The Self-Book scheduler allows visitors to search for available times/dates on Reservations, Suggestions, open Appointments, or Group Signups on your calendar without having to display your entire calendar and contents. Visitors can pick an available day in your calendar and then see a list of available times on that day that they can book.

Customizing the "Self-Book" scheduler

If you want to change the settings of your "Self-Book" scheduler you'll first need to click on the "Customize" button in the blue bar above your calendar, click on the "Entry Settings & Self-Book" tab, and then click on the "Self-Book Scheduler" tab. Follow the steps in the image below:


Then you'll need to click on the blue "Customize the Self-Book scheduler" link after you've chosen a Self-Book template you want to turn into a scheduler. On that screen there are three tabs:

  • Template & Embedding - On this tab, you can switch which Self-Book template you want to use as your scheduler, as well as choose your iFrame dimensions and whether you want to add event durations or event intervals in your scheduler.
  • Colors - Choose custom colors for the event scheduler.
  • Custom Text - Add custom text and instructions that will show on your Self-Book scheduler, or you can add a custom title to the top of your scheduler.

To add custom event durations that your visitors can choose from, you'll need to click on the "Template & Embedding" tab. Any durations that you add have to be added in the total number of minutes and the menu will appear above the available booking times in the scheduler. Follow the steps in the image below:

Self-Book scheduler colors

You can also customize any of the colors on the Self-Book scheduler to match your website or branding. Follow the steps in the image below:

The combinations of colors you can use on your scheduler are endless. Plus, if you have embedded your Self-Book scheduler in your website and you decide to change any colors, these changes will be automatically reflected in your embedded scheduler. You don't have to re-copy the embed code and add it back to your website after making changes.
