Offer appointment time slots

3 min read·Updated July 2026

For 1:1 services you don’t plan each session, you publish the hours you’re available and Zenly turns them into bookable slots. A nutritionist who consults hourly from 9:00 to 18:00 sets that up once; clients pick from whatever is still open.

Set up your hours

1
Pick the 1:1 service. Its duration is the slot length, so a 60 minute consult means hourly slots.
2
Choose Weekly · time slots, the days you work and your windows, say 9:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 18:00.
3
Save. Zenly fills each window with back-to-back slots of the service’s duration, every week, and clients book them from the portal.

Slot lengths that fit evenly into an hour (15, 20, 30, 60 minutes) or span whole hours (120, 180) repeat cleanly week after week; the form checks this for you.

What clients see

Only open slots. The moment a slot is booked it disappears from everyone else’s view, and if that booking is cancelled the slot comes straight back. Windows, one-off changes and cancelled days work exactly like classes; see Create a recurring class.

No double bookings

Booking a slot reserves the professional (and the room, when one is assigned) for that time, across everything else they do. If your nutritionist also teaches a Tuesday class, the slots that clash simply never show. There is no calendar to cross-check, the conflict can’t happen.

Good to know
A 1:1 slot is a class with one seat, so cancellations, no-shows and credits follow the same rules; see Handling cancellations and no-shows.
