Google appointment slots let you set up a block of appointments on your calendar that other people can reserve. For example, teachers can invite their students to reserve time during office hours each week. Appointment slots are useful when you don't know who needs to meet with you, but you want to make yourself available. You can offer people a block of time on your calendar that they can book time slots within. For example, you can set aside 2 hours that you're available to meet with people in 30-minute slots. Others can then book one of the 30-minute slots within that time that works best for them.

Google already has documentation created for using appointment slots. I've included the process below with screenshots outlining the process.

In order to use appointment slots, both parties must have Google accounts.

1. Log in to your Google account. Use the grid icon in the upper-right corner to select 'Calendar'.

2. From the 'Day' or 'Week' view, click an area in your calendar which you wish to create your appointment slots. A pop-up will appear asking you to enter details for the event. Click the section labeled 'Appointment Slot' and then click the 'More Options' link at the bottom of the window.

3. Enter a title for your appointment slots. In the example below, I've titled my appointment slots as 'Office Hours'. Edit the duration for each slot. To add this as a repeating time slot, click the dropdown that says 'Does Not Repeat' and change it to the appropriate time frame and click 'Save'. In the example below, the appointment slots will be available every weekday from 2:00pm - 4:00pm.

4. You will be returned to your calendar view and you will now see a block that was created for your new appointment slots. It will look like this.

5. Click the new event that you just created. Click the link titled 'Go to appointment page for this calendar'.

6. The appointment page for your calendar will look like the image below. The link for this page will need to be shared with anyone with a Google account that you would like to be able to schedule an appointment with. You can email this link out to students or you can add it as a link on your Canvas page for students to access easily. Please note, although you will be able to see all events in your calendar, whoever you share this link with, will only be able to see the appointment slot events that you've created.

7. Students will access the link that you shared in step 6. They will see only available appointment slots. Once a slot has been scheduled, it will not be visible to others to schedule. Students will click the appropriate time.

8. Students will then be asked to enter any additional information. The title will default to the event name followed by their name in parentheses. They can then add a description for the appointment if they choose and then click Save.

9. Your Google calendar will now show a new individual event that was created during the time slot that was chosen by that student. Clicking this event will open a new window which will reveal a unique Google Hangouts Meet link. This information will also be automatically emailed to both you and the student confirming that a new appointment was created.

Want to allow you clients to book appointments on your website using Bookable Appointment Slots in Google Calendar? I wouldn’t be writing this tutorial if I could find a comprehensive tutorial online, or if Google help documents weren’t as confusing.

Why we are creating bookable calendar on the website?

  • Because you might want your clients to book appointments with you on your website.
  • Because google calendar is likely already integrated with your every-day-life.
  • You avoid expensive client management systems by using free Google Calendar features.

What are we doing?

  • Creating a custom calendar that’s separate from your personal calendar.
  • Allowing public to use that new calendar.
  • Adding specific appointment slots.
  • Publishing it on a WordPress website (but any other website will do)

Making this calendar available to the public & notifications

Google Calendar Appointment Slots Google Meet

  • Select the 3 dot icon and click on “Settings and Sharing”
  • On access permissions elect “make available to the public”
  • If you don’t want to have schedule conflicts, make sure to select “…do not conflict”
  • I’d recommend adding email notification so that you know that someone has booked an appointment with you

Allow people to book appointment on your google calendar

Many people think that embedding a calendar allows your website visitors book appointments using google calendar. That is however not the case. Google calendar creates specific link that can be linked to a button that will allow visitor to be redirected to a booking page. Here is how to find that link and add it to your website:

  • On you calendar you should now see appointment slots. You first need to (Left Click) to bring out a menu.
  • On the menu you will see a blue text “Go to appointment page …” you need to Right click to bring out another menu.
  • Left click on “Copy Link Address” to save it. Now it can be sent to a developer to add to your site.

Add link to your site yourself

All that you’ll need is a code like this:

<a href=”your_copied_link_goes_here” target=”_blank”>Link</a>

All that you’ll need to do is to replace “your_copied_link_goes_here” with the actual link and insert it into your theme template file that’s specific to your WordPress page, or to your static HTML page. It can also be inserted in a text editor of your WordPress content block.

If it sounds too confusing, please don’t do it, tampering with source code will likely ruin your site. Simply ask a professional and it can be done under a minute. If you are charged over $20 for this by a developer – you are being ripped off. Find someone else.
