Appointment Title Customization

What Does This Page Cover?

Learn how to customize your appointment title and have more control on how you label and organize your appointments, enhancing organization and productivity.

 

Availability

  • Super admins and admins can access this feature. Managers can view it, while staff cannot view the configured settings but can view the customized title in the calendar.

Overview

An appointment title provides a glimpse of the appointment, and having a customized title is more efficient as it gives a concise overview of the appointment without opening the summary. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who are managing multiple appointments, as dynamic titles can include participant and service names, aiding in quick identification and organization.

 

Appointment Title in Zoho Bookings

Zoho Bookings let you have a customized appointment title by including variables​​​​​ according to your preferences. This will be applied to the event title in calendar invites. It will also be used as titles of online meetings(Zoho Meeting, Google Meet, Zoom Meeting, Microsoft Teams, Zoho CRM Calendar), Zoho Assist sessions, and ICS files.

Steps to Customize Appointment Title

  1. Click Services on the Bookings menu bar.

  1. Select the required service from the left pane and click Service Preferences in the middle pane.

  1. Under the General section, you can see the Appointment Title Customization option. In the text box, add the required text.

  1. Click Insert Variable to the right of the text box to include variables in the title.

  1. Click Save.
