What Appointments does

Booking, the team calendar and reminders, connected to the contacts and chats you already have in Vextro.

Appointment types and team availability

Set up each kind of appointment with its length, buffer time, online or in-person location, and the team members who take it. Each member has weekly hours, plus time off and closures.

  • How far ahead customers can book, and how much notice you need
  • Bookings that wait for your approval before they are confirmed
  • A limit on repeat no-shows: hold their next booking for approval, or refuse it

Booking inside a WhatsApp chat

Add the Book Appointment block to a flow. The customer picks a day and then a time from reply buttons, and the flow carries on once the booking is made. Answers from a WhatsApp form earlier in the flow are kept on the appointment.

Booking pages and a website embed

Publish a booking page at book.vextro.net with your own questions, or give each team member a personal page. Copy the embed code to put the same page on your website.

  • The customer gets a receipt with Add to Google Calendar and a calendar file
  • Spam protection on every public booking

No double bookings

One team member cannot be booked twice for the same time, whether the booking comes from a chat, a booking page or the dashboard. If two customers pick the same slot, the second is offered other times.

Confirmations and reminders as rules

Rules send confirmations, reminders and follow-ups when an appointment is booked, changed or coming up. A rule can reach the customer on WhatsApp, Email or SMS, and tells your team member by notification.

  • Recommended rules set up in one step
  • WhatsApp rules start sending once Meta approves their template
  • An invite to book for each new lead from Meta Lead Ads (with CRM)

A calendar your team works from

Day, week, month and list views, filtered by member, type, status, source and label. Book from the calendar, a contact's page or beside a chat in the inbox.

  • Confirm, reschedule, cancel, complete or mark a no-show, with the history kept
  • Mark arrivals, send a running-late message, reassign appointments
  • Insights: bookings by source, no-show rate, busiest times and each member's utilisation

How you set it up

Four steps from your opening hours to your first reminder.

  1. Set your hours

    Choose your time zone, then each team member's weekly hours and any time off.

  2. Create an appointment type

    Its length, buffers, location, who takes it, and whether bookings need approval.

  3. Open it to customers

    Publish a booking page and share the link or embed it on your website, and add the Book Appointment block to a WhatsApp flow.

  4. Turn on reminders

    Add the recommended rules, or write your own, for confirmations, reminders and follow-ups.
