No account needed. * **Embed anywhere** — Gutenberg block, `[availo]` shortcode (inline or popup button), or auto-generated booking pages at `/schedule/{host}/{event}/`. * **Bookings dashboard** — filterable admin list of all bookings with one-click cancellation. Availo stores all data in your own WordPress database. No external services, no accounts, no tracking. ## Screenshots [⌊Booking widget — invitees pick a day and time in their own time zone⌉⌊Booking widget — invitees pick a day and time in their own time zone⌉[ Booking widget — invitees pick a day and time in their own time zone [⌊Booking form with your custom questions⌉⌊Booking form with your custom questions⌉[ Booking form with your custom questions [⌊Thank-you screen — per event, show a custom message or redirect to any page⌉⌊Thank- you screen — per event, show a custom message or redirect to any page⌉[ Thank-you screen — per event, show a custom message or redirect to any page [⌊Bookings dashboard with status and event filters⌉⌊Bookings dashboard with status and event filters⌉[ Bookings dashboard with status and event filters [⌊Booking detail — everything the invitee submitted, in one place⌉⌊Booking detail— everything the invitee submitted, in one place⌉[ Booking detail — everything the invitee submitted, in one place [⌊Availability editor — weekly hours and date overrides per host⌉⌊Availability editor— weekly hours and date overrides per host⌉[ Availability editor — weekly hours and date overrides per host [⌊Event type scheduling settings — duration, buffers, notice, booking window⌉⌊Event type scheduling settings — duration, buffers, notice, booking window⌉[ Event type scheduling settings — duration, buffers, notice, booking window [⌊After-booking options — thank-you message, redirect, and confirmation email editor⌉⌊ After-booking options — thank-you message, redirect, and confirmation email editor⌉[ After-booking options — thank-you message, redirect, and confirmation email editor ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Availo Booking ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/availo`, or install through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to **Availo Availability** to set your working hours. 4. Create your first event type under **Availo Event Types**. 5. Share the booking link, or embed the booking block/shortcode on any page. ## FAQ ### Does it detect the visitor’s time zone? Yes. Slots are displayed in the invitee’s local time zone (detected from the browser), with a manual override selector. ### Can invitees cancel or reschedule? Yes. Every confirmation email includes a secure manage link where the invitee can cancel or pick a new time. ### Does it prevent double bookings? Yes. Slot availability is re-validated inside a per-host lock at the moment of booking, so two invitees can never win the same slot. ### Will my data be removed if I uninstall? Only if you explicitly enable “Delete all data on uninstall” in Settings. By default your bookings are kept. ### Does it work with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Bricks, and other page builders? Yes. Use the `[availo event="your-event"]` shortcode in any builder’s shortcode/ text/code element, or the Availo block in the block editor. The widget also mounts inside content a builder injects dynamically (popups, tabs, accordions), and its styles are isolated from theme and builder CSS. Developers can trigger a manual re-scan with `window.Availo.scan()`. ### Does it work with block themes and classic themes? Yes. The booking pages at `/schedule/{host}/{event}/` render inside your active theme — block themes (e.g. Twenty Twenty-Five) and classic themes are both supported, and the widget works with pretty or plain permalinks. ### Can I customize the thank-you screen or redirect after booking? Per event type you can edit the thank-you message, fully customize the confirmation email (subject and body with merge tags), or redirect invitees to any URL right after booking. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Availo” is open source software.

works with classic themes, block themes, and page builders (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Bricks). * Email confirmations with .ics calendar invites, reminder emails, custom per-event confirmation emails with merge tags, and invitee self-service cancel & reschedule. * Custom booking questions, per-event thank-you message or redirect. * Bookings dashboard, month calendar view, booking detail view, manual bookings, and CSV export. * “Availo Host” role for teams, plus GDPR export and erase tools. #### 0.7.0 * Dev: manual admin bookings now run the `availo_booking_data` filter (source “ admin”), so add-ons like conferencing integrations apply to them too. #### 0.6.0 * Improvement: everywhere a booking’s host is shown or notified (emails, calendar invites, bookings list, detail view, CSV export), the booking’s assigned host is used — supports team/round-robin add-ons where the assigned host differs from the event owner. * Dev: the `availo_available_slots` filter now receives the range, timezone, and reference time, enabling multi-host availability extensions. #### 0.5.0 * New: full support for pending bookings (approval workflows) — a “request received” email without a premature calendar invite, the real confirmation with .ics on approval, pending in the bookings list and filters, invitee cancel/reschedule of pending requests, and a “Request received” screen in the booking widget. * Dev: new extension points for add-ons — `availo_booking_data` filter (modify a booking before insert), `availo_booking_row_actions` filter (add admin list actions), `availo_booking_approved` action (sends the confirmation email). #### 0.4.0 * New: booking calendar — a month view of all bookings in wp-admin, color-coded by event type. * New: manual bookings — create a booking for an invitee from the admin, with an optional availability override and optional confirmation email. * New: CSV export of bookings (respects the current status/event filters) including custom question answers. * New: “Availo Host” role — team members can manage their own event types, availability, and bookings without seeing other hosts’ data or the rest of wp-admin. * Improvement: all plugin screens now use dedicated capabilities instead of requiring administrator access. #### 0.3.0 * New: reminder email to the invitee before the meeting (configurable hours in Settings, 0 disables; scheduled per booking, cleared on cancel/reschedule). * New: GDPR integration — bookings and question answers appear in WordPress’s Export Personal Data tool, and Erase Personal Data anonymizes the invitee (name, email, answers, manage token) while keeping the slot history intact. * New: full translation template (`languages/availo.pot`) and block editor script translations. * Fix: browser timezone aliases (e.g. “Asia/Calcutta”, reported by Chrome for Indian visitors) are now accepted instead of silently falling back to site time. * Fix: time-slot buttons no longer get squashed when a day has many slots; the times list scrolls instead. * Fix: the widget keeps a sane maximum width inside full-width theme and page-builder containers. * Dev: `.distignore` so tests and docs never ship in the distribution zip. #### 0.2.0 * New: booking detail view in the admin showing everything the invitee submitted. * New: per-event thank-you message and fully editable confirmation email (subject + body with merge tags, including a manage-booking link). * New: per-event choice between showing a thank-you message or redirecting to a URL after booking. * Compatibility: widgets now mount inside content injected by page builders (Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, Bricks) after page load; added `window.Availo.scan()`. * Compatibility: widget CSS is isolated against theme/builder button and input styles; added fallbacks for older browsers (color-mix, inset, aspect-ratio). * Compatibility: booking REST calls now work with plain permalinks; booking pages send correct 200 status and a meaningful page title. * Fix: booking widget no longer sends a nonce that could expire on cached pages and block bookings with a 403. * Fix: a submit error no longer clears everything the invitee typed. * Fix: popup embed restores page scroll and Escape/backdrop handling reliably; a drag ending on the backdrop no longer closes an in-progress booking. * Fix: failed cancellations now show an error instead of failing silently. * Fix: time slots follow the timezone actually used by the server; month navigation is timezone-accurate around month boundaries. #### 0.1.0 * Initial release: event types, availability schedules with overrides, timezone- aware slot engine, booking widget (block, shortcode, booking pages), email notifications with ICS attachments, invitee cancel/reschedule, bookings dashboard. ## Meta * Version **1.0.0** * Last updated **15 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.2 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.1** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [appointments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/appointments/)[booking](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/booking/) [calendar](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/calendar/)[meetings](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/meetings/) [scheduling](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/scheduling/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/availo/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
