Change Appointment time to text

Ask the Community Customization

Hello, I have an event that runs all day long. I would like to change the button that lists the start time to one that just says RSVP so it is more obvious.

Great to see you in our Community, @Eric_Keyser! Welcome :waving_hand:

You’d like to replace the start time with RSVP in the event popup, while the end date and time should be kept. Is everything correct?

If this is the case, please specify the event you’d like to customize. I’ll be happy to check if anything can be done :slightly_smiling_face:

What’s the best way to share my widget with you? Do I do share by Link?

Here’s what it looks like currently. My team doesn’t think that clicking on the 10am button is intuitive enough, so we were trying to think of ways to make it more obvious. If I can replace the 10:00am with RSVP, that might be enough. Also, if there is an easy way to make the text of that box pop more, I think that would do it.

Got it, thanks!

Do you need to replace the time with text in all slots or only on Saturdays?

This is only a one-time event. I suspect there is a better widget to use, but we plan to use this one for bookings in the future, so I thought to test it here. This is mostly to collect RSVP information. Spots are unlimited and we just want to know who is coming for the volunteer event.

The thing is, even if we replace the time with “RSVP,” that slot can only be booked once. We already have a request for allowing multiple appointments in the same time slot. Feel free to upvote it here — Multiple appointments for the same time slot.

Additionally, there’s a request for an RSVP feature for our Event Calendar app, which would be a better fit for this situation. You can support that idea here :slightly_smiling_face: — Add a RSVP feature.

We’ve had 43 bookings though. So, it does not seem to be limiting attendees.

One other note: We’re seeing the respondents on the spreadsheet integration, but I am not getting the emails. Is there a way to check the email logs?

Ah, I see, multiple appointments are possible since you haven’t connected your widget with the Google Calendar. If the Google Calendar integration is enabled, only one booking per slot is possible.

Here is the code to replace the time slot with the RSVP text:

.es-time-slot-picker-time {
    font-size: 0 !important;
}

.es-time-slot-picker-time::before {
    content: "RSVP" !important;
    font-size: 16px;
}

Note: The confirmation email will still show the original time, as the email template cannot be edited. You can upvote the idea to make this editable on our Wishlist - Add an option to edit confirmation email sent to the customer


Please add it to the Custom CSS field on the Settings tab of your widget’s settings and let me know if it helped :slightly_smiling_face:

As for the email notifications, I’ve tested your widget, and everything seems to be working fine on our end. To make sure, I added my email address as a recipient, and the submission came through right away:

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue on your side:

  1. Double-check that your email address is entered correctly.

  2. Check your Spam folder. If any submissions are located there, mark them as “Not Spam.”

  3. Make sure that notifications@forms.elfsightmail.com is not blacklisted.

  4. Add another email address with a regular Gmail domain to the widget and check how it works.


Please follow these steps and let me know if it helped :wink:
