Appointments: Can I create a recurring personal event from the app?

[bradymiguel]

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: Recurring personal event

I can't find a way to create a recurring personal event in the appointments app, although I can schedule recurring appointments. We block out or Saturdays using a personal event because we take walk-ins only at my salon on Saturdays. This way our hours on our booking site show we're open, but also doesn't allow people to book time. I would like to set a personal event to occur every Saturday until the end of time, as well as personal events for stylists who are only scheduled to take walk-ins/overflow.

Hey @bradymiguel! I'm sorry for the confusion, you're right: there isn't a way to create a recurring personal event from the Appointments app - yet.

But you can do this from the Calendar on your online Appointments Dashboard:

1. Navigate to the Calendar online and click anywhere select a block of time. Or, click Create Appointment. 
2. Click Personal Event at the top of the screen. (It's another tab, next to 'Appointment').
3. Add the details of your personal event and check the box next to 'Repeat' to enter the start and end dates, and select how frequently you want this event to occur.
4. Click Save in the upper right to save your changes.

I do see how it would be useful to be able to create recurring personal events from the Appointments app and I'll share your request with the Appointments team!

OMG. That was so easy. Thank you so much! I just never access the calendar through the dashboard. Thanks!!!

If I want to block off a whole month / week with a personal event for my online booking how do I do that?

Hey @Spaw4paws!

I went ahead and merged your thread with this existing one! I recommend taking a look at Helens answer on how to setup a recurring personal event from your Square Dashboard. 🙂

Hi @Saxonp4! Welcome to the Community.

I moved your post to a more relevant thread that exists in the Community around making a recurring appointment.
