Depending on the industry, scheduling takes on many forms:

  • Via email “do you have time…”
  • Via email (available slots)
  • Via self service website
  • Via website form then phone booking
  • Via phone
  • On-site post appointment
  • Via multichannel bookings
  • Via class bookings (regular)
  • Via group bookings (min number)
  • Triaged by other staff members
  • Via scheduler (individual)
