A booking calendar inside any floating message
Visitors see a month grid of free slots, pick one, fill in their name + email, and walk away with a confirmation email and an .ics calendar invite. You see every booking in your dashboard.
Why teams pick this
Live availability calendar
Visitor picks from a real-time slot list. Already-booked slots disappear instantly, so two visitors can't claim the same time.
.ics + provider deep links
Confirmation emails attach a universal .ics file plus one-click "Add to Google / Outlook / Office 365" buttons. Works on every device.
Owner-defined hours
Per-weekday open/close, slot length (15–120 min), buffer between meetings, lead time, and how far ahead visitors can book.
Email + webhook on every booking
Get notified the moment a slot is booked. Forward to your CRM via webhook, or sync the .ics with your scheduling stack.
How it works
Add a Book Appointment message
From Dashboard → Messages → New, pick the Book Appointment template.
Set your hours and slot length
Choose weekly hours per day, slot length, buffer, lead time, and timezone. Add custom fields like "What would you like to discuss?" if you need extras beyond name + email.
Embed and book
Add the FloatMessage script to your site (or include the message on a landing page). Visitors book themselves; you watch the calendar fill up in Dashboard → Appointments.

Frequently asked questions
How are double-bookings prevented?
The server validates the slot is still free at submit time, with a race-resolver that hands the win to the oldest write if two visitors race. The losing visitor gets a 409 and the calendar refreshes.
Whose timezone do visitors see?
Their own. Slots are stored in UTC; the embed displays each in the visitor's local timezone using the browser's Intl APIs. Owners see bookings in the timezone they configured per message.
Does the visitor have to install anything to add the event to their calendar?
No. The success view offers a one-click .ics download (universal) plus deep links to Google Calendar, Outlook, and Office 365. The confirmation email also has the .ics attached.
Can I block specific dates without changing my weekly schedule?
Yes. Per-date overrides let you mark holidays, conferences, or one-off blackouts without touching your recurring weekly hours.
Where do bookings show up?
Dashboard → Appointments shows a month-grid calendar with daily booking counts. Click any day for the detailed list — visitor name, email, time, notes, and any custom fields. From there you can copy emails, open mailto: links, or cancel a booking (which frees the slot).
