How to set up appointment opportunities

Before users can start scheduling appointments through the app, it's essential to establish appointment rooms and time slots. Here's how you can do it:

1. Create an appointment room

An appointment room creates a place where you can create multiple timeslots that users can book. It is important to note that if you want simultaneous timeslots that users can book you will need to make multiple appointment rooms:
  1. 1.
    Open the 'Admin panel'
  2. 2.
    Navigate to 'Appointments'
  3. 3.
    Click on the '+ New appointment room' button
  4. 4.
    Name the appointment room
  5. 5.
    Select the room status Choose one of the following options: - Active: the room is active and appointments can be made - Template: the room is?? - Inactive: the room is not active and no appointments can be made here
  6. 6.
    Click on 'Add appointment room'.

2. Create timeslots in the appointment room

Once you have created an appointment room you need to create available timeslots that users can schedule an appointment at. This can be completed within the relevant appointment room by completing the following steps:
  1. 1.
    Open the 'Appointments overview'
  2. 2.
    Search for the relevant appointment room

  5. 5.
    Navigate to the date and time of the desired appointment slot
  6. 6.
    Either click once to make a default length timeslot or click drag and drop to draw a custom length timeslot and then release once you have selected the desired timeframe
Default timeslots can be set to either 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes in the appointment settings​
