The Appointment App on UniLink lets you accept one-on-one appointment bookings directly from your page, replacing back-and-forth scheduling emails with a streamlined self-booking flow.
What is the Appointment App?
The Appointment App enables service providers, consultants, therapists, tutors, and any professional to list their available time slots and let clients book directly through their UniLink page. You define your availability, and clients pick a time that works for them — no manual coordination required. Payments can be collected at the time of booking to secure the appointment.
How to Enable the Appointment App
- Log in to UniLink Dashboard
- Go to Apps section
- Select Appointment and click Enable
- Set your availability, duration, and pricing
Features and Configuration
- Availability Calendar — Define your working hours and days so clients can only book during times you are free.
- Appointment Duration Settings — Configure how long each appointment lasts, from 15-minute quick calls to multi-hour sessions.
- Upfront Payment Collection — Charge a deposit or full fee at booking to reduce no-shows and secure your time.
- Buffer Time Between Bookings — Add automatic gaps between appointments so you have time to prepare or rest.
- Email Confirmations — Both you and the client receive automatic confirmation emails after each booking.
- Booking Management Dashboard — View all upcoming appointments, client details, and booking history in one place.
Best Practices
- Always require upfront payment at booking to dramatically reduce last-minute cancellations and no-shows.
- Set a clear cancellation policy in your appointment description so clients know the terms before they book.
- Keep your appointment duration accurate — underestimating leads to rushed sessions and overbooked calendars.
