You can embed a professional booking page with your personal email being a Google Workspace Individual subscriber. [Edit] Google rolled out appointment scheduling to anyone with a personal Google account to create one booking page.
Why embed a professional booking page with Google Workspace Individual?
Professionals such as architects, physicians, consultants are often reluctant going through the technicalities about setting their own domain. By using Google Workspace Individual one can operate with their personal email and be flexible and efficient about:
- full control over their schedule 24/7 DIY
- focus on their professional to-do list
- additional costs while following up with privacy and security regulations since it is secured by default
- benefit from making themselves available via online appointments to everyone with an email
- avoid conflicts with other events on their calendar as far as the booking page automatically checks for conflicting events
- stay organized via appointment schedule’s email notifications
If you are like me and prefer to do the online tasks by yourself in the most effective way, embedding a booking page is what you would wish to do. And you can edit your appointment page any time 24/7! Therefore it’s the most comfortable solution for a dynamic schedule I know.
