rate quote in a quick 10-minute phone call -- free and no commitment! Online rate quotes are highly inaccurate and provide little value.
19\. **Why are online rate quotes inaccurate?**
Most online mortgage rate quotes assume unrealistic lending scenarios that favor the lender. These include a loan amount over $400K, 1 point due at closing, 65% loan-to-value, and a credit score over 760. Since the majority of borrowers do not meet these assumptions, they will likely qualify for a far different rate. This is why it's crucial to get a personalized rate quote from a reliable mortgage broker. No two borrowers are the same, and there is no one-size-fits-all mortgage. By seeking a personalized quote, you can find the best mortgage tailored to your unique situation.
