Repeat Appointment

Written by Amelia
Updated this week

Repeat appointments allow you to schedule recurring visits for clients automatically, saving time and avoiding the need to manually create each appointment.

You can create a series of appointments based on:

  • Repeat Rules (recurring schedule)

  • Selected Dates (bulk appointment creation)

Types of Repeat Appointments

Repeat on Rules (Recurring Series)

This option creates a true repeat series based on a schedule rule.

You can configure:

  • Frequency – Repeat every X days, weeks, or months

  • Repeat on – Select the preferred day of the week
    ​(Example: Every 4 weeks on Monday)

  • Ends – Choose:

    • After a certain number of occurrences

    • On a specific end date

πŸ’‘ A repeat series can include up to 100 appointments.

Repeat on Selected Days (Bulk Appointments)

This option allows you to create appointments on specific dates.

You simply select the exact dates from the calendar.

πŸ’‘ These appointments are not part of a repeat series.
They are created as individual appointments.

Preview & Resolve Scheduling Conflicts

Before creating the repeat series, MoeGo allows you to preview the appointments and resolve conflicts.

If conflicts occur, you can resolve them in two ways.


Optimize with Smart Scheduling

Smart Scheduling can automatically adjust appointments to resolve conflicts.

It considers:

  • Existing appointments

  • Calendar blocks

  • Staff working hours

  • Buffer time

  • Driving time and distance (for mobile grooming)

  • Client preferences

You can configure:

  • Closest available date within a range of 0–7 days before or after

  • Preferred days of the week

  • Preferred time of day

Example:

If an appointment is scheduled for March 17 and the range is Β±2 days, Smart Scheduling will search between March 15–19.

πŸ’‘ Smart Scheduling optimization is only available when using Repeat on Rules.

Edit Appointments Manually

  • Date
