  2. 2They pick a day and see Available Times, with morning, afternoon and evening filters, then Confirm Booking.
  3. 3If the agent does not have their email address yet, it asks for it; otherwise it asks them to confirm it.
  4. 4The agent confirms the meeting, and the visitor receives a "Meeting confirmed" email with a Join Google Meet button. The event appears in your calendar.

Booking rules

  • Meetings are 60 minutes and start on the hour or half hour, only when the whole hour is free, and at least 15 minutes from now.
  • Your calendar is checked again just before booking, so two visitors can never take the same time.
  • A visitor can cancel or reschedule a meeting booked in the same chat ("cancel my meeting"); you both get a cancellation email.
  • When no times are free, the agent offers to put the visitor in touch with your team.
  • Bookings work in the website chat. Google Calendar is the only calendar supported.
