In Easy Appointment Booking, each team member is an availability: a schedule with a name. You can also make an availability for a room, a chair, or a piece of equipment. Each one has its own hours, its own email, and its own calendar.
Add a team member
- Click Availabilities in the app menu.
- Click Create.
- Under Details, type their First Name, Last Name, and Email.
- Under Weekly schedule, set the hours they work. See Set your weekly hours.
- Click Save changes.
To let customers book them, connect them to a service. See Let several team members take the same service.
To give them a day off, use a date override. See Block off a day or change hours for a date.
Send them a copy of their bookings
Each team member can get a copy (CC) of the booking emails for their appointments. The copy goes to the Email on their availability.
- Check their email: click Availabilities, then Set schedule next to their name, and look under Details.
- Go to Settings > Email & SMS notifications > Email Notification Settings.
- Check CC Availability Email. It is on by default.
- Click Save.
Only the team member the booking is assigned to gets the copy.
Connect their Google or Outlook calendar
When a team member's calendar is connected, their new bookings show up in it. With Google Calendar, busy times in their calendar are also closed for booking. Outlook does not do this.
- Google Calendar needs the Pro plan or higher.
- Outlook needs the Pro Plus plan or higher.
- First, connect your Google or Microsoft account in Settings > Calendar sync. See Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook.
- Click Availabilities, then Set schedule next to the team member.
- Scroll to Calendar Sync Settings.
- Under Google Calendar Sync or Outlook Calendar Sync, choose their calendar.
- Click Save changes.
Each team member can use a different calendar. One can use Google and another Outlook.
Add a photo and a contact link
Under Details:
- Image URL — the web address of a photo. It shows where customers choose a team member. Upload the photo somewhere online first, such as your Shopify Content > Files, and copy its link.
- Contact Link — a personal link, such as their Zoom room. Add
{{availability_contact_link}}to an email subject or text to include it.
Click Save changes.
You can put the team member's details in your texts and email subjects with {{availability_name}}, {{availability_email}}, and {{availability_contact_link}}.
