Best plugin for scheduling appointments?

hi17 · 2020-06-11T15:55:44.689Z

Thanks! This sounds like it could work.

I could possibly get by with just daily availability. It would be helpful if there are any examples of the additional Bubble programming to set time slots though. Are there any I can see?

Just do select daily availability. Then show timeslots as a repeatable group with buttons.

Hi all,

I have been working a few days on a desktop app, that works on the Calendly principle. But For making bookings for services or non planned / created service slots like most of the tutorials on the net. The template is not mobile optimised yet, so please don’t log bugs for this or tell me it’s net(for a next version), not as polished as most, but this is the good part that i can tell you to look forward too.

You can schedule appointments like doctors, therapists, service meetings anything you want.
Availability is NOT based on pre-populated slots. Its based on the user or company availability.
You can’t book an appointment if one exists in the slot( any part of the slot ) you are selecting. So interview slots will work well with this kind of app too.
Time slots is based on 15 min intervals.
The company lists Services or appointments times they want clients to book them for.
It sends email calendar notifications when an appointment was made and also in-app notifications to users that are booked for appointments.
It creates a client under the company the min an appointment was made with the company.
It supports multiple companies. With multiple employees.
The employee adds his availability between time slots per day. These timeslots are shown in the booking availability screen to the customer. Any slots booked or if the selected service booked has some part of the slot, or all of the select part selected already booked, will not be available to the customer to book. This is ultimately what we want to achieve and not setup slots to pick from to book a service.

So, in essence, a bit of Calendly and CRM.

These are the links if you want to check it out. Remember the "look’ of the template is not what I am trying to showoff. I want to showoff that this functionality is possible with Bubble.io despite what people see or know.

To look at the template. These are the links and credentials. You can message me on the app if you have an interest in the template or review the app with your comments. There is also in the menu option a link to report bugs if you find something that doesn’t work.

Link for booking.

Build stuff without code and launch a startup without a tech-cofounder! Bubble is a visual programing language. Instead of typing code, use a visual editor to build applications.

(You need to create your own test account to book an appointment. use a real email to see the notification emails.)

Test Company Credentials is on the login form of the app. to see what happens as a Company receiving appointments.

Hey @jan1 ,
I am looking to build something like this. Do you plan on turning it into a plugin, or opening up your application so others can see how you built it? Would love a peek to save me hours of mistakes!

Hey Jan! THis is really great! Are you planning to share this? I’d love to implement sometthing like this!

jan1 · 2020-10-14T06:11:27.901Z

Hi Jared, Thank you for the feedback. I’m not going to make it public right now, but I would help others on a consulting bases to implement the same type of solution. I have used the same in a marketplace app and enhanced some of the elements, like I am not using a repeating group with a list of available dates, now rather a block with available slots.
Get in touch if you want to discuss. Pm or email jan@goldkeytechnologies.com

Cheers

We had this problem, reach out to @ambroisedlg for the best option we’ve found - he’s built a fantastic Calendly style calendar/appointment setting system that lets you set block days/times and appointment availability and can help you clone it for your app. It’s a really great solution.

soojungish · 2021-01-03T19:12:11.184Z

Has this worked for anyone?

soojungish · 2021-01-03T19:14:42.922Z

Hey @gf_wolfer that seems to be pretty much the way I configured mine as well. Let’s share some thoughts when you finalize it if you’d like!

Cheers

Will do! Working on the booking logic at the moment which may lead to optimizations, I’ll keep ya posted

Hey guys. I’ve been working on something as well. It is a combo of an attempt to clone Google Calendar and Calendly in one template.

I posted a while back about the future release demonstrating the Calendar functions HERE

I’ve since gotten through making the Calendly portion and hope to have it submitted to the marketplace by the end of the week.

This scheduling portion has many of the functions of Calendly but not all.

Users can create as many events as they want. The can create multiple schedules and apply a schedule to an event. They can also create a custom schedule for a particular event.

Additionally users can create ‘Alternative Schedules’ for each schedule or custom schedule for an event…this is for those instances when a user wants to change their normal availability to take into consideration personal holidays or days they just need to alter their availability hours.

Users can also create multiple time ranges for a particular day. An example would be the user wants to be available on Mondays from 9AM to 12PM and then 2PM to 5PM.

When creating schedules it is super simple to copy over times from one day to others.

Here are a couple of videos demonstrating the creation of a schedule as well as an event being scheduled.

The video demonstrating an event being scheduled shows two events being scheduled back to back. The first demonstrates the ability for the event creator to designate a buffer before and after an event and those settings being reflected in the list of available time slots for that day.

Mockup

There are also the functions for the event organizer to view their scheduled events in two different areas of the app…the first would be on the Calendar and the second is demonstrated below (kind of hard to see using the gif)

dashboard

Scheduled Events

Template is fully responsive on all devices and orientations.

A few bonus features such as Date Range Calendar for making Bookings and Time Picker.

Could also customize to allow events to be created to allow more than one attendee for freelancers who are holding classes as events.

I will be your first customer! Really looking for a template with this functionality. Drop me a line when the template is live and ready for purchase.

boston85719 · 2021-01-13T03:08:26.346Z

Hi @pennygum

The template has finally been released onto the marketplace.

You can find it HERE

Cheers

pennygum · 2021-01-14T00:16:57.067Z

Thank you for letting me know!

nocodeventure · 2021-01-14T01:06:07.250Z

Does this template handle timezone differences?
