Feature Request - Automatic redirect after scheduling an appointment #1523

Closed NightKing2k closed 1 year ago

NightKing2k commented 2 years ago

Is your proposal related to a problem?

I'm frustrated when I cannot redirect my website visitors after they book an appointment with me.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have a feature where the user can be redirected to a webpage of my choice after they finish booking a call/appointment.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Calendly is an alternative that I have used on a free trial to test it out.

Additional context

none

that's a very good feature request and I'd love to add this in the next release.

I think it could just be a textfield in the event-types and if, empty it'll use the pre-made success page.

All I wonder is, if it should redirect immediately or show a countdown: "We are redirecting you in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 seconds to mywebsite.com/thankyou

Yes, the text field in the event types is a great idea.

However, a countdown redirect will result in some users exiting the page. An automatic redirect will ensure that users don't bounce off the page. Most SaaS calendar apps are using an automatic redirect.

sounds good. i also think an automatic redirect is easier to implement
