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.
