Using Google Calendar to Set Up Appointment Slots

Only those who have a Google Calendar account for work or school are able to use this function.

On your calendar, you may create appointments that people can reserve.
Professors, for instance, could ask their students to schedule time during work hours each week.

Make sure to choose the primary calendar as the owner of your Google Account if you have several calendars.

3. Recommend that people make reservations

   You can invite individuals to schedule time after you’ve set aside appointment times.

   Get a URL for your appointment slots page instead, and send that to them:

   1. Launch the Google Calendar.
   2. To open the appointment slots event, simply click on it.
   3. The appointment page link for the calendar can be located at the top of the event.
   4. People who want to make an appointment should send this link to them.

      Note: Reservations must be made through Google Calendar.
      To begin, they can open a Google Account.
