What are recurring appointments?
Recurring appointments in Zoho Bookings help you to create meeting types that repeat on your preferred schedule. When clients book with you, they're automatically signed up for all future sessions.
Recurring appointments come in handy for business in health and wellness, education, personal care, fitness, and professional services. They help you easily manage repeated sessions, streamline staff schedules, coordinate availability, and offer a standout experience to clients.
Recurring appointment scheduling software to automate your schedule
One-on-one recurring appointments
When setting up a one-on-one meeting, you can have it recur daily, weekly, or monthly, and choose the total number of future occurrences. When clients schedule a meeting, you can choose to auto-assign staff members or let them select their preference.
Group recurring appointments
Create and set up a group booking to repeat either daily, weekly, or monthly. Choose a specific end date or set the number of times the meeting should occur.
Group bookings offer two different recurrence options:
Drop-in booking: The group booking repeats at your chosen interval, but clients only book the slots they want, not all sessions. This is ideal for workshops, classes, or events where clients can pick and choose.
Series booking: The group booking repeats at your chosen interval, and clients are automatically booked for all future sessions. This is ideal for workshops or classes where attendance at all sessions is mandatory.
Send automated calendar invites
When clients book a recurring appointment, individual calendar invites are automatically sent for each session from your connected calendar.
Manage appointments from your dashboard
Easily view and manage your recurring appointments from your calendar dashboard. Update appointment statuses, instantly join virtual meetings, and view client or payment-related information at a glance.
Send automated notifications
Keep clients in the loop by sending appointment notifications and reminders. Easily configure and send customized email, SMS, or WhatsApp notifications for each appointment trigger.
Configure appointment limits
Set up appointment limits to keep your schedule practical and predictable. Choose how many appointments you'd like to receive on a particular day for a recurring appointment type, or set the number of appointments a client can book with you.
