Appointments Now Available in the Client Portal

Clients can view, book, reschedule, and cancel eligible appointments from the Client Portal, while businesses control available calendars.

Clients can now manage appointments directly inside the Client Portal. They can view their schedule, book available times, and handle eligible changes without switching to email, separate booking links, or other tools.

What changed

View appointments in one place

Clients can see appointments inside the Client Portal, including:

  • Today, upcoming, and past appointment views
  • A full calendar view
  • Appointment details such as date, time, and status

Book new appointments

Clients can book appointments without leaving the portal. Their existing contact information is used automatically to reduce repetitive data entry.

If multiple calendars are enabled for Client Portal booking, clients can choose which calendar they want to book with.

Book again

After completing an appointment, clients can quickly book another appointment from the portal when they need to.

Reschedule or cancel appointments

Eligible appointments can be rescheduled or canceled directly from the Client Portal, helping reduce back-and-forth communication for schedule changes.

Business controls

Businesses decide which booking options are available to clients. You can:

  • Enable one or multiple calendars for Client Portal bookings
  • Choose which calendars clients can select when booking
  • Enable or disable the Appointments experience through Client Portal app permissions

How to enable appointments

1. Enable calendars for Client Portal booking

Go to Calendars > Calendar Settings > Meetings > Calendars.

Open the calendar you want to make available, then go to Edit Calendar > Booking Channels. Turn on Client Portal booking and save your changes.

Repeat this for each calendar you want clients to be able to book.

2. Enable the Appointments app

Go to Memberships > Client Portal > Settings > App Permissions.

Enable Appointments and save your settings. Once enabled, clients will see Appointments inside their Client Portal and can start viewing and booking available appointments.

Why it matters

Appointment management is now part of the Client Portal experience. Clients get more control over their schedules, while businesses can reduce manual booking, rescheduling, and cancellation requests.

Appointments are currently available in the new Client Portal UI.
