Avoiding Duplicate User Accounts

When you enter a new appointment through the admin area and provide an email address that already exists in the database, a corresponding warning message will appear. You will then have the option to assign the appointment to the existing user.

Blocking Appointment Times Depending on Reservation Reason

Previously, you could only block appointment times for calendars. Now, it is also possible to block appointment times depending on the selected reservation reason. This allows customers to be shown individual reservation times after selecting the reservation reason.

Custom Settings for "Proven Expert"

If you are using "Proven Expert", you can now automatically send an email to your users after the appointment. The email contains a link to the questionnaire on "Proven Expert". We have enhanced the module so that you can now set up individual questionnaires for each of your calendars.

Current Day Highlighted in Month View

When users view the daily agenda or expand the month selection in the weekly view, the current day is now highlighted in color.

Holding Short-Term Appointments

A new feature allows you to withhold appointments for short-term bookings. You can set up the calendar, for example, to have a lead time of two weeks. Consequently, the customer can only book an appointment at least two weeks in advance.

With a second setting, you can now specify that the current day should also be available. This allows for short-term appointments to be booked as well.

Two-Factor Authentication

You can secure the administration area with two-factor authentication by requiring an additional authentication code upon login. You can use two-factor authentication together with "Google Authenticator" or a similar app.

Booking Various Times for One Event

When creating an event, you can set a duration and time grid. This way, you can create an event with multiple start times. Once a time slot is booked, it becomes unavailable.

Mailingwork Integration

With Mailingwork, you now have the option to automatically add every customer to the mailing list upon registration.

Faster Loading Times

Our developers have worked under the hood and managed to shave off a few milliseconds from the loading times.

Access Control

You can specify which areas of the administration area employees, both collectively and individually, are allowed to access.

Minimum Password Length

To enhance security, you can enforce a minimum password length for your users when selecting their passwords.

Text Deletion

Email and other texts can now be deleted to streamline the management of texts and make it more organized.

API Client

For integrating with the Appointmind interface, there is now a PHP client library available.

Payment Functionality

Customers can be prompted to pay for their appointment either before or after booking. Payment methods available include credit card, PayPal, immediate bank transfer (Sofortüberweisung), and direct debit. Payment service providers Stripe and Digistore24 are available options.

Interface

The interface now offers the possibility of Single Sign-On (SSO) from external systems. This involves negotiating a token in the background, which is then used to authenticate the user.

User Behavior

To precisely track the behavior of calendar users, the selected day in the day and mobile views is now also saved, in addition to existing situations.

Selecting Multiple Appointment Reasons

Customers can now select more than one appointment reason and the software blocks the total duration in the calendar.

Passing Data to Thanks Page

After finishing the booking process, the customer can be redirected to a thanks page that has the booking data attached to the URL. This gives you the opportunity address the customer by name or personalize the page in other ways.
