Before you beginThis guide follows the supplied Britixo Appointments & Scheduling module version 1.3.6. The relevant access is Appointments: View. A menu, button, provider, time slot or client action can remain hidden when the signed-in user lacks the required permission, the module setting is disabled, the related record is in an ineligible state, or availability validation rejects the request.

What this feature does

Manage the Britixo email templates used for appointment approval, cancellation, reminders, updates, feedback and other participant communications. It uses Britixo's permission-aware appointment, availability, status and integration flow rather than an unconnected diary entry.

How the module flow works

The module registers appointment-specific email templates with the CRM template system.

Each trigger selects a template and supplies appointment merge fields before sending through the configured CRM mail service.

Template activation, recipient data and trigger settings all determine whether a message is sent.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Open Email Templates and locate the Appointments group.
  2. Open each enabled template and review subject/body.
  3. Insert only supported merge fields.
  4. Send a test using a non-production appointment.
  5. Confirm delivery and formatting on desktop and mobile.

Active stateAllows or blocks sending for that template.

What happens after completion

After this workflow completes, Britixo keeps the appointment and its supported relationships connected. Reopen the appointment and verify the saved status, date, timezone, customer or lead, service, provider, attendees, reminder state, calendar or meeting reference, invoice reference and history that apply to this feature. External email, SMS, Google, Microsoft or payment outcomes must be checked separately from the Britixo database save.

  • Open the saved appointment and confirm the final status and source.
  • Check the participant, provider, timing and timezone from the full detail page.
  • Review the relevant table filter, calendar, history, report or linked invoice instead of relying only on a success message.

Controls, checks and common mistakes

  • Do not invent unsupported merge fields.
  • Keep Britixo branding consistent in every template.
  • A successful appointment action does not prove mail delivery.
  • Use the least destructive correction and retain the appointment history when the booking existed operationally.
  • Never bypass a permission, availability, approval, client-access or verification control by changing an unrelated route or setting.
Scheduling and data safetyAppointment changes can notify customers, reserve provider time, update remote calendars, create meeting links or invoices and alter reports. Confirm the exact record, timezone, status and recipients before saving.
