Welcome to Appointlet, your tool for seamless and efficient online scheduling! With our platform, you'll be able to effortlessly coordinate meetings, manage team availability, and integrate essential tools to optimize your scheduling process.
Understanding Scheduling Pages and Meeting Types
At the heart of Appointlet are Scheduling Pages and Meeting Types. Scheduling Pages are where your attendees will go to book meetings with you.
Those meetings are represented by Meeting Types. Each meeting type has its own settings like location (physical place, phone call, or web conference), intake form, and scheduling rules.
Setting up Availability
Appointlet’s availability tool allows you to choose the dates and times you’d like to be available, whether you're consistently available at the same times each week or on specific dates only. There are two ways to set up availability:
Schedules: Configure one or more schedules for yourself and team members in the Schedule Manager. Schedules are helpful when you need to use the same availability across multiple meeting types.
Custom Meeting Type Availability: Make exceptions to your standard schedule(s) for a specific meeting type. This is especially helpful when multiple people are assigned to a meeting type who need to use the same schedule.

Connecting a Calendar
Appointlet supports connections with Google and Office 365/Outlook calendars and will add meetings to the calendar of your choice while blocking out time slots when you're already busy. You can view our detailed calendar integration guides here.
Connecting a Web Conferencing Account
If you offer virtual meetings, integrating a web conferencing tool with Appointlet streamlines the process. Once connected, Appointlet can automatically generate meeting links for your appointments.
Appointlet offers direct integrations with Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, GoToMeeting, and Join.Me. Don’t see your web conferencing service in the list?

Testing Your Scheduling Page
After setting up your preferences, it’s essential to test your scheduling page to ensure everything runs smoothly for your attendees. Simply navigate to your Pages tab and click the "View Live" button at the top of the screen. This lets you experience your scheduling page just like an attendee would, ensuring that they get the best booking experience possible.
