Consulting and freelancers

Online appointment booking for consultants and freelancers

Make it easier to book meetings and sessions, without the back-and-forth messages.

For a consultant or freelancer, every 'when are you free?' email is time wasted. 4appointments gives you a booking page to send to clients. They see your free times, choose a session and send a booking request, which you confirm. You can import busy times from another calendar through an ICS link, so you do not offer times when you are already busy.

Why consultants pick 4appointments

A personal booking page
Share a single link, and the client chooses the session and a free time without messages going back and forth.
Busy times from another calendar
Subscribe to another calendar's ICS link and its busy events block those times. It is read roughly every 15 minutes, in one direction only.
Sessions with duration and price
Set each session type with its duration and price, and a buffer after each booking.
Notice rules for bookings
Set how far ahead clients may book, at the earliest and at the latest (by default 120 minutes and 60 days).

Questions from consultants and freelancers

Can I give clients just one booking link?

Yes. You get a personal booking page to share by email, in your signature or on social media, and clients book from your free times.

Does it connect to my calendar?

In part. You can subscribe to another calendar's ICS link to import busy times, and export your 4appointments calendar as an ICS link. There is no sync with Google Calendar or Outlook.

Can I charge for sessions?

No. Online payment is not available in the current plans, so payment is agreed with the client outside the tool.

Are bookings confirmed straight away?

No. Each request arrives as pending and holds the slot until you confirm it manually, which lets you accept only what suits you.

Tired of spending time lining up meetings?

Set up your session types and availability, then share your booking link. The first 12 months are free, with no card needed.
