Add staff and set appointment hours

Appointments is marked Coming soon. Only Magpie administrators can access it.

Open Appointments → Staff. The first section lists every team member with a switch for whether they accept appointments. Switching someone on gives them the default weekday hours and adds them to any service with nobody assigned. Someone with future appointments stays on until those are completed or cancelled, and at least one person always stays on.

Each person accepting appointments then has a section of their own:

• Its title is the name customers see on the booking page. Click it to change it; clear it to use the account name again.
• Services names what customers can book with them. A person is bookable for a service only once they are chosen on that service; see Add and edit appointment services.
• One row per day of the week shows their hours. Click a day and type hours such as 9–5 or 8:30am–6pm, or Closed. Each day has one open range, in the time zone on Booking Page.

Magpie checks the person's Calendar events and confirmed appointments before showing a time. Private Calendar event details are not shown on the booking page. Anyone available shows each start time once; Magpie assigns the first eligible staff member who is free when the customer books.

For setup, see Set up Appointments. For a scheduling problem, Contact support.
