Appointment Information
- Appointment name (required): e.g. Initial Consultation, 30 min meeting, etc.
- Location: this could be a physical location like your office, a phone number to call, or a link for an online video-conference meeting.
- Instructions / Event description (required): this is a public description that prospective clients will see on the Scheduler page when picking a date & time for an appointment.
- Internal note: This will only be displayed internally, appended to the event's description in the selected calendar.
- On appointment booking:
- Add new appointments to lead inbox to allow for a confirmation: booked appointments will appear in the lead inbox to be either accepted or declined.
- Add new appointment directly to the pipeline (this can potentially create duplicate contacts): specify which column on your intake pipeline you want new leads created via this appointment booking workflow to be added to (Note: you can add or edit Pipeline columns under Matter Statuses on the Settings > Matters page).
- Click Next to save & continue.

Basic booking settings
