Control when appointment recurrence stops automatically or continues until staff end it.

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

Control when appointment recurrence stops automatically or continues until staff end it. It uses Britixo's permission-aware appointment, availability, status and integration flow rather than an unconnected diary entry.

How the module flow works

Limited recurrence stores a maximum cycle count and tracks generated cycles.

Unlimited recurrence continues through cron until the recurring flag is stopped or another condition prevents generation.

Skipped unavailable occurrences and generated-cycle handling should be reviewed in module history.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Choose the recurrence frequency.
  2. Select limited or unlimited mode.
  3. For limited mode, enter the permitted cycles.
  4. Save.
  5. Monitor generated records and stop unlimited recurrence when no longer required.

Important fields and decisions

UnlimitedContinues without a fixed count.

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 use unlimited recurrence without ownership and review.
  • Stopping future generation does not remove existing children.
  • Check provider changes over long-running recurrence.
  • 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.
