Online Appointments
Based on the availability of employees and clients, it is easy to schedule online appointments in the Odoo Calendar module. Once you install the Appointment module in Odoo from AppStore, you will get the option to manage and schedule online appointments in the Calendar module. The online appointment feature will reduce the difficulties in scheduling meetings with clients. You can find the Online Appointments menu in the main menubar of the module.
As you can see in the image above, this platform will show all scheduled appointments in this module. To create a new appointment you can click on the Create button.
In the Appointment Type field, you can mention the type of appointment. You can create new opportunities and assign them to the responsible employee for each scheduled appointment by activating the Create Opportunities button. Under the Scheduling tab, you can define the Appointment Duration, Schedule Appointment, Allow Cancelling, Timezone, Reminders, Location, Assignment Method, and Restrict Countries. The Schedule Appointment field can be used to mention the time to schedule the appointment. Odoo will allow you to cancel the appointment until the specified time in the Allow Cancelling field. The Assignment method will define how employees will be assigned to meetings customers book on your website. It can be set as Random or Chosen by the customer. You can allow visitors from selected countries only and restrict visitors from particular countries by mentioning the countries in the Restric Countries field. The list of available employees can be added under the Available Employees tab.
