How To Add An Appointment
Appointments help you make the most of your day by allowing you to prepare beforehand and maximize what you do in your downtime. This can be handled in the Contacts section, including details such as the date, time, and status of the appointment, the calendar the appointment was booked on, and the assigned user. Let's check how to do it!
Manually Scheduling From Contacts
Navigate to the Contacts section, and look for the contact you'll have the appointment with under the Smart Lists tab.
Once you click on the name, you'll be directed to the Contact details. There, click the Calendar Icon.
Click on the “+ Add” button to get started.
A pop-up similar to the one used when booking from Calendars will appear for you to fill in the appointment details.
- Select the calendar you’d like to book the appointment.
- Give your appointment a title. If left blank, the default title you created in the specific calendar will be used.
- Select the team member that you want to assign to this appointment.
Date and Time
Set the Date and Time of the appointment. Here you have the option to use Default or Custom times.
Default: This way you can select from your preset available slots, meaning inside your set available hours and calendar preset intervals
Custom: This allows you to schedule the appointment at any time, even outside of working hours or if an appointment was previously booked.
Meeting Location
This will be sent to the contact for them to show up to the appointment, just like with the date and time you can use the calendar default or a custom location that will only apply to this appointment.
Once all details are set, click Book Appointment. This will add it to your calendar and send the related emails to the contact.
Adding Guests
If a Calendar has the Add Guests option enabled, you may add them while creating a new appointment by clicking the Add Guest option, which will work like selecting the primary contact for the appointment.
Created Appointment Options
Editing an Appointment
After an appointment has been created, you can make necessary changes by clicking the pencil icon. This will open a complete view of all appointment details, which will look the same as when you created it.
Canceling an Appointment
By clicking on the trash can icon, you'll mark an appointment as Cancelled. No reminders will be sent, and workflows triggered by appointment cancellation will start.
Appointments give you a visual way to manage your time and grant you greater control over your day. Following these steps will help you manage appointments directly from the contact cards, leading to a smooth approach to upcoming appointments, customer satisfaction, and time management.
