Google Calendar Update 2023: NEW Google Calendar Booking Schedule Feature

[@TasiaCustode]

Has anyone created a booking schedule yet? Comment below!

[@BradWieland]

@TasiaCustode, you mentioned that additional Booking "Types" is only available with Google One Premium. What about Google Workspace accounts? Do we get this feature with that? (I don't think Google One is available for Workspace accounts?)

[@TasiaCustode]

@@BradWieland yes! You could upgrade to either to get the ability to add more than one type of booking. With workspace they are called “appointment slots” and you can make multiple different ones, recurring or not.

[@ryanculverwell]

@TasiaCustode is this available to personal Google accounts or only Google Workspace accounts? and thank you for the great video.

[@TasiaCustode]

@Frog_for_life hi Ever! 👋🏻

[@jmcdwork]

I have used them in the past. But Google changed a lot since my last time. This really helped out. At the place where I work, it has been very helpful. I am in IT and a couple of times a year I have to perform scheduled PC swaps for new models. This makes it it so much easier than just emailing back and forth with appointment requests and keeps down time conflicts.

[@Stemtaught-LS]

I don't usually comment on videos, but I just wanted to say thank you! You were so succinct but detailed and saved me a ton of time testing the tool own my own. Thanks a bunch, great content!

[@MichaelSeneschal]

One tip. If you have an event on your calendar that overlaps the appointment time slots it will override the time slots ONLY if the event is marked busy. If the event is marked Free then the time slots will still show up. This is huge if you want something on your calendar that’s not so important but still want to have the time slots available for booking.

[@resmerry1478]

Thank you for this!

[@MichaelSeneschal]

@@Grandpa_RLP OK…. Lemme see….. Imagine you’re a fitness instructor and you use Google Calendar to manage your personal training sessions. You’ve set up recurring appointment slots on weekdays from 9 AM to 11 AM for clients to book their training sessions with you. One day, you plan to attend a casual, non-mandatory coffee meet-up with other local fitness instructors. This meet-up is from 10 AM to 11 AM on a Wednesday. While you want to keep this in your calendar, you don’t want it to block out your availability for training clients, since the coffee meet-up is informal and you can skip it if needed. So, you add the coffee meet-up to your calendar from 10 AM to 11 AM, but mark it as “Free” instead of “Busy.” This way, your 9 AM to 11 AM training slots on Wednesday remain open for clients to book. If a client books a session during that time, you’ll prioritize the training session over the meet-up. If no one books, you have the option to attend the meet-up without affecting your schedule’s availability for clients.

[@DaveDrinkwater-wy9iw]

If you didn't write this I wasn't going to use this! I use my Google calendar every day but am happy to move events over for sales calls. Thanks

[@courtsamybuliva1318]

Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.

[@JohnHartley-cr1io]

Mmm OK I only have "appointment slots" I think this need to be enabled in settings first. Good idea to mention this first...

[@dmillener3619]

This...was...PERFECT! Thank you! The most comprehensible, easy-to-follow instructions I've come across in a VERY long time! Thank you tremendously!

[@carolearle4128]

Love the way you present this, very easy to follow. Love it.

[@Megalodon_v2_]

Okay I'm having a hard time figuring this out. My personal account I can do everything in video but on my business account where i want to use this all i have is appointment slots and in the settings I don't have the check box to change it like Ohers suggested in comments. What do I do or why is this a problem?

[@amandaaleece87]

I had the same issue. I did a chat with Google and this was their response; "I have checked your subscription, but sadly Amanda the appointment schedule feature is not available for Business Starter plan. It is only available with a Business Standard Plan. A KZbin video I watched said it was included with a free plan. It is included with a free plan, but not a paid plan? That doesn't seem to make sense. Sadly Amanda the free Gmail account you have seen has to be clubbed with Google One premium add on, only in that scenario appointment schedule will be added, and it will not be a free plan anymore." So unfortunately, this doesn't look like a free feature at all. I'm confused by the video saying that it is a free feature and all the commentors that were able to do this.

[@kellsiebainmakeup]

I use an iPad the option for “appointment scheduling” doesn’t appear. I also have the basic business plan. Does anyone have an idea why I’m not getting the “scheduling” options?

[@pixiestyx44]

click the create button and then you will see the appointment options. It doesn't show if you just try to click into a day on the calendar, at least this is how it worked for me. Good luck.

[@ltelpc]

Is there a way to add appointments that need to be purchased? Or adding a payment option?

I was looking for this info for a bit too long , thanks!

[@illturner3805]

is there a solution if you have diferent services and different timeslots?

[@Fishheadmeow]

Thank you! You really guide me through the details of setting up my available time for my clients to see in a glance! Appreciated!

[@andree-annemethot3709]

thank you Tasia! Do you know if there is an option that we have to confirm (accept) when people take an appointment online?

[@individualfitnesssolutions3664]

can this booking schedule be used in wix?

[@TPG-Business]

Tasia, thank you so much for doing this video. I've created the booking page and set up on my draft website. Onwards and upwards.

[@illusica]

This is such a fantastic and helpful video!! Thank you so much for making it! Could you also make a video about google workspace paid version and how to set up multiple types different kinds of appointments and setting up paid appointment slots. Thank you so much!! Oh any what type of plan in google workspace where those options are actually available.

[@Raydriel26]

Is there a way to use zoom instead of google meet for this feature? thank you!

[@debstoner6519]

I'm going to give this a try for the nonprofit I manage. Thank you for the complete and easy-to-understand tutorial. I'm subscribing to your channel.

[@mckaykriser4676]

Thanks for being quick and easy to the point in the beginning! It adds value to your video.

[@HelenGalt-z2e]

Your video is exactly what I was looking for, your crystal clear explanation is very helpful. Thank you :)

[@oskarlitwinpl]

Tasia, thank you for your video! If I can ask about step in 0:44, because I don't see this option in my calender, what I can do?

[@linfordcox7006]

I'm definitely will be using this appointment slot feature over SignUp Genius for my parent/teacher conferences. It is AMAZING!... and I love your teacher type/style way of explaining. You too are AMAZING! Thank you!

[@EdgyAndAgeless]

Thank you so much for the informaiton. qucik question, is there a way to send MULTIPLE reminders? by text or email? Thank youso much!!!

[@RemarketingDigital]

Fantastic! Great video and tips, congratulations and thank you!!!

[@miltonbrownrigg8409]

Google Calendar is my lifeblood. Thank you Tasia.

[@TasiaCustode]

It just keeps getting better too! You’re most welcome, Milton!

[@ColeEricaP]

Very Helpful.. Thank you so much, Tasia.

[@TasiaCustode]

You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful.

[@paolajewelry2164]

Thank you for your video ♥ Is it posible for lots of people to schedule at the same event? or if one registered then this is closed for the next ones to booking?

[@amitgalkin1215]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I didnt even notice they have it! now I use it regularly thank to you!

[@the_cali_trainer]

can you connect stripe or payment processing to google calendar ? How do you get people to pay before attending a meeting or a class for example ?

[@houseofsada43]

another easy to do great video Tasia...thanks for doing the hard work for us

[@alvinamistad4305]

what if i want to allow multiple bookings on the same time slot? ex. 4 bookings on the 9am time slot. can this be done?

[@susannahgillespie2083]

I'd love to know this as well!

[@CREATIVECOMM.]

Thank you so much for this detailed session.

[@mutarq]

You've explained everything just perfect!!.. Thank you for your time in making this high quality tutorial

[@DrAishaCh]

Hello! I can't seem to work out how customers can reschedule instead of just cancel their appointments. Do you know?

[@briannalynnnewkirk]

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. Do I need to have a different type of google calendar account to access this feature? I don't see it when I follow the steps.

[@barbecue4u]

Hi Tasia, I have everything set up correctly but, for some reason, when people book dates, I am not getting an email back to me alerting me to the new booking...but the person making the booking IS getting that email...any ideas on what I am missing?

[@Guhbufdppp]

Thank you so much for sharing this helpful info. I was able to follow along step by step as I set it up.👍👍

[@SAMHINMOTORHR]

can u show example how customer can booking? n if we want do for our websites meaning that we nee to use gmail for the website right?

[@jacksclassinrelax]

Thank you so much for so much information. I'm having problems letting the bookable feature reckognise an external calendar which I integrated into the google one. So, the g calendar would show the events frrom the external c. but it wouldn't block the availability of those events. Is it because I have the free version of the G calendar? thanks

[@JosephLestingi]

Tasia, my form does not include the "Appointment Schedule" choice. What am I doing wrong?

[@michelepelkonen912]

At the very bottom of the Settings page (click the gear in the upper right), you'll see "Appointment schedules". Tick the box to "Create appointment schedules instead of appointment slots.

[@anthonymendola2108]

Are you able to set the location at the customer's home? For example, scheduling in-home consultations with the location set to the person's home who is filling out the form. Or would I have to use none and create a custom field for their address?

[@jamieoverbey5807]

So glad to see this - thank you!

[@Thomas_Fisher88]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@SamuelOh]

Do you know if there is a way to create separate booking pages for individual calendars that are associated with my main google calendar account?

[@fortunemediaau]

sadly this is not possible i just talked to google staff, did you find any other way?

[@SamuelOh]

@@fortunemediaau nope unfortunately not. Just ended up using third party booking services instead.

[@CalebCarter-zu7ko]

Hi there, this is super helpful. Problem I run into is where to make my link to my booking page avail. Is there a way to add it to your Calender without having to individually send it to people?

[@DaveDrinkwater-wy9iw]

Definitely a great video. Very clear

[@SplendorSlay]

Thank you so much!

[@mambamindsets]

Do you know if there are cancellation time limits. For example if the person wants to cancel the booking and its less than 24 hours from the appointment time, google won't let them?

[@Noufajmi-o4h]

@TasiaCustode Great video thank you. Can I Apply this to a nails salon with several techs? Can you please do a video on that.

[@siasea_lang]

Thank you so much for this video! It was really useful!

[@lilianaflores6257]

Thank you for sharing❤

[@ivonapavacic7092]

Hi. When scheduling appointment does the other person (the one who is scheduling) has to be logged in to google account?

[@EdgyAndAgeless]

I created one, and i'm happy with it! My only caviot is I cannot figure out how to change a time on the original booking schedule for ONE client. We decided to change the time. Is there a way to do that for an already booked client? THANK YOU SO. MUCH FOR THIS!

[@williamhurndon7580]

I created a scheduled page, why when I test it my information shows in the fields and not blank? Thanks

[@VanJohnson-t4r]

Awesome! Love the video and love you vibe. Great infomation!!

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

In the availability how do you set it to 24/7, if you don't want to add the email just first and last name can you do that

[@whiteowl0227]

I only see "view appointment slots" and in the settings I don't see an option for appointment schedule despite having Google Workspace. Any ideas as to why that is?

[@DrFirg]

It awesome video, sure i will use it. doing it soon. thank u

[@SarahMichael-cs1yz]

Thanks so much This is helpful

[@frankferraro751]

Great presentation. Appreciate you.

[@goldenbayhoney]

Great video!!! I am presently working on a website for our beehive tours. I have managed to follow along with setting up the google calendar. The part I am having a problem with is when I add a booking button to the website and paste the calendar link, it keeps saying I have the wrong URL number. Are you able to advise me on perhaps what I am doing wrong.

[@stanceworks7995]

Im struggling to remove the slide bar on the right side of my google calendar that i embedded in my wordpress site- i want the booking page to be on the whole page so that there isnt a scroll for the booking page itself

[@eliseclarke6091]

Thanks for the great video! Is google calendar able to be made to have 60 or 90min time slots as options?

[@Thailand-Divers-Phuket]

Great tips :) Thank you keep up the great work :) :)

[@TasiaCustode]

Thanks for watching!

[@ArinRussell.Property]

Yes this is great, I will be using this from now on! THANK YOU :)

[@todddammit4628]

Its awesome, I just wish they'd let the person booking choose between Google Meet, Phone, In-Person, and others like Zoom, Facetime, Teams, Hangouts etc.

[@isabel2cents]

You can add zoom!

[@CoachKemZisSoapBox]

LOVE this! Thank you so much. This was super helpful! I'm totally going to use this, especially because I pay for Google Workspace already.

[@VanessaSerumYouth]

Love! Thanks for sharing

[@josephmixon6514]

Would this be different for google business accounts?

[@afzalmansuri8320]

This video was very helpful for me

[@Anhar-n3r]

that was helpful. TY

[@riyaaadh205]

The "appointments schedule " options is not available at all not even in settings , what can i do ?😢

[@amandaaleece87]

I had the same issue. I just did a chat with Google and found out why. This is still in the testing phase and was not released to everyone. What you have to do is go to your Google Workspace Admin Dashboard --- Apps --- Additional Google Services --- turn ON "Early Access Apps". THEN go to Account --- Account Settings --- Preferences --- New Features --- switch to "Rapid Release". Can take up to 24 hours to refresh and add it on. I just did this, so I haven't waited the full 24 hours yet... hoping it works!

[@KatMayers]

@@amandaaleece87 thank you so much for sharing this tip. You are awesome!

[@erinlewis5481]

My issue is that ALL of the empty schedule appointment bookings show up on my calendar and create soooooo much visual clutter. I sent in feedback, but cannot figure out how to only have the booked appointments show on the calendar. Suggestions?

[@saqqara_]

I have the same problem. I has made my calendar unreadable at this point

[@Techno_Guys.]

Thanks Tasia love you from India ❤

[@TasiaCustode]

Hi! Thanks for watching!

[@tzuenchang6514]

Thank YOU! It is really helpful!

[@deniseloweinspires]

excellent video!! very well explained. Looking forward to getting started with Google Calendar!! Thank you very much for making it very simple and clear.

[@ieishah.9140]

So i can only set up one schedule is what tour saying to avoid having to pay??

[@CuBeAreaFUN]

awesome! Thank you so much!

[@TasiaCustode]

You're so welcome!

[@nicolasbertschy5881]

Great video, thanks!

[@mesmerizingmuse]

If I send by e-mail the link to my G Calendar, can the person access the calendar anytime since they have the link ? Or will they see only the week that you send them the schedule ?

[@Ohioskinsfan]

GREEEEEAAAAT VIDEO!!

[@lissadeboardallen9381]

Following the directions EXACTLY. What would be the reason when I go to look at the calendar at the end, it says no times are available? I'm using one day only for scheduling, 4 hour block of time at 5 minute increments. Everything is fine until I complete it and go to look at it. Any suggestions?

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Tasia. Happy Thursday! I may try this out.

[@TasiaCustode]

You're welcome, Ron! Have fun creating your booking schedule!

[@UpwardCreatives]

Hi Tasia, Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial. I am launching my website at 12:00am 01-01-24 and was looking for something to start with. This helped me so much! Don

[@liberato7268]

This was excellent. Thank you

Does anyone know if it works with Zapier? I use Zapier to connect my scheduling system and my CRM (Pipedrive)

[@fabiolareis5745]

Your content is awesome! Congrats!

[@macenary187]

For some reason I can only see appointment slots

[@MagallyRengifo]

Love her enthusiasm!

[@jimyrarose]

I'm trying to create a golf tee time booking calendar. They are every 15 minutes starting at 7 am until 2 pm or later depending on the day. Some days have different times that need to be blocked out. It's a seniors community and they have no money so I'm trying to help them with a cost-free way to let people book online.

[@SeedScaling553]

What if I want booking clients to pay me for my time? Do Google calendar have any such option?

[@Gaminiheraliyawala]

This is fantastic and very useful.👌👌👍👍💐💐 Is there any method to capture the same on a google sheet as well? Appreciate your expertism.

[@nasirmahmood5026]

Greetings. It was a very informative video. May I ask you a question please? Of course, I would not like share my whole calendar to that unknown person who only needs to book an appointment. What settings I can do, while sharing the calendar, so that he can only see the slots for which he can book an appointment? Regards

[@knethiz]

I login with the gmail but use my domain email within gmail to receive and reply emails. How can this domain email be used as default when scheduling a meeting? I don't have workspace.

[@paulbanicki314]

Of course I don’t see these options when I open my google calendar. Is that because I am using an iPad Pro?

[@NathanPeifer]

If I have 30 minute appointments throughout the day, is there any way my guests can reserve four consecutive slots at the same time? They can click each of the 30 minute slots, but I wonder if the process can be simplified if someone wants 2 hours of my time?

[@AngeNeale]

Hi Tasia...I loved this... you made it so easy to follow along :) However for some reason all my available times are not coming up in the appointment bookings page but everything is working correctly in my calendar. All my all day events are tagged as free.

[@Grandpa_RLP]

I was looking at Calendly but this seems to be the same thing. Is this shareable between two accounts or so that the wife can add family things onto the calendar?? If so are the family things invisible to others? Can you make those invisible?

[@marsonjupiter8]

Is there an option to block timeslots without adding an event? e.g. i dont feel like having appointments tomorrow morning so can i block certain hours or do i have to add an event so it shows as unavailable

[@michelepelkonen912]

You can select the Change a date's availability and from there you can make various changes. I can't add an image here unfortunately, but I have on a single day, for example that I am available 10-12 and then 13-16, and then again 18-22. I can block out a specific date by entering it here and marking it as unavailable.

[@tarynyoung442]

This was really really helpful! thank you!
