Getting started with appointments

Appointments are designed for meetings — consultations, discovery calls, or other conversations that happen before or after a booking. Clients pick from your available time slots, and meetings can happen in person, over the phone, or via video call.

When to Use Appointments

Appointments work well for meetings with fixed durations where you want to control your schedule:

  • Initial consultations with potential clients
  • Discovery calls to discuss event details
  • Venue or menu tastings
  • Planning meetings with existing clients
  • Lead qualification calls
Most businesses use appointments for the conversation part of their sales process — the meeting where you understand what the client needs before sending a proposal.

Enable Appointments for a User

Appointments are a scheduling permission that must be enabled for all users except the account owner.

ManageUsers
Go to Users and select the user you want to add appointments for.
Click the down arrow next to Show User.
Select Enable Enhanced Scheduling.
Click Save.

Set Your Availability

Define which days and times you offer appointment slots. Clients will only see times that fall within your availability.

Video Call Integration

For virtual appointments, connect your Zoom or Google Meet account. When enabled, a Zoom or Google Meet meeting link is automatically created for each appointment and included in the confirmation email.

You can also include Google Meet links or phone numbers in your appointment confirmation emails using message templates.

Creating Appointments

There are three ways to create an appointment:

  • Client self-books: You send the client a link to your appointment calendar, client picks a slot, and creates an appointment.
  • You create it: Click Create New in the top nav and select Schedule a Meeting.
  • From a lead: Convert a lead to an appointment by clicking the Actions button and select Create Appointment.

Viewing Appointments

View your appointments under Sales > Appointments. You can filter by date, status, and brand.

Deleting an appointment removes it entirely. If a client cancels, change the status to Cancelled instead so you keep the record.
Appointments are included in your calendar sync, so they show up alongside your regular bookings.

Your appointment scheduling link is tied to the brand you currently have selected. If you run more than one brand, make sure you have the correct brand active before copying and sharing the link — otherwise clients may land on the wrong brand's booking page.
