An appointment schedule gives you a booking page link. Clients pick a free slot, and the appointment lands in your Google Calendar without back-and-forth messages.

## What your plan includes

What you can do depends on your Google Workspace plan.

- **Business Starter**: one booking page. Calendar may already have created one for you, listed under **Booking pages** on the left.
- **Business Standard and higher**: more than one booking page. Some booking extras, such as checking availability across several calendars and co-hosts, also depend on your plan.

To move to a higher plan, see [licences & renewal](/workspace-licences-renewal/) or our [pricing page](https://officeniaga.com/pricing/).

## Set up your booking page

Do this in [Google Calendar](https://calendar.google.com) on a computer.

1. Click **Create**, then **Appointment schedule**.

   *(Screenshot: Create menu in Google Calendar with Appointment schedule highlighted)*

2. If you already have a schedule, click the pencil icon next to it under **Add availability to an existing schedule**. Otherwise choose **Create a new appointment schedule**.

3. Set **Appointment duration**, for example 30 minutes.
4. Under **General availability**, set the days and times people can book. Click **Unavailable all day** for days off, or **Copy time to all** to repeat a day's hours.

5. Under **Scheduling window**, choose how far ahead people can book and how much notice you need.
6. Under **Adjusted availability**, block out specific dates such as public holidays.
7. Under **Booked appointment settings**, add buffer time between appointments or a daily limit.

8. Click **Next**.

## Set how you meet

The second screen controls what clients see on your booking page.

1. Under **Location and conferencing**, open the dropdown. It is set to **Google Meet video conferencing** by default. You can change it to **In-person meeting**, **Phone call** or **None / to be specified later**.

   *(Screenshot: Location and conferencing list: Google Meet video conferencing, In-person meeting, Phone call)*

2. Add a short description of what the appointment is for.
3. Check the **Booking form**. It asks for **First name**, **Last name** and **Email address**; click **Add an item** to ask for more, such as a company name.
4. Check **Booking confirmations and reminders**. By default, clients get a **Calendar invitation** and an **Email reminder**, even on Business Starter.
5. Click **Save**.

## Share your booking link

Give clients the link wherever they already talk to you.

1. Under **Booking pages** on the left, click **Copy link** next to your schedule.

   *(Screenshot: Copy link icon next to the booking page under Booking pages)*

2. Paste it into an email, your email signature, a WhatsApp message or your website.

Your booking page hides times when your calendar already shows you as busy, so keep your calendar up to date.

## Common issues

### Can clients without a Google account book with me?

Yes. They open your booking page link, pick a free slot and fill in their first name, last name and email address. They get a confirmation email and the booking appears on your calendar.

### Why can't I create a second booking page?

On Business Starter you get one booking page. More than one needs Business Standard or higher, and some booking extras, such as checking several calendars, also depend on your plan. Compare plans on our pricing page (https://officeniaga.com/pricing/).

### Can I set this up in the Calendar app on my phone?

No. Appointment schedules are created and edited in Google Calendar on a computer. Bookings still show in the phone app.
