A little preparation goes a long way

Help people arrive ready to talk.

An available time answers when. A short topic prompt and clear joining details answer what comes next. Keep this small: a useful question is easier to answer than a long intake form.

  • Ask for a topic

    The starter’s comment asks what the guest would like to discuss. A project question or chapter number can help you prepare. Ask people to leave sensitive details for the conversation.

  • Say how to join

    Include the room and building entrance, or configure your video-meeting details. Tell remote guests which timezone the displayed appointments use.

  • Protect your preparation time

    The starter is back-to-back. Adjust the real start and end fields when you need gaps, and check your other calendar before publishing available times.

Payments

Collect a fee for a paid appointment

For tutoring, coaching, or another paid session, set a price on each appointment. Use one fee per signup when the reservation covers a family, and leave any free appointments unpriced.

Available on Free and Organization. Complete Stripe setup with an eligible US account to collect payments in US dollars. Organizers pay Stripe processing fees plus Signup Bubble’s 1% fee, with a $0.25 minimum and a $0.75 maximum per checkout.

From an example to your event

Make this signup your own.

  1. 1

    Start with your available days

    Choose the first day and apply the starter schedule. You get 3:00, 3:20, and 3:40 PM appointments on that day and the next. Replace those times with your availability.

  2. 2

    Review the booking rules

    Each slot has capacity one and the starter allows one selection per signup. Public attendee names are hidden. Add a short topic comment so you can prepare.

  3. 3

    Make joining straightforward

    Add a room, general meeting place, or video-meeting instructions. Check the event timezone, especially if people will join remotely.

  4. 4

    Share and manage changes

    Publish your reviewed schedule. Guests can use their management link to change or cancel a signup. Check the sheet when your availability changes.

Beyond the signup list

A small plan for a smoother day.

Use these example notes to think through the work before, during, and after your event.

  1. Before opening

    Offer time you can keep

    Remove appointments that overlap your other commitments. This sheet does not check your personal calendar.

  2. Before each visit

    Read the topic

    A quick review of the guest’s question helps you spend the appointment on the conversation.

  3. When plans change

    Review the live schedule

    Check guest edits and cancellations, and communicate any organizer-led timing change clearly.

A little more help

The next question, answered.

Make a signup sheet with time slots

Work through duration, gaps, and capacity.

Video meeting links

Choose the joining instructions guests receive.

Guest edits and cancellations

Understand the guest management link.

A few practical questions

Before you share your signup

Will this prevent two people claiming the same appointment?
A slot with one place cannot accept two confirmed places beyond its capacity. This is capacity control on this event, not automatic conflict detection across calendars or other events.
Do guests need an account?
No. They select an available appointment and enter the requested signup details. The organizer needs an account to create and manage the event.
Can I offer different times each day?
Yes. Edit each slot's date, start time, and end time after applying the starter. Remove unwanted appointments and add others as needed.

A useful place to start

A clear time. A useful conversation.

Open an editable starter, review the details, and share one link when you are ready. Your guests can sign up without creating an account.
