APPOINTMENT BOOKING REVIEW · Workflow idea

Make it easier to book a time while preventing conflicts and mistaken reservations.

Invite a customer to choose an appointment time from current availability, collect only the details needed for the booking, and prepare a calendar entry after they select a slot. Confirm the customer’s name, requested date, local time, and service before saving; check availability again to avoid a conflict; and clearly state whether the appointment is requested or confirmed.
