I'm Education Institute. and I have online course learn monday - friday for 1 month and I try to use Amelia to make booking for online live class. Can you suggest me how?
First, we should figure out what suits your business better: Appointments (aka Services) or Events.
In Amelia, Appointments are being defined by the Service's duration, while an event has a predefined time and date set up.
For example, if you configure your service so it lasts 1 hour, and assign an employee who works Mon - Fri from 09:00 - 17:00, that service's appointments will be available for booking on every hour, so:
09:00 - 10:00
10:00 - 11:00
And so on.
When you're configuring events, you're setting the time and the date when the event will take place.
Multiple employees can host the event, but only one employee can be assigned to a service at a time.
Also, the service is offered all the time (Mon - Fri at the same time, unless you configure your employee's working hours so he works only on specific days at specific times), while an event is held only on particular dates.
One more thing: Google Calendar integration works only with Services at the moment (in case you plan to use it).
We used Events and Service on our demo sites, so you can see how both options can be applied.
I guess it might be more suitable to use Events (since they have fixed time slots). You can set them as Recurring Events. And also, you can use Zoom integration for hosting your classes online.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
