How to book and invoice Activities
We’ve added a new type of appointment to our calendar feature and it's called
Activities. Activities are calendar events that
do not include communications to the client, but
are assigned to a client. This means that the event will be assigned to a client or group, but the client will not be informed of it, and will not receive a calendar invite. This allows services to track other activities that may be linked to a client and / or invoice a referrer for an activity.
Overview
- Add the Activity appointment type in the Calendar Settings>Appointment Types
- No set date/time, delivery mode, or room requirement
- Pre-set duration and rate, with checkbox to allow flexibility
- During booking: If the duration checkbox is not selected only the start time can be changed
- During booking: If the rate setting checkbox is not selected the fee will not be editable
- Book the Activity the calendar
- Use the 'in-line' calendar (not the 'Add New' button)
- Can be assigned to a client or group
- Select whether you would like the time in your diary to be marked as ‘Free’ or 'Busy' - would you like to allow client appointments or any other appointments to be booked over this time.
- Add the Activity Appointment Type to an invoice.
- View the Activity Appointment in a client's profile>Appointments
Things to Note
- Activities cannot be booked in the 'Add New' appointment booking modal, in the calendar - must use 'in-line' by clicking on a day and time in the calendar itself.
- Clients are not informed of activities when they are created, updated, or cancelled, and do not receive reminders for them
- Activities do not show up in the client portal, and activity types cannot be booked in Engage flows or the client portal booking flow
