Create Google Calendar Appointment Schedule

You can use appointment schedules to create one booking page so that anyone can schedule time with you easily. People viewing your booking page only see your free availability that updates when other commitments are added to your calendar. This can be a helpful tool to create office hours or advising appointments.

You can customize the booking form to gather extra information from people at the time of booking.

Appointment schedules can only be made in your own calendar (e.g. coopergl). They cannot be done with other calendars listed under My/Other calendars.

Calendar/Appointment schedule tips:

  • To make sure no one books over a lunch break, create an “event” to block your lunch hour on your calendar or add your unavailable times.
  • If you're flexible on location, you can create a booking form. Be sure to select Custom Item. Make it Required. And then include that attendee can select their preference of in-person or virtual location.
