Appointedd's first-of-its-kind timezone technology supports businesses in every timezone to take bookings from all of their customers, no matter where they are, and ensures that all parties have the details of the booking in their own timezone.
If your business functions in only one timezone, check out this support guide:
How your resources offer availability in their timezone
Your resources can set their working hours to repeat every week (Monday - Sunday) or as and when they know it.
For example, if you work in PST most days but from 27th -31st January you are in BST, you would set this in Appointedd by:
Normal working hours in PST
Add in exceptional working hours from 27th - 31st January in BST.
This would ensure that you're available in BST for those dates but this won't disrupt your normal working hours.
Additionally, this can be different for each one of your resources! So you can truly manage a global team from one system.
How your customer views your availability in their timezone
When your customer arrives on your booking tool, it can detect their timezone (check that you have auto detect selected in Booking tools > Customize your booking flow). So when the customer arrives at the availability step, the dates and times are offered in their timezone.
The dates and times offered always reflect the real-time availability of your resource(s) so your customer is offered your availability in their timezone.
How bookings are communicated to the customer
Appointedd removes any timezone mistakes by send sending emails about a booking to the business, the customer, and the resource in their own respective timezones.
For example, if the business is based in BST, the customer in EST and the resource in PST. A booking made by the customer at 12pm EST sends a confirmation to all parties. The time of the booking in the emails is as below:
Business 5pm BST
Customer 12pm EST
Resource 9am PST.
No more timezone math! 🎉
