FAQs
How far ahead does 'First Available Appointment' search for open slots?
It searches from the current date across the next 8 months.
What happens if my next open slot is more than 8 months out?
The feature won't auto-forward customers to it. This can happen if you've blocked off extended time away or set your scheduling window far into the future. Once that date falls within the 8-month range, it'll show up as expected.
Can I use 'Skip the Staff' and 'First Available Appointment' together?
Yes, but heads up: running both at once can cause severe latency (long loading times) on your Booking Page. If you notice it slowing down after turning both on, deactivate one of the two
