How the Booking System Works
The booking process involves three main elements: your availability settings, your appointment types, and the visitor booking flow.
The Complete Booking Flow
- You configure availability: Set which days and hours you accept bookings
- You create appointment types: Define meeting options like "30-minute consultation"
- Visitor sees Book a Time button: Your profile displays the booking option
- Visitor selects a date: Calendar shows available dates based on your settings
- Visitor chooses a time slot: Available times appear for the selected date
- Visitor picks appointment type: They select the type of meeting they need
- Visitor enters contact information: Name, email, phone, and optional notes
- You receive the booking: New appointment appears in your dashboard
The system automatically calculates available time slots based on your schedule and existing bookings.
