Buffer Option Between Appointments

I have not been able to figure out how to build in automatic breaks in between sessions. I loved the feature in Simple Practice that allowed me to schedule an automatic 10-15min break in between appointments, so that clients could not schedule their own sessions back-to-back. Is there a way to do that? If not, I would love for you to work on that feature!

I like having 30 minutes between appointments, so having this feature and making the buffer time adjustable would be really helpful, especially with clients self-scheduling. At this point, I add the buffer to my calendar which is time-consuming.

Not having this feature makes integration of self-scheduling a little chaotic, particularly for someone with ADHD like myself. Would help immensely.

It is ideal to have at least 15 minutes buffer between appointments. I want clients to have the the option to schedule on the 30 minute time scale, but automatically have 15 minutes buffered in between sessions. so if I have an appointment from 12:30-1:30, they can't schedule at 1:30, they would have to schedule at the next available time of 2pm since 1:45 isn't an options. Like Acuity offers.

Calendly has this feature and its very helpful

I do not like seeing clients back-to-back, and would love a feature that would automatically add a buffer time between appointments so that clients can’t schedule an appointment immediately after another client’s appointment.

I need this feature as well... Especially for the Client portal.

Yes, please, this is essential to making client self-scheduling on the portal useful and worthwhile.

Could you give an option to automatically create breaks between sessions so clients can’t book back to back

Clients are able to set their own appointments but by including an option Allow anywhere between 5-30 minutes after each appointment that allows the option not to have back to back appointments and it can be a simple check box that is built into calendar preferences with a dropdown menu. For example, Allow time after each appointment? Yes or No. If yes, please select the increments 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60?

I would love to see an automatic buffer built in for those of us who would like it: instead of telling my Clients not to book sessions within half an hour of each other, my Calendar would automatically block that time before and after a booking so I could take notes/do yoga/prep for the next session/breathe - all that good stuff that equals work/life balance.

It would be nice to choose the interval that you prefer.

Ability to create individual appointment times instead of blocks of time. Some therapist like to schedule breaks between clients and block times make it more likely clients will be scheduled back to back.
