Set up a booking page with Calendar appointment schedules

Updated For Google Workspace

Set up an appointment schedule (0:28)

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 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 or our pricing page.

Do this in Google Calendar on a computer.

  1. Click Create, then Appointment schedule.

    Create menu in Google Calendar with Appointment schedule highlighted

  2. If Calendar shows an Add availability to an existing schedule box, click the pencil icon next to your schedule to edit it, or choose Create a new appointment schedule. Otherwise the new schedule opens straight away.

  3. Click Add title at the top and name your booking page, for example “30-minute consultation”.

  4. Under Appointment duration, pick how long each appointment lasts, for example 30 minutes.

  5. Under General availability, leave Repeat weekly and 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.

The second screen also has Booking page photo and name, to check how you appear to clients, and Payments & cancellation policy, which is set to no payment and no cancellation policy unless you change it.

Give clients the link wherever they already talk to you.

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

  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.

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.
