How does your free account work?

Accepting a Tradify Connect Appointment 

You'll be sent an email from a Tradify user asking to accept or decline an appointment. When you click through, the first part of Tradify you will see is the Scheduler.

Your Scheduler will show appointments you have either been scheduled for or created yourself. 

Pending appointments that have been scheduled for you will appear as a white box with a coloured border. 

To action an appointment:

1. Select your appointment.
2. A modal will appear. You will see the appointment's details, alongside a few options.
3. Select Accept or Decline.

If you accept the appointment, the box within the scheduler will appear as a fully-coloured modal. If you decline the appointment, the appointment will disappear.

In both cases, the organiser will be notified of your response.

Creating a new appointment

To create a new appointment:

1. Head to your Scheduler.
2. Select your preferred date and time. This will create an appointment for you.
3. Add your connection by selecting the + button under Staff and Subcontractors. You can use their email address or they will show up in the drop-down menu. 
4. Enter any other relevant details to the appointment in the Notes section and select Save.

When you send out an invitation, your Connection will be notified via email.

Your appointments will vary in appearance based on their status:

• A white box with a coloured border means that an appointment is Pending.
• A fully-coloured box means that your Connection has accepted the appointment.
• A red box means that your Connection has declined the appointment.

You can also integrate your Google Calendar to your Tradify Connect account. To read more on how to do this, check out our article on Connecting and Using Google Calendar in Tradify Web. 

Using Connections on Tradify Connect

To add a Connection:

2. Select Add a Connection.
3. Enter in their email address.

The pending connection will receive an email invitation. When your invitation is accepted, you will be connected.
