Booking time slot weighting feature

Open rightsaidfred99 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hello,

I was wondering if it were possible to add (I'm happy to sponsor this feature) whereby a weighting feature was added to time slots.

I work from home but need to travel to clients. So currently it can be a waste of a day when I have a booking in the morning say 9am. A customer then books 11am and then another at 3pm. Because I travel, this would mean a waste of time for my day as I have to drive everywhere and have gaps of 30 minutes to an hour in-between where I can't go back home then back to another client again.

I'd propose a feature that would look like this. (PS Clients send me ICS invites sometimes, so I treat "clashes" below as an existing booking on my Google Calendar.)

  • If there are NO clashes and or bookings for the day - client sees all time slot options available.
  • If there is an existing booking for the day and or an existing clash (ie booking on my google. calendar) - client can only see time slots within 1 or 2 hours of the confirmed appointments for the day both before and after. (The one or two hour could be predefined). The other slots can be user hidden.

This would eliminate clients booking random times so it's a little more controlled thus eliminating a badly organised day where there are appointments sporadically placed throughout the day.

If it's possible to sponsor this, let me know the details of how to do it.

Would requiring approval for appointments work for you?
