Before you startThis guide follows the supplied Britixo Appointments & Scheduling module version 1.3.6. The relevant access is Appointments: Approve. 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 you’ll accomplish

Apply a valid requested date and time after checking provider availability, reminders, calendar events and participant communication. It uses Britixo's permission-aware appointment, availability, status and integration flow rather than an unconnected diary entry.

How the module flow works

The approval action requires the module Approve permission and a pending reschedule request.

It updates appointment timing and request state after validation.

Calendar events, meeting details, reminders and notifications may require update through configured integrations.

Follow these steps

  1. Go to the appointment with the pending request.
  2. Check the proposed time, provider schedule and conflicts.
  3. Approve the request.
  4. Verify updated date, time, timezone and history.
  5. Verify notifications and remote calendar updates.

Fields and decisions to review

Proposed scheduleRequested replacement date and time.
Provider availabilityConflict and working-hour validation.
Reminder timingRecalculated operational reminder context.
Calendar eventRemote record that should match the approved time.

How to confirm it worked

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.
