    Project Title: Automated VFS Appointment Scheduling Bot

    1. Project Overview
    The goal is to develop a fully automated bot capable of scheduling VFS appointments,
    detecting available slots, filling in customer information, and sending notifications
    of the scheduled appointments. The bot will be responsible for filling in all
    required customer details, handling passport and facial recognition tasks,
    scheduling appointments, and generating receipts, all within a very limited window (1-2
    minutes).

    2. Key Features
    2.1 Appointment Scheduling Automation
    The bot will monitor VFS appointment openings and instantly block available vacancies.
    It will automatically fill in customer details required for the scheduling process.
    The bot will ensure quick and real-time execution, as appointments tend to open for only 5
    minutes before closing.

    2.2 Customer Information Management


    The bot will collect and store the following:
    Passport Information
    Facial Recognition Data (Assumed to be collected prior to scheduling by the user physically).
    User details will be stored and ready for automated entry during the appointment scheduling
    phase.

    2.3 Payment Handling


    The bot will handle and automate payment processing as required for the appointment, ensuring
    timely
    submission within the short opening window.

    2.4 Notification and Receipt Generation


    Upon successfully scheduling an appointment, the bot will generate a PDF receipt.
    The appointment receipt will be forwarded to the user via Telegram or WhatsApp for their
    reference.
    2.5 Real-time Monitoring & Alerts
    The bot will continuously monitor the VFS platform for new available appointment slots and
    notify the user
    through Telegram about openings.
    The bot will also automatically schedule appointments based on available slots without manual
    intervention

    Suggestions & Enhancements


    4.1 Captcha Bypass or Handling:
    Consider implementing a CAPTCHA solver or integrating third-party services to handle any
    CAPTCHA challenges that may block the scheduling process.
    4.2 Error Handling & Retry Logic:
    The bot should be equipped with robust error handling and retry logic in case of server issues or
    temporary blockages.
    4.3 Optimized Scheduling Algorithms:
    Ensure the bot can optimize the scheduling process by recognizing patterns in appointment
    openings and pre-filling forms to save time during the
    limited scheduling window.

    Technical Approach
    Programming Language: Python (as per client request).
    Technologies Involved:
    Web Scraping: For monitoring available slots and automating scheduling.
    Automation Framework: Selenium/Playwright for web interaction.
    Captcha Handling: Implementing an automated solution for captcha.
    Telegram/WhatsApp Integration: Using APIs to send notifications.
    PDF Generation: Using libraries like reportlab or FPDF to generate appointment receipts in PDF
    format.
