Recurring Appointments

Appointments that repeat on a regular schedule, such as weekly sessions or monthly check-ins.

Definition

Recurring appointments are bookings set to repeat at specified intervals without requiring rebooking each time. Common patterns include weekly (same time every week), bi-weekly (every two weeks), monthly (same date each month), or custom schedules. Recurring bookings save time for ongoing services and ensure clients have standing appointments without the friction of rebooking.

Examples of Recurring Appointments

Weekly therapy sessions every Tuesday at 10am

Monthly coaching calls on the first Monday

Bi-weekly team meetings

Quarterly business reviews

Why Recurring Appointments Matters

For ongoing client relationships, manual rebooking creates friction and risks clients forgetting to reschedule. Recurring appointments lock in the relationship, ensure consistent revenue, and reduce administrative work. They also help clients build habits around regular sessions.
