Appointment Scheduling Handbook

Self-booking and Round-robin features

Booking appointments with site members is most appreciated when the client doesn’t have to leave your website to reserve a slot. The best solution is to integrate a widget on your website and can customize it according to your choice. Website integration is done by two methods, either by generating a code to embed a widget or by creating an URL linked to your website.
