Asked Questions
Never forget another task again! Bot-It is a new service that introduces web automation to everyday people. Bot-It does not require any coding or technical skills to setup. Simply tell your Bot which website you want to start on and which steps to perform on that site. Bot-It is for everyone and can be used to automate an endless amount of possibilities but here are a few suggestions:
- Automate Golf Tee Time
- Automate Camping Reservation
- Automate Tennis Courts
- Restaurant Reservation
- Business Workflows
Yes and we have the proof! We have so many success stories here at Bot-It and we want to share them with you. Check out and follow our Bot-It Works Fan Page and see the proof for yourself. From Golf Tee Times, Dinner Reservations, Campsite bookings and much more. Bot-It continues to give consumers and businesses the automation they need.
Great question! This all depends on 2 things: 1. The day of the week you are looking to make a reservation (Tuesday is easier than Saturday prime time for example). 2. Your Bot-It Subscription and our powerful Cancellation Bots.
Your Bot-It Subscription matters. For example, a Bot-It Standard Plus is great on busy sites because it gives your bot extra power when new releases happen in real time. Customers on Bot-It using Standard Plus have a 70% greater chance of booking any busy site because of the additional bot power.
Also with any Bot-It Subscription, you can upgrade any of your bots to a Cancellation Bot. We have a very powerful tool called a Cancellation Bot that will run every few minutes to immediately pick up cancelled reservations for you. This has proven to work 85% of the time on most golf courses. To add a cancellation bot to your account. Click the Manage option on your new bot and click Upgrade. You can then choose which day of the week you would like the bot to automatically reserve for you. Remember, the more days of the week you add the higher chances of successfully booking.

We first want to clarify, the word Bot comes from Robotic Process Automation which is a form of automating a business or consumer process. Using automated services (bots) to eliminate manual online task has become standard practice for many years, but now here at Bot-It we built a service to offer it to everyday consumers with little to no tech experience required. The online competitive landscape for tee times, product purchases, appointments and simple tasks are growing very quickly and we want you to have a tool you can use. We (Bot-It Inc.) follow the standard policies for robo web crawling. Web crawling receives a negative reputation when it disregards a website 's robots exclusion protocol, attempts to access private data, and performs at a high rate, Bot-It Inc. does NOT partake or condone in any of those actions. We recommend that you follow the online safety precaution that is mention by your local state/law government.
