Quick Answer
Create the calendar, configure availability, and share it
Open Calendars, select Create Calendar, choose the calendar type, set the availability, attach a booking form, configure confirmations, and save the calendar. You can then share its booking link or embed it on a website or funnel.
Setting Up a Calendar Without Missing Key Configuration Steps
You may want to start booking appointments, but it is not always clear how to set up a calendar with the right availability, forms, and confirmation settings.
Calendar setup connects scheduling, contact data, and notifications into one system that controls how bookings are created and managed.
If important settings such as availability, forms, or confirmations are skipped, your calendar may not function correctly or capture the details you need.
This guide walks you through setting up your first calendar so appointments are booked and managed correctly from the start.
Calendar Setup at a Glance
Before You Begin
Decide how the calendar should work before starting the setup process.
- Decide whether the calendar is for one user or a team.
- Identify the service or appointment the calendar will book.
- Choose the days and hours when appointments can be scheduled.
- Decide what information the booking form should collect.
- Prepare the confirmation message attendees should receive.
Calendar integrations can be added later
You do not need to connect a Google or Outlook account before creating the calendar. External accounts can be connected later from Calendar Settings.
