Step-by-step

How to do it

Read this section first. Each step tells you what to click, what to enter, and what should happen next. Use the video after the steps if you want to see the same flow in motion.

1
Choose the calendar connection

Open the appointments section and add the calendar account or booking target. Confirm the result before you move to the next step. Open appointments and connect the calendar or booking target before you expect the assistant to schedule anything.

2
Set the booking rules

Define the schedule, availability, and basic booking behavior so callers are routed correctly. Confirm the result before you move to the next step. Set the booking rules and working hours so the assistant knows when it can propose times.

3
Test a booking flow

Run a test appointment path before going live. Confirm the result before you move to the next step. Run a test booking flow and make sure the calendar connection actually accepts the booking.
