How lawyers use Appointfy
Initial consultations
New clients book a 30-minute initial consult over WhatsApp, paying the consultation fee at booking time. No more no-shows.

Recurring follow-ups for ongoing matters book automatically as a series. Each generates its own reminder.
Document signings
Quick 15-minute slots for signing visits, separated from the lengthy consultation slots.
Frequently asked questions
Is WhatsApp appropriate for legal communication?
WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted and is widely used for client communication globally. The booking system messages contain only appointment time and confirmation, never case details.
Can I integrate with my case management system?
Direct integration is on the roadmap. For now, customer records can be exported as CSV.
How does payment for consultations work?
Stripe Connect collects the consultation fee at booking. The fee is refunded automatically if the client cancels in time.
Can I block time for court appearances?
Yes. Time off, court days, and personal blocks all flow into the same calendar and remove those slots from booking.
