How do I create a booking calendar (bookable) that people or my AI agent can book on?

A bookable is how people book things in Votel. You build it once and it can be shared as a booking link, embedded as a widget on a website, or used by an AI agent as a tool.

1. Go to Calendars, click Bookables, then click Add a bookable.
2. Choose what you are booking (for example a meeting, an appointment, a class or a rental) and pick the widget style.
3. Give it a title and set the duration, for example a roof inspection that takes sixty minutes. You can offer several durations or options, such as quarter day, half day and full day for a rental.
4. Set the staff member (the business owner or their employees), the time zone, and capacity if more than one person can book the same slot.
5. Set whether it is a free or paid booking. You can add prices and packages.
6. Set the location, for example in person, or a video call with the built-in meeting platform.
7. Customize the intake form. Name, email and phone are there by default. Add more fields by picking a built-in field (for example Billing Street or Mailing Street) or by adding a custom field (for example how old the roof is in years).
8. Set notifications. Meeting reminders are built in, for example 24 hours before and one hour before, by email and SMS.
9. Set booking rules, such as a minimum notice (two hours, or 24 hours for something like an inspection) and blocked dates for holidays.
10. Save.

Availability comes from the staff member's schedule on the calendar's Staff tab. Once saved, you can share the booking link, put the bookable on a website as a widget, or let an AI agent book on it. To give an AI agent the calendar, go to the agent's Tools and Integrations, click Create tool, add a Bookable, select your calendar, and tag the tool in the agent's instructions with the @ symbol.
