Why use it
Use it when the workflow can safely book a real next step.
02
In context
Picture this
A salon assistant finds a 60-minute colour appointment with the right stylist, then confirms it by text.
03
Build it
Set it up
- Connect only the calendar and service that belong to this workflow.
- Set the appointment type, duration, team member rules, and time zone.
- Ask for the details needed before booking.
- Build a fallback for no availability, cancellations, and booking failures.
04
Keep moving
What comes next
After this block, use a confirmation message, calendar reminder, pipeline update, or internal preparation task.
05
Choose carefully
Avoid this when…
Use Availability Check when you only need to show or test availability, not create the booking.
Before you publish or activate: verify the current builder labels in Votel and test with dummy data. This independent guide describes the purpose and a safe setup approach; it does not replace Votel’s current product documentation or compliance advice.
