Hm, thanks, though it looks like you have to be signed in to Google to book an appointment. We do have GSuite here, so maybe, but I'd prefer not throw in that barrier. Also I don't think you can combine appointment slots from different calendars into a single publicly displayable grid, unless I'm missing something. That has been a really nice feature of youcanbook.me (and I guess LibCal does the same with MyScheduler). -Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Andreas Orphanides Sent: Thursday, October 26, 2017 12:18 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] appointment scheduline - wp-specific Google Calendar has a built in Appointments feature if you're using Google for Work or Google for Education (but not Plain Old Google). If you can embed a calendar in an iframe you could embed the resulting appointment slot view, or just link out to it if you'd rather not (or can't) iframe. Google Calendar appointments I think can do everything on your feature list.
