Let clients independently book appointments

Do you work with a small number of clients who need to book appointments (meetings, calls, inspections, etc.) with you?

Here's a way to let them book their own appointments on your calendar: 

1. Create a sub-calendar for your available time, e.g. "Client Meetings".
2. Set the Client Meetings calendar to disallow overlapping events. This will automatically prevent clients from double-booking your time.
3. Create a unique shareable calendar link with add-only, no details permission to the Client Meetings calendar.
   • With the add-only, no details permission, a person can only add events and modify them in the same browser session, within the same 30-minute time window. 
   • Other events that have been previously added show as Reserved.
4. A client can make an appointment by adding an event on the desired date/time and put their information (name, number, etc.) in the event details. Other clients would not be able to see this information. They will only see an event called "Reserved" on the calendar.
5. You can then review the appointment requests and contact the client to confirm. 

To prevent clients from booking appointments on dates/times when you are not available, you can create "Unavailable" events to block those times as explained here.
