Basic Appointment Booking App Setup

• Setting your appointment schedule and availability

One of the best features of this app is its ability to customize available time slots. Customers can see the available times and choose the one that suits their schedule the best. 

You can set the Meeting duration (A) and also customize the time slots by clicking on the + button (B). 

You can enable additional settings for your availability (C), like Minimum scheduling notice, availability date range, and buffer time between appointments: 

• Set the language and time zone

In the Content tab, choose the languages you want to offer. Select Spanish, French, or English (A). There is also an option to set your Time Zone (B): 

• Configure email notifications

You can configure the email notifications you will receive when someone book an appointment. In the Success Tab, choose Email to Admin and enter your email (A). This way, you will know the moment someone schedules a new appointment.

On the same tab, you can also set up an autoresponder email to instantly send your customers, including any relevant information they might need before their appointment (B).

• How to add a meeting link

For now we don't have an integration with calendars, but we will definitely add it in the future.
You can use next workaround for this case.
Book a repeated meeting time in your calendar(Google meet or Zoom), for example 2 PM every tuesday. Take this meeting link and add to your appointment app autoresponder. That way submitter will get a meeting link information after submission.
