Choose the appointment rules before adding a calendar link to the website. Keep the meeting separate from accepting a tax engagement or collecting taxpayer documents. The calendar should reserve only the appointment the practice has agreed to offer. ## Decide which meetings can be booked Have the practice owner approve new-client conversations, existing-client meetings, document appointments, or other actual meeting types. Identify which requests need staff review before a slot is offered. Record the meeting duration, location or call method, availability owner, and absence cover. Confirm whether the office wants separate schedules for different staff or services. Avoid offering a generic tax appointment when the office needs to distinguish the visitor's purpose. Use wording the receiving professional recognizes in the resulting calendar event. ## Check the proposed calendar's capabilities Google Calendar's appointment-schedule guide covers availability, duration, meeting method, and booking-form fields. It notes that some capabilities require an eligible subscription. [Google Calendar scheduling guidance, checked 2026.10.23](https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/10729749?hl=en). Use that as an example to verify against the actual account and tool. Do not promise that every listed option is available in the practice's subscription. Have the administrator identify who controls the schedule and what happens when that person leaves. Keep account access and website editing ownership in the handoff record. ## Write the booking specification Use this proposed worksheet before implementation. | Decision | Practice-approved input | | --- | --- | | Meeting type | Exact appointment the visitor can reserve | | Availability | Responsible calendar and accepted booking windows | | Location | Office, phone, or approved remote meeting route | | Visitor details | Minimum information needed to hold the appointment | | Confirmation | Meeting facts and approved next step | | Changes | Cancellation and rescheduling process | | Fallback | Contact route for visitors who cannot use the calendar | Keep the booking description limited to information intended for the visitor. Do not place private internal screening notes in public meeting titles or instructions. ## Collect only what the appointment needs Have the practice approve the fields and receiving system. Keep tax returns, identity records, account numbers, and detailed financial histories outside an introductory booking form. Explain the approved private document process separately. Do not use a calendar attachment field as a substitute for that process because it is convenient. If the office reviews a prospective client before engagement, state that boundary. A scheduled meeting should not promise return preparation, a particular tax outcome, or a filing deadline. ## Specify the confirmation and change paths Have the receiving staff approve the confirmation text, meeting location, time-zone display, and reminder wording. Check how a visitor reschedules or cancels. Keep a clear alternative contact route near the booking entry point. Ask the owner what happens if the calendar is unavailable or no suitable time appears. Avoid promising immediate availability from a screenshot. The live schedule and approved capacity rules control what can be offered. ## Accept the booking through a controlled test Arrange an internal test appointment with contact details you control and staff permission. Confirm the event appears on the intended calendar with the selected meeting type. Inspect the confirmation, cancellation, and rescheduling paths. Remove the test appointment through the agreed process. Keep real taxpayer records out of screenshots and receipts. Save the tested destinations, account owner, and expected behavior. Recheck the path after a calendar-provider or staff change. Bring that specification to the [bookkeeping and tax practice hub](/for/bookkeeping-and-tax-practices).
