Appointment Scheduling Features on Google Calendar

In Google Calendar there is a new feature introduced, called Appointment Schedule. By using this feature we can create an Appointment Slot on Google Calendar and share that with our connections for booking an appointment and for better communication.

Why Appointment Scheduling : 

Normally from Google calendar we used  G-Meet session for connecting  or assigning tasks or sometimes set auto responder  as well. Using the Appointment Schedule we can Manage our availability and let our connection book the time in Google Calendar via a personal Booking page.  We can create multiple appointents and share those as per our requirement.

Require Settings : 

As it is a User end setting so there are no additional settings needed from the admin side.

To Schedule an Appointment on calendar,

• Open Google Calendar(http://calendar.google.com) by using your GWS ID.

• Click on Create(at the Left side top corner).

• Click on the Appointment Schedule.

• Here you have to fill in the details i.e. Appointment Title, Appointment Duration, Availability, 

Also you can add more details for better information.i.e. Schedule Window (where you can mention appointment availability, Maximum time in Advance Booking & Min time in Booking before the schedule appointment),

 Adjust Availability (you can change date as per availability)

Booked Appointment Setting(For set Buffer time & Max Booking per Day) 

And also can choose the calendar where you want to add the appointment (note: if you have any secondary calendar created then only you can select the other calendar otherwise it will take the Primary calendar by default).

• Click on Next.

• Here you can also add the other details(i.e Booking Name,Location and conferencing, Description, Booking Form - Where you can ask Appointer to fill details & also enforce the authentication, add the required details as per your requirement, and Booking Reminder)

​

​

• Click on Save. 

• Now your Appointment slot is added to the calendar. 

• From the share option you can get the link to your connection for booking the appointment (Either you can share the All scheduled Appointment or A Single Booking page, also get the Website Embed option from where you can get the code linked on the website for Booking).

•  By Clicking on “Open Booking Page” you can find your Booking page with availability. (Note : Whenever anyone books any slot, that slot will automatically disappear from your page)

Note: If you are having a Business Starter plan then you will not get the Appointment Schedule option, instead the Appointment slot feature will be available.
