Best plugin for scheduling appointments?

jared.gibb · 2020-10-13T00:56:44.354Z

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

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.

Has this worked for anyone?

Hi @hi17 have you found a solution for the time slot level for bookings?

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)

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

Thank you for letting me know!

Does this template handle timezone differences?

boston85719 · 2021-01-14T05:11:31.914Z

Yes. When a user who creates their schedule receives a booking from a user in another time zone both users receive emails confirming the date and time in their respective timezone.

Users who are in a different timezone than the schedule creator will view the available time slots in their relative time zone. So a user who creates a schedule who is in Indochina timezone, is booked by a user in EST time zone (12 hour difference) the schedule creator who listed Monday 10AM availability will be displayed as Sunday 10PM to the user booking a meeting from EST time zone.

Advanced Bubblers - How to Create a Calendar Pattern that is Timezone Aware Question

Finally finished up the template today, so I got a chance to test out the different timezones and everything seems to work fine. I was able to change my timezone in google chrome using developer tools. I made some test bookings for my local time zone (Indochina) as well as New York and Los Angeles. All three times I choose from the calendar the same date (January 13, 2021). Below are screen shots from my database from the LA and NY bookings, which were made for the same time slot (deleted the …

Hello

Do you have an estimate om when the plugin will be released?

Kind regards,
Peter

gf_wolfer · 2021-01-16T00:14:57.486Z

Won’t be a plugin but a template that I am hoping to make it ‘copyable’ to other apps so could be used like a plugin but more flexible because you can fully edit it.

The template should be ready in a week-ish

peter11 · 2021-01-22T12:29:48.551Z

Any status? Would like a preveiw

gf_wolfer · 2021-01-24T16:05:54.423Z

Haven’t worked on it to much lately, and I’ve been coming up with wayyy too many use cases that made me realize there is no ‘one size fits all’ scheduler like I wanted to do. Hoping to have something soon with good details on what it is ideal for (and then gauge interest if people want other features)
