Create a Concurrent Appointment

This use case explains how to build a concurrent appointment scheduling application using Salesforce Scheduler APIs.

Let’s think of a situation where you need to schedule multiple appointments within the same time slot. For example, a doctor’s office can let several patients book a Monday 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM appointment. So what can you do in this “case”?

Salesforce Scheduler can help you in this “case”. Let’s drill down on what all we need to accomplish this.

Salesforce Scheduler provides you with the concurrent scheduling feature that makes it easy to schedule multiple service appointments in the same time slot. An event is created for each service appointment.

A concurrent time slot can have a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 1000 appointments.

These steps provide a high-level overview of how you can build a concurrent scheduling app, which is explained in detail in the following sections.A representation of the create concurrent scheduling flow.

Before you can use the scheduler developer resources to build the concurrent scheduling app, set up Salesforce Scheduler for your organization. For more information, see Set Up Salesforce Scheduler.
