Appointment Booking: POST request payload glossary

The payload is separated in two parts: appointment data and prospect data (client).

Please note that while many of these fields are optional, prospect data is much more useful the more you collect. Consider performing client side validation and requiring at minimum the people fields (first name, last name, email, phone).

In addition, the employee group decides which appointment tour types are enabled and which ones are not and what platform of choices are available. See employee group documentation.

NOTE: You should only pass one of three community/building/unit, otherwise you will get a validation error.

Appointment Booking: POST response success example payload

After the data is successfully submitted, you will receive a 200 success response with data similar to the following.

{
   "data":{
      "appointment":{
         "id": 952,
         "confirmation_enabled":true,
         "start":"2019-06-21T09:00:00+00:00",
         "location":"",
         "expiration_date":"2019-06-17T12:53:05.799365"
      }
   }
}

Appointment Booking: POST response error payload examples

If an appointment time is no longer available, a 400 error response will be returned. These errors will be in an array of strings.

{
   "errors":{
      "appointment":{
         "start": ["No Employees free at Scheduled Appointment time"]
      }
   }
}

If any of the prospect fields fail validation, a 400 error response will be returned. These errors will be in an array of strings.

{
   "errors":{
      "client":{
         "pets": ["'dogs' is not a number"],
         "laundry": ["'in unit' is not a number"]
      }
   }
}

Example Appointment Booking Flow

Screen 1: User selects a preferred tour type, available date, and time

In order for the user to select a preferred tour type, you’ll first need to retrieve the available tour types. Keep in mind there are a few conditions that determine when what tour type is available. See our end-point for available tour types for more info.

Allow the user to choose a date, and then retrieve the available appointment times for that date and allow them to choose one.

Screen 2: Appointment Form

After user chooses a specific timeslot, the form is assembled using the configuration.

Screen 3 Success: Optional Confirmation Screen

User fills out the form and submits.

After booking is confirmed, a 200 response is returned. Since this group in particular has appointment confirmations turned on, show the confirmation screen.

Screen 3 Error: Timeslot Not Available

It is possible that in the time between when the user selects an available time and they complete the booking form, the time they selected has gotten booked. Please account for this error, and give them the ability to select a new time.

Prospect Appointments

Appointment Times - Deprecated

DEPRECATED This end-point is no longer supported, it has been replaced by the availability times end point above, which provides a more flexible way to retrieve times available for appointments.

GET /api/v2/appointments/group/<group_id>/times

This endpoint returns two different payloads depending on the presence of the time query parameter.

Without time, this endpoint returns all possible appointment times today regardless of actual agent availability (see example payload below). In other words, this array of times represents the group’s office hours. Please note that the array is an array of times not datetimes (since these times represent the present day)

If time is passed in (an ISO format datetime such as 2019-06-13T08:00), this endpoint returns only timeslots where at least one agent is available to give a tour. Please note that the array is an array of datetimes in ISO format (since the request could be for a day other than the present day)

Required URI Parameters

Optional Query Parameters

Note that in addition to the 200 status code, the success responses also have a valid: true item in the payload.
