Allow a User to Schedule Appointments

Callers in VanillaSoft can schedule an appointment for Contacts using a Result Code configured to set appointments. Result Codes can only be configured to set appointments if Appointment Setting is enabled. If Appointment Setting is already enabled, but no Result Codes are configured to schedule an appointment, follow the steps in the Create a Result Code to Schedule an Appointment article.
