Understanding Appointments

What are Appointments?

Appointments in Solodoer are booking cards that appear on your business website's contact-us page, allowing customers to schedule meetings with you. Each appointment card represents a specific type of meeting you offer with defined availability and duration.

Appointment Information Captured:

Meeting Details: Title and description
Duration: Hours and minutes for each appointment slot
Type: Online Meeting, Phone Call, or Office visit
Availability Period: Start date and end date range
Weekly Schedule: Days and time slots when you're available
Custom Questions: Additional information you want to collect from clients
Reminder Settings: When to send appointment reminders

How Do Appointments Work?

On Your Website:

Customers visit your website's contact-us page
They see appointment cards displaying the different types of meetings you offer
They click on an appointment card that interests them
They select an available date and time from your schedule
They fill out their contact information and any custom questions you've configured
They submit their appointment request
The appointment request is automatically saved in your Client Appointments app for you to confirm
Their information is also saved as a client record in your Clients app

In Your Dashboard:

You create appointment cards with your availability
You manage weekly schedules and time slots
You configure duration and meeting types
You can update or delete appointments as needed
Appointment requests from customers appear in the Client Appointments app

Why are Appointments Important?

Automated Booking - Let customers schedule appointments 24/7 without manual coordination
Time Management - Control your availability and prevent double-bookings
Professional Image - Provide a modern, convenient booking experience
Reduced Back-and-Forth - Eliminate email chains for scheduling
Custom Information - Collect specific details you need before meetings
Reminder System - Automatically remind clients about upcoming appointments
Lead Capture - Every appointment request creates a client record

Step 3: Configuring Duration

Set how long each appointment will last.

Duration Hours

Select from options: 0 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, up to 9 hours

Duration Hours Examples:

0 hour - For appointments under 1 hour
1 hour - Standard meeting length

0 minutes - When duration is exact hours

Combined Duration Examples:

0 hour + 15 minutes = 15-minute quick call
0 hour + 30 minutes = 30-minute consultation
1 hour + 0 minutes = 1-hour meeting
1 hour + 30 minutes = 90-minute session
2 hours + 0 minutes = 2-hour workshop

Duration Tips:

Be realistic about time needed
Factor in buffer time between appointments
Consider time for preparation and follow-up
Don't overbook yourself with long sessions
Match duration to appointment type

Step 4: Selecting Appointment Type

Choose how the appointment will be conducted.

Type

- 15 minutes - Reminder 15 minutes before appointment

Step 6: Defining Availability Period

Set when customers can book appointments.

Start Date

Find the Start Date dropdown
Select when appointments become available:
- Now - Available immediately
- 1 hour - Available in 1 hour
- 2 hours - Available in 2 hours
- 4 hours - Available in 4 hours
- 12 hours - Available in 12 hours
- 1 day - Available tomorrow
- 2 days - Available in 2 days
- 1 week - Available next week

Start Date Examples:

Select when appointment availability ends (from start date):

End Date Examples:

1 week: Limited-time offer or pilot program

Update appointments regularly to extend availability
Create new appointments for future periods

Example Scenarios:

Immediate Availability:

Start Date: Now
End Date: 4 weeks
Result: Customers can book from now until 4 weeks out

Future Launch:

Start Date: 1 week
End Date: 4 weeks
Result: Appointments open next week and remain available for 4 weeks after that

Step 7: Managing Weekly Availability

Define your weekly schedule for appointments.

Understanding Weekly Availability

Weekly availability controls which days and times customers can book appointments. The system shows a list of days with start and end times.

Default Weekly Availability:

When you create an appointment, it comes pre-configured with:

Monday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Thursday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

You can customize these settings or add/remove days as needed.

Adding a Day to Your Schedule

Scroll to the Weekly Availability section
Click the "Add Weekly Availability" button
A new day entry will be added automatically with default times (9:00 AM - 6:00 PM)
The system adds the next available day from: Saturday, Sunday, or other weekdays not yet in your schedule

Note: You can only add days that aren't already in your schedule. Once all 7 days are added, the button will be disabled.

Configuring Each Day's Availability

For each day in your weekly schedule:

Day Dropdown:
- Select which day of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
- Each day can only appear once in your schedule
Start Time Dropdown:
- Select when you start accepting appointments on this day

Click the trash icon (delete button) on the right side of that day's entry
The day will be removed from your schedule

Note: You must have at least one day in your weekly availability. The system won't allow you to delete all days.

Weekly Availability Tips:

Match your actual working hours

Step 8: Adding Custom Questions

Collect specific information from customers when they book appointments.

Understanding Custom Questions

Custom questions allow you to gather information you need before the appointment. Customers must answer these questions when requesting an appointment.

Default Setup:

When you create an appointment, one empty question field is provided. You can add up to 5 custom questions total.

Adding a Question

Scroll to the Questions section
Click the "Add Question" button
A new question entry will appear with:
- Question text field
- Required toggle switch
- Delete button (trash icon)

Note: You can add between 1 and 5 questions. The add button will be disabled when you reach 5 questions.

Configuring Each Question

For each question in your list:

Question Field:
- Enter your question (3-150 characters)
- Be clear and specific
- Use natural language
Required Toggle:
- Turn ON - Customer must answer this question to book
- Turn OFF - Question is optional
- Default: OFF (optional)

Removing a Question

Find the question you want to remove
Click the trash icon (delete button) on the right side of that question's entry
The question will be removed from your list

Note: You must have at least one question in your questions list. The system won't allow you to delete all questions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Too many required questions (reduces booking rate)

Technical terms customers won't understand
Questions that could be answered during the appointment itself

Solution:

The system allows 1-5 custom questions per appointment
If you need more than 5, consider:
- Combining similar questions

Delete unnecessary questions to make room for new ones

Issue: Cannot Delete Last Day or Question

Error: Delete button doesn't work or shows error

Cause: You must have at least one day in weekly availability and at least one question

Solution:

For Weekly Availability:
- You must have at least 1 day configured
- To change the only day, modify it instead of deleting
- Or add a new day first, then delete the one you don't want

Visit your website's contact-us page directly to verify
Clear browser cache or try incognito mode
Wait a few minutes for changes to propagate

Issue: End Time Earlier Than Start Time

Error: Validation error on weekly availability

Solutions:

Ensure end time is after start time for each day
For overnight availability:
- You cannot span midnight in a single entry
- Create separate appointments or days
- Example: Monday 10:00 PM - 11:30 PM is valid
- Example: Monday 10:00 PM - Tuesday 2:00 AM is NOT valid
Use the dropdowns to select times in order
