Create, edit, manage and check-in appointments from one place
Create new appointments from the Calendar
Appointments can be created in two ways:
- Click the + New Appointment button in the top bar.
- Click and drag a time slot directly on the calendar.
This opens the appointment details panel, where you can fill in the visitor and scheduling information.
Appointment duration and time logic
When creating an appointment:
-
The default duration is automatically based on the selected service. See more details under Appointments settings overview for Services.
-
If you change the service, the end time will adjust to match the new service’s default duration.
-
If you change the start time, the end time will update accordingly to maintain the same duration.
-
This behavior is consistent both when creating and editing appointments.
This ensures consistent scheduling without needing to manually reset durations every time you adjust the start time or service.
Fill in appointment details
When creating or editing an appointment, you can set:
- Date & time (start and end). See Appointment duration and time logic for more info
- Assignee — the team member who will serve the appointment
- Visitor information:
- First name, last name (required)
- Phone number, email, language, and service
- Additional fields (if configured for the selected service)
🟡 Note: Appointments booked through the Visitor Website are assigned only to team members who are available at the selected time for the selected service. However, when creating appointments manually in the Calendar view, availability settings and exceptions are not enforced - meaning appointments can be booked regardless of availability.
See appointment tags and activity log
Each appointment includes a Booking tag with the date and time visible:
- In the appointment detail view
- On the corresponding visitor ticket in Service View
This tag helps identify scheduled visitors across views.
All actions are tracked in the Activity timeline, including:
- Appointment created, edited, or rescheduled
- Label changes
- Visitor checked in
Edit appointments before check-in
Appointments that are not yet checked in or canceled can be updated like a regular ticket.
You can change:
- Date & time
- Visitor information
- Assigned service or team member
- Labels
All changes are saved to the activity log.
Cancel/delete or check in an appointment
To cancel/delete:
Click the Trashcan icon button in the appointment detail view. This removes the appointment from the calendar completely. Canceled/deleted appointments are not shown in statistics or analytics. Once cancelled, the appointment cannot be re-activated.
To check in a visitor:
Click Check-in on the appointment card. This moves them into the queue as an active ticket.
Once checked in, the appointment becomes a standard ticket and can be managed from the Service view.
A quick action Continue to Service view button appears in the side panel for easy navigation. 📖 Learn more: The Service View guide
What happens after check-in
When a visitor is checked in:
- Their wait time starts from the moment of check-in
- The appointment is now treated as a ticket in Service view
- Ticket details can still be edited (e.g. service, notes, labels)
- Appointment details (e.g. date/time) can no longer be changed
This ensures consistent tracking and reporting of scheduled visitors once they’ve arrived.
💡 Tip: Checked-in appointments appear first in the queue to ensure priority handling.
Marking an appointment as a no-show
If a visitor does not arrive but you want to record it as a no-show, you can easily do that.
-
Click on the No Show button on the appointment card.
-
The appointment is marked as a no-show on the ticket. The Check-In option remains available, so late arrivals can still be checked in without retyping their information.
-
Such an appointment stays in the Calendar view, and an extra status is added for visibility (no-showed appointments appear with a cross).
✅ Such appointments will soon be tracked in analytics as a no-shows, instead of being excluded entirely like a canceled/deleted visit.
