常见问题:
Is Google Calendar synchronization included for free?
= Can I display multiple booking buttons on one page? =\
Yes! Each service has its own shortcode and popup — ideal for showcasing different services.
= Does it support timezone differences? =\
Yes. Choose to display time slots in the visitor’s local timezone or lock them to the admin’s.
= Can I customize the emails sent after booking? =\
Absolutely. You can fully customize both admin and user email templates using tags like {name}, {service}, {date}, and more.
Yes. You can automatically add bookings to Google Calendar and block time slots that are already busy in the connected calendar.
Does Creavi support Outlook Calendar?
Yes. Each service can connect to Outlook Calendar, automatically create booking events, and block busy Outlook time slots.
Are appointment reminder emails included for free?
Yes. Customer and admin reminders are included. You can choose how far in advance they are sent and set a specific delivery time for day-before reminders.
Can customer and admin reminders use different schedules?
Yes. Customer and admin reminders can be enabled independently and can use different reminder timings and email templates.
What happens if WordPress Cron runs late?
Creavi checks for overdue reminders and sends them on the next available cron run before the appointment. For delivery close to an exact time on a quiet website, configure your server to call wp-cron.php regularly.
Can reminders include the video meeting link?
Yes. Reminder templates support video link tags. Customers receive their personalized customer link, while admin reminders use the host-specific link.
What meeting types can I offer?
You can offer in-person appointments, phone calls, custom online meeting links, or secure video meetings generated by Creavi.
Can Google or Outlook events block unavailable booking times?
Yes. When calendar availability synchronization is enabled, busy events from the connected Google or Outlook calendar are removed from the available frontend time slots.
Does it work with Elementor and Gutenberg?
Yes. Use the shortcodes with Elementor or other page builders, or use the included Gutenberg booking blocks and layouts.
更新日志:
