Our office has a meeting room that can be used by various parties … it would be ideal if there were a simple room reservation tool.

Hi there, @Gregor_Stauble :waving_hand:

I see that you’ve already found our Appointment Booking app and started working on its customization. Does it fully cover your use case?

Hi @Max
Unfortunately, the appointment booking system does not work as I would like it to. It would be better if:

  • you could select a free time slot
  • there was a calendar view showing free capacity or times that are already blocked
  • no overlapping appointments could be booked

To implement, you should connect your widget with the Google Calendar. Here is an article explaining how you can do this - Syncing Google Calendar with the Appointment Booking Widget - Elfsight Help Center

This way, the widget schedule will be synced with your Google Calendar, booked slots will disappear from the widget and users won’t be able to reserve the same slot twice. Please check it out and let me know if it helped :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ve already seen that, but it doesn’t show what I have in mind. It would be ideal if my coworker could see at a glance when the room is occupied. A calendar view with at least a weekly overview would be desirable. I hope you can implement this—that would be great!

Do you mean to show reserved slots as blocked rather than completely removed them from the widget?

Yes, exactly, that would be a good representation of the times when the room is reserved or available.

Got it, thanks!

I’ve added this idea to the Wishlist on your behalf, and we’ll try to think it over in the future updates :slightly_smiling_face: - Weekly calendar showing reserved slots as blocked
