Online appointment scheduling for your website
Add the PlusLink Plugin to your site so a client can book an open time. Helpline consultants book appointments directly into a center's calendar, and clients can book on the center's website.
What you need
The PlusLink Plugin requires three things: your center uses eKYROS, your center is registered with the PlusLink call center, and you have been issued an API Key and a Registration Key for each office location.
It is free to eKYROS customers. There are no third-party plugin fees.
What the plugin does
- Puts a booking form on the center’s own website.
- Draws availability from eKYROS, so there is one place to change hours.
- Bookings use the availability you set in eKYROS, and each one waits in your Scheduler for staff to accept.
- Puts the booking at the top of the eKYROS Scheduler as a pending appointment for staff to add.
How do clients book an appointment on a pregnancy center website?
The PlusLink Plugin is a web plugin a center adds to its own website so clients can book appointments online. The center must use eKYROS and be registered with the PlusLink call center, and is then issued an API Key identifying the call center and a Registration Key for each office location.
Timeslots, office hours, holiday hours, and locations are managed in eKYROS, so there is one place to change availability. Bookings use the availability you set in eKYROS, and each one waits in your Scheduler for staff to accept.
When a client books, the appointment shows at the top of the eKYROS Scheduler as a pending PlusLink appointment. Staff add it to the schedule in a click, so no one re-enters it. The plugin is free to eKYROS customers and requires no third-party plugin fees.
