Online Consultations: Setting Up Video Appointments with Google Meet

The demand for online consultations has grown significantly. Therapists, coaches, lawyers, dietitians, and many other professionals now offer their services remotely through video calls.

Why Offer Online Appointments?

Online appointments expand your reach beyond your local area. A therapist in Istanbul can serve clients in London. A business coach can work with entrepreneurs anywhere in the world.

Google Meet Integration

Appointfy integrates with Google Calendar to automatically generate Google Meet links for online appointments. When a customer books an online service, a meeting link is created and included in their confirmation message.

Setting It Up

1. Connect your Google Calendar in the Integrations page 2. When creating a service, select "Online" as the location type 3. Customers who book this service automatically receive a Google Meet link
