How to Create an Appointment on EzyCourse
You can create appointments and let your users book appointment sessions directly from your website through a calendar.
To create a new appointment, go to Products & Services -> Appointments. Here, you’ll see all the appointments you’ve created. Click the Create Appointment Event button on the top right corner of your screen.
Name your appointment and pick a type. There are 4 types including the built-in Native Meeting. You can use any one to take your appointment meeting.
Input a Description/Instruction so users know what the appointment is about. You can also set the Date Range i.e. how many days the appointment should be available for. Select Indefinitely into the future if you want the calendar to display the appointment forever. The Duration is for how long a single appointment will be.
Next, select and set your weekly days along with the time you’re available. These slots will be shown to the users on a calendar on your website so they can make bookings.
Notice that you can exclude specific dates & slots from a selected day. This gives you the freedom to block any slots beforehand if you’re unavailable.
Add a buffer time if needed. Buffer time helps prevent slot overlapping in terms of bookings. There’s also accessibility settings where selecting “restricted” prevents users from making any booking. Moreover, you can send an email reminder to users 30 minutes before their booked appointment starts. For google meet and native meeting type appointment, the reminder email will take the user directly to the meeting link.
[Note: Buffer time will automatically be disable if multiple slots booking option is enabled.]
The next checkbox controls three actions: canceling, rescheduling, and booking appointments. When enabled, users can only perform these actions a specified number of hours before the appointment starts. For example, if set to 1 hour, users must cancel, reschedule, or book at least 1 hour before the appointment time.
Lastly, you can choose whether to take multiple bookings for a single slot. If disabled, a slot will become unavailable after the first booking is made.
With everything set, click the Save button to create the appointment.
You can show an appointment on your website using the builder 2.0, and then users can book appointment slots from there.
On the checkout page, they’ll see the preview of the date and time slots being booked.
After checkout, users can view and join appointment sessions directly from the Appointments & Events Calendar on their dashboard.
