When you\u2019re meeting teammates, leads, customers and collaborators throughout the week, it pays to streamline scheduling. \u201cWhen works for you?\u201d dominates your DMs and email threads, whether you\u2019re organizing a quarterly review or a 10-minute catch-up. Make it straightforward to share your calendar availability with an online Booking Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can list different one-to-one and group services, enabling the relevant audience to view available appointment slots and book independently.<\/b><\/p>\n

Enable them to pick an appointment slot<\/h2>\n

Your calendar<\/a> and online Booking Page<\/a> work in harmony. When you block out time in your calendar, that time is also hidden from your Booking Page. Similarly, when a customer confirms an appointment using your Booking Page, the details land in your calendar and the slot is no longer available to others.<\/p>\n

If you utilize Google, Apple or Office 365 calendars, you can also sync them to Setmore. That way, your availability accounts for every event.<\/p>\n

To share your Booking Page link directly, open your web app and navigate to Settings > Services<\/b>. You can copy and paste your link where needed. Your audience is able to view your real-time availability and self-schedule online. There\u2019s no need for them to contact you, saving everyone time ?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all automatic with a calendar availability app<\/h2>\n

Your calendar is visible to only you and the team members you select. If a team member has receptionist<\/a> access, they can schedule appointments for you. Your Booking Page is public and accessible to anyone, however, visitors can only see your free slots and not any details about your schedule.<\/p>\n

Each service you create has a unique service booking link<\/b>. If you share a service booking link, the recipient bypasses service selection on your Booking Page. You can also hide a service from your Booking Page, enabling you to share its link with specific people only.<\/p>\n

For extra convenience, your app for calendar availability sends email confirmations<\/b> to you and your guests. A guest\u2019s confirmation contains buttons to edit their booking online if needed. When an appointment is rescheduled or cancelled, the previously occupied slot is displayed again on your Booking Page.<\/p>\n

To top this off, an email<\/a> or text reminder<\/a> is sent to your guest, helping to reduce no-shows, and you can automate review invites for a consistent flow of feedback.<\/p>\n
