Calendar for Appointment App – Starter Plan, Plugin Not Showing, Need Help

[ysfzdgr]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to build a simple appointment scheduling system in Bubble.

Currently, I’m on the Starter plan, and I’m facing two major issues:

1. I installed calendar/date picker plugins, but they don’t show up under the Elements section. Not sure if it’s due to Starter plan limitations or something else.
2. I want to use Current date/time to let users pick a date, but I’m struggling with the click/selection logic. Maybe I’m just not wiring it correctly.

My goal is simple:

Let the user pick a date and create an appointment.

I don’t need to build a custom calendar grid manually — a working picker is totally fine.

But the default tools aren’t working well for me right now.

My questions:

• What’s the fastest and most reliable way to build a working calendar in Bubble?
• Are there calendar/date pickers that work without plugin access?
• How can I use the built-in date/time picker effectively with workflows?

Any help would be truly appreciated

Thanks so much!

Having a user save the date isn’t very hard

If you want to build a appointment scheduling system. I’d actually recommend you to go find a pre-built template. See how they built it and make whatever you need from that.

A free template like Calendly Clone . It has absolutely everything for an optimized fully functional scheduling system once subscribed to the paid plugin at $30/month. So for $360/year you get an out of the box fully functional working system.

Bubble date pickers are the only ones or you can use javascript to write the code to create one

Reference the date/time pickers value with dynamic expressions
