Book an Appointment
As well as sending contacts a link to book an appointment themselves, you can also schedule an appointment manually (even if it is outside your normal availability). To book an appointment in a team calendar, you must be an assigned user within that specific calendar. There are a few ways to book an appointment including Quick Add, directly in Calendars, or in Contacts. To book a time slot that doesn't appear on the calendar, you need to do book the appointment in in Calendars.

1. Click on the green lightning bolt icon at the top of the main left-hand menu and select Book an Appointment.
2. In the pop-up window, search for the contact (by name, email, phone or company) or click Add New to add a new contact.
3. Change the calendar, team member, and appointment date/time (as required).
4. Select the required time zone (choose either the account time zone, contact time zone or custom time zone). You also have the option to update the time zone for the contact.
