Simply Schedule Appointments Booking Forms

Simply Schedule Appointments is a WordPress schedule plugin for creating a booking calendar. Appointment types and time slots can be selected and then included directly in your form.

Download and install

1. If you haven't already done so, install and activate Formidable Forms Pro.
2. Install and activate a premium version of Simply Schedule Appointments. This requires at least the Plus edition and will not work with the Basic (free) edition.

Standard field options

An Appointment field has the following standard options:

• Required
• CSS Layout Classes
• Default Value
• Visibility
• Label position
• Field Key
• Conditional logic

Field-specific options

Appointment Type

This field displays your Simply Schedule Appointments appointment types. You can choose to include either all or a specific appointment type.

Create an Appointment booking form

1. Go to your Appointments menu → Appointments Type and create a new appointment type.
2. Go to Formidable → Add New to create a new appointment booking form.
3. In the form builder, select the Appointment field to let people choose a time slot.
   
4. In the field settings, choose which appointment type people can book through this form.
5. Click the Update button to save your form.
6. When you view the form, users can now choose an appointment date and time slot.
   

Cancel Appointment booking

If you want to cancel an appointment created on your form, you would need to cancel this directly in the Simply Schedule Appointments plugin. Deleting the entry from the Formidable Entries page will not cancel the appointment.

To cancel an appointment, follow the steps below:

1. Go to your Appointments menu → Appointments.
2. View the Upcoming Appointments and click the Appointment you would like to cancel.
3. Click Cancel this Appointment.
   

Additional customizations

This code example can be added to a child theme's functions.php file or the Code Snippets plugin.

Copy the Appointments field value

If you want to copy the value selected in the Appointments field, use the following example. You can adjust the date to be 21 days after by handling it in a submission webhook. This example does this on page load.

add_action( 'init', 'test_ssa', 99 );

function get_display_value_from_ssa( $value ) {
   $field = FrmField::getOne( 82 );
   $type = new SsaFrmFieldAppointment( $field, 'ssa-appointment' );
   return $type->get_display_value( $value );
}

function get_ymd_format_from_ssa( $value ) {
   $field = FrmField::getOne( 82 );
   $type = new SsaFrmFieldAppointment( $field, 'ssa-appointment' );
   $fdygia_format = $type->get_display_value( $value );
   $timestamp = strtotime( $fdygia_format );
   return date( 'Y-m-d', $timestamp );
}

function test_ssa() {
   echo 'display value: ' . get_display_value_from_ssa( 2 );
   echo '<br>';
   $ymd_format = get_ymd_format_from_ssa( 2 );
   echo 'ymd: ' . $ymd_format;
   echo '<br>';
   echo '+21 days: ' . date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( $ymd_format . ' + 21 days' ) );
   echo '<br>';
   die();
}
