Recurring Appointment
Appointments that repeat on a regular schedule, such as weekly, biweekly, or monthly meetings.
Definition
Recurring appointments (or repeating bookings) are scheduled events that automatically repeat at defined intervals. Instead of booking each session separately, clients book once and the system creates a series of future appointments. Common patterns include weekly (same day/time each week), biweekly (every other week), and monthly. Recurring appointments streamline scheduling for ongoing relationships like therapy, coaching, or regular check-ins.
Examples of Recurring Appointment
Weekly therapy sessions every Tuesday at 10am
Biweekly team syncs every other Friday
Monthly strategy calls on the first Monday
Twice-weekly personal training sessions
Why Recurring Appointment Matters
For ongoing services, rebooking each session is tedious for both parties. Recurring appointments lock in the schedule, ensure consistency, and reduce administrative overhead. Clients appreciate the convenience; providers appreciate the predictable schedule.
