Details

Appointment Slots allow you to list available dates and times on a public calendar, so that current and prospective clients can request a scheduled session, if the provider has the feature enabled. For a good overview of this feature, please see the video recording of a webinar we hosted on this type of virtual clinic.  

 

If you are an Account Administrator, you can request that this feature be added to your account by contacting [email protected]. Please include the name of the Account Service(s) that users can request an appointment for. If you have not yet created one, please include the information we will need to create one for you: name, description, payment required (if applicable), and scheduling duration.) 

 

This support article will go over the process for adding available appointment slots to your calendar. (If you use the Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook calendar integrations, you can enter your general business hours into the Appointment Slots, and our system will also reference your other calendar for times that you have something else scheduled, so that it is not shown to potential participants.)
