Create a new calendar by clicking on the "+ New Calendar" button 

The first step includes calendar information such as name, description, and other details.

Next step, we need to establish the availability settings for this particular calendar.

Here you will see the availability slot and interval settings. These give you control over the time, length, and quantity of appointments scheduled.

• Slot Duration
  This setting allows you to choose the length of your appointments. This will show when people are 
  booking on your calendar so they know how the appointment should take.

• Slot Interval
  Slot intervals show what times are available. For example, if you have a 30-minute slot interval, then 
  your time slots will show availability every 30 minutes (10:00am, 10:30am, 11:00am, etc.) 

• Buffer Duration Between Appointments 
  To give you or your team a break in between appointments, you can establish a buffer in between
   appointments. This helps prevent back-to-back appointments. 

• Appointment Per Slot 
  You can choose to book multiple appointments per time slot as well. This works well in class or 
  group situations where you would like more than one person in a meeting at the same time. 

• Appointments Per Day
  To prevent your day from being loaded with calls or appointments, you can establish a maximum
   number of appointments per day that can book on this calendar as well. 

• Minimum Scheduling Notice

  Here is where you establish the time period for your minimum scheduling notice. You can choose between hours, days, weeks, or months.

  For example, if you choose "5 days", then nobody will be able to book an appointment within 5 days of your next appointment on your calendar.

• Date Range
  If you want to allocate a specific time range for your calendar to allow scheduling, you can do so 
  here. For example, you can show appointments for the next 6 hours, 6 days, 6 weeks, or 6 months. 

  
  Office Hours 

  Here is one of the most important settings in this section, as it controls the availability time frames shown on your calendar on a weekly basis.

  Days Of The Week Available

  By clicking any of these "days of the week" buttons, you can turn on or off which days you are available for people to schedule on your calendar.

   

  Time Of Day Available

  When you are finished selecting the days of the week, you can customize each day to show availability at different times of the day.

  

  
  

  Choosing Availability Times

  Each day has a "start-time" and "end time", which means your calendar will only show the times available in-between what you choose here.

  By clicking the "+hours" button, you can add split times to your day, in case you have a regularly scheduled lunch break or day breaks.

  

  
  

  Apply To All Days

  If you want to save time here, and you have the same hourly schedule for each day of the week, simply customize one day and then click "Apply All" to use the same time you just established for every available day.

  
  
  

Step 3: Calendar Confirmation

Every calendar has a basic form by default attached to it. This captures name, email, phone number, and gives space for a custom message.

• Use Custom Forms 
  If you've built a custom form in your CRM and would like to use it in this calendar, you can select it
   by using this drop-down tab. 

• Use Sticky Contact
  Turning on Sticky Contact will make sure that whoever is scheduling the appointment DOES NOT 
  need to re-enter their contact information if they have already done so once before. This keeps the
   signup process smooth and simple. 

Notification & Additional Options 
This entire next section handles what happens after the appointment is booked in this calendar. 

• Auto- Confirm Appointments
  If you'd like your CRM "auto-confirm" all appointments booked using this calendar, you can turn 
  that on here. This will mark the appointment as "confirmed" and you can fire marketing automation 
  using that "confirmed" status. 

• New Appointment Alert Emails 
  To send email notifications when a new appointment is scheduled, add email addresses here. 
  Add multiple email addresses in a comma-separated format (email 1, email 2, email 3, etc) 

• Allow Auto- Confirmation
  You can allow Google to send an invite email to all parties by checking this box. Google's calendar
  invites are very professional and have a lot of detail. This email will also ask the user to "re-confirm"
   they are attending by selecting either "yes, no, or maybe" in the email. 

• Allow Rescheduling 
  If you want to give the option to reschedule, check this box. It will send a rescheduling link along
   with the confirmation email. This can also be done manually in your CRM. 

• Allow Cancellations 
  If you want to give the option to cancel the appointment, check this box. It will send a cancellation
   link along with the confirmation email. This can also be done manually in your CRM. 

• Additional Appointment Notes 
  If you'd like to add additional notes to the appointment details, you can add them here. This is great 
  for adding context to the appointment, requesting additional information to be brought to the 
  appointment, or any other information that may need to be added after the appointment is booked. 

• Add Facebook Pixel
  To track new appointment bookings with your Facebook Ads Manager, you can add your Facebook
  Pixel here. 

• Add Custom Code 
  If you have software developers on staff, or if you know how to write custom code, you can add it 
  here. This is way beyond the scope of this guided tour. 
  
  Form Submissions
  Here you can choose what happens when your calendar form is complete. You can either choose to 
  show the person a custom thank you message or you can redirect the person to a webpage of your 
  choice.
