Google Calendar appointment schedules on a Kotisivukamu site
In Google Calendar you can create an appointment schedule with a booking page where customers book a free slot straight from your calendar. It suits a business that already uses Google Calendar and needs a simple way to book meetings, for example a photographer, a coach or an accounting firm.

How it works on Kotisivukamu
We recommend adding the Google Calendar booking page to the site as a button. The booking page has its own public link, and the button, for example Book a time, opens it in a new tab. The booking page can also be embedded on the site, but the experience is usually better when the customer books directly on Google’s own page. The booking is saved straight into your Google Calendar, and the customer gets a confirmation from Google.
If you have more than one appointment schedule, for example a short call and a longer meeting, it is worth giving each its own button.
An accounting firm or a photographer who books first meetings from their own calendar can offer a Book a meeting button on the site. Before asking, it is worth deciding the meeting length, the bookable times and whether the meeting is in person or remote. The same details are worth writing next to the button, so the customer knows what they are booking.
Step by step
- Create an appointment schedule in Google Calendar and set the available hours and the length of the meeting.
- Open the schedule’s sharing options and copy the booking page link.
- Open the link in a private browser window and make sure it shows without signing in.
- Give the link to Kamu and say where the button should appear. Check the preview and publish.

Google Calendar appointment schedules: frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid Google account?
Basic use is possible with an ordinary Google account, but some features, such as several booking pages or payments, are limited to paid plans. Check the current situation on Google’s own pages.
Can customers see my other calendar entries?
No. The booking page shows only free slots. Which times show as taken depends on your calendars, but the content of your entries is not shown to the customer.
