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

Deliver the appointment's Google Meet link and schedule to intended participants without relying on Google's own email when that option is disabled. It uses Britixo's permission-aware appointment, availability, status and integration flow rather than an unconnected diary entry.

How the module flow works

Meeting information can be included in Britixo appointment notifications or Google event invitations.

A module setting can disable Google's native invitation email to avoid duplicate messages.

The stored join link must be available before Britixo templates can include it.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Create the appointment and Google Meet conference.
  2. Confirm the join link.
  3. Choose whether Google or Britixo sends participant email.
  4. Send or trigger the approved invitation.
  5. Verify the participant received one accurate invitation.

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

  • Avoid duplicate invitations from both systems.
  • Do not send the link to unauthorised recipients.
  • Update the invitation after a reschedule.
  • 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.
