Scheduling use cases

Depending on how you want your clients to interact with the Scheduler, here's how you can set up your smart file.

Select services, schedule a session, and pay

Here's the use case:

I want my clients to pick what kind of session they'll have with me. When they pick what kind of session they want, I want them to schedule the session. When they schedule the session, I want them to pay to reserve that time.

Here's how to handle this use case in one smart file:

  • Services block: First, add a services block with an optional service selection of [Your session name]. Include instructions for clients to select this session from the services block if they want to schedule time with you.

  • Scheduler block: In the same smart file, add a scheduler block. Toggle Client must schedule session off and toggle Client must pay to reserve session on, which will automatically add an invoice to the smart file.

  • Invoice and pay block: If a client selects the session from the services block, it will pull into the invoice, where they can then pay for and reserve their session. No need to add a reference to the session in the invoice (that will happen automatically), but add any other services/goods you’ll be charging for.

  • Add any other blocks & pages to your smart file.


Schedule a session and pay

Here's the use case:

I want to require my clients to schedule a session with me. When they schedule the session, I want them to pay to reserve that time.

Here's how to handle this use case in one smart file:

  • Scheduler block: First, add a scheduler block. Toggle Client must schedule session on and toggle Client must pay to reserve session on, which will automatically add an invoice to the smart file.

  • Invoice and pay block: To make it clear to your clients that they’ll need to pay for the session, add a reference to it in the invoice (i.e., a $50 line item titled “Intro Call”).

  • Add any other blocks & pages to your smart file.


Only schedule a session

Here's the use case:

I want my clients to schedule a session with me. They will not need to pay to reserve that time.

Here's how to handle this use case in one smart file:

  • Scheduler block: Add a scheduler block. Toggle Client must schedule session off and toggle Client must pay to reserve session off.

  • Add any other blocks & pages to your smart file.


Answer questions and schedule a session

Here's the use case:

I want my clients to answer some questions I have before they schedule a session with me. Once they answer these questions, they can schedule a session with me. When they complete the file, the answers will be supplied to me and a session with the client will be scheduled.

Here's how to handle this use case in one smart file:

  • Questions block: First, add a question block. Include any questions you'd like clients to answer.

  • Scheduler block: In the same smart file, add a scheduler block. Customize the block as needed, depending on how you want your clients to interact with the Scheduler.

  • Add any other blocks & pages to your smart file.
