We are getting back to our review of our favorite Google Apps add-ons. Last week, we were a little distracted, by the role big data and data mining played the election. A couple posts back we discussed our favorite add-ons for Google Mail – this week our focus is on the business apps found in Google Marketplace.
This app is great for anyone that sets up regularly scheduled appointments, such as accountants, hair stylists, professors or therapists. It provides you with a dedicated web page that allows your clients, students or colleagues to book appointments directly to your google calendar. They will be able to view which time slots are available and with a click of the mouse and a few short questions later – their appointment is booked. The event will appear in your calendar and you will also receive an email alert.
You control the aspects of your bookings: the start/end of your workday and the appointment length. You will be given the option of adding a logo to the top of your schedule as well as instructions. YouCanBook.me can also be embedded in your blog or on your website.
