GENERAL QUESTIONS WE GET:
What is a "Team" ?
Teams are a group of people who can take appointments on one or more calendars. Some examples of teams might be the Onboarding Team, Sales Team, Nutrition Team, etc. To setup your teams, go to Settings > Teams.
How do I Set team member availability?
Every team member has their own availability and option to sync with their own person google calendars. Have your team members login to Grow to update their personal availability and connect with their personal calendars to prevent double booking. When they login, they will go to Settings > My Profile.
How do Appointments trigger Workflows?
You have your calendars ready to start booking appointments but chances are, you'll need to setup some notifications and reminders and other common Workflows. Here are the default PushPress Grow Workflows for appointments:
Appointment Reminder — sends an immediate confirmation and reminder email/sms to both the contact and the user assigned to the appointment as well as a reminder 1 hour before the appointment.
Appointment No Show — sends follow up when an appointment status is set to "No Show"
Appointment Showed (No Sign Up) — If an appointment is marked as "Showed", this Workflow will update your contact. The Workflow will wait 72 minutes to see if the contact purchases a plan. If not, the workflow will send automated messages.
