Appointment booking integration with calendar systems

Purpose

1.1. Automate the transfer of confirmed gutter service appointments directly to digital calendars, synchronized across platforms for both customers and staff.
1.2. Automating the booking process reduces manual entry, mitigates double-booking, ensures real-time availability, sends automated reminders/updates, and provides an audit trail.
1.3. Automates post-quote scheduling to maximize conversion, prevent missed sales, and streamline professional gutter maintenance workflows.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Receipt of customer booking via online portal, form, or phone, with required details captured.
2.2. Quotation acceptance triggers automated booking and calendar synchronization.
2.3. Manual or automated callback confirmation can directly schedule or update the calendar.
2.4. Customer reschedules or cancels via self-service link — automation propagates to all platforms.
