Advanced and Additional Availability Options

Advanced Options

Make Me Look Busy

Suppose you don't want to appear completely free on a slow day. In that case, you can limit the maximum number of available appointment slots that your customers see on any given day by enabling this feature and specifying your preferred number of open appointment slots to be displayed per day.

At the Availability Stage of the Booking Link Creation Process, go under Advanced Options on the right. Toggle the switch next to Make Me Look Busy to the ON position.  Specify the maximum number of appointment slots that you would like to display per day.

Reserve Slot

Specify how long a customer's selected time slot will be reserved until they confirm and complete their booking.

At the Availability Stage of the Booking Link Creation Process, go under Advanced Options on the right. Click the dropdown arrow under Reserve Slot For, and select how many minutes you'd like to hold the appointment slot for the person booking with you.

Countdown

Enabling this feature will display a timer showing how many seconds are left before the reserved time slot expires. 

At the Availability Stage of the Booking Link Creation Process, go under Advanced Options on the right. Toggle the switch next to Countdown to the ON position.

Limit how far in advance someone can book

You have the option of limiting how far in advance a person can book. For example, if you want to prevent someone from booking more than 14 days in advance, enter 14 in the 'Days' field. This feature can assist you in ensuring that earlier appointments are filled first and that people do not book too far in advance.

At the Availability Stage of the Booking Link Creation Process, go under Advanced Options on the right. Toggle the switch next to Limit how far in advance someone can book to the ON position. Specify your preferred number of hours, days, weeks, or months for advanced bookings.
