Appointments and availability
Advanced options: guests, limits, message and redirect
Allow guests, limit appointments per week, show a confirmation message and redirect the client.
What it is for
Fine-tune an appointment type: the client can invite other people, you cap your workload, and you guide the client after booking.
Before you start
An existing appointment type (see Create and edit an appointment type).
Step by step
- In Types, click Edit next to the type.
- Guests allowed (0 to 10): number of people the client can add. On the booking page they see “Invite other people (optional, up to N)” and enter emails separated by commas.
- Maximum per day and Maximum per week: 0 means no limit.
- Message after booking (optional): text shown to the client once the booking is confirmed.
- Redirect to a page after booking: an https:// address (for example a thank-you page). The client is sent there after 5 seconds; a “Continue” link is also shown.
- Click Save.
Expected result
The rules apply to new bookings. Slots on a day or week that has reached the maximum disappear from the page.
Tips
- The redirect must start with https://: any other address is ignored.
- Guests receive the appointment confirmation by email.
Common problems
- The client sees “Invalid guest email: …”.
- They entered an incorrect address in the guests field.
- The client sees “You can invite at most N person(s).”.
- The number of guests exceeds the Guests allowed value.
- The redirect does not work.
- The address is not https:// (silently ignored) or the booking is awaiting payment.
