Using the scheduling widget

The scheduling widget is set up on the web. Bookings clients make through it show up on your iOS Schedule and, when approval is needed, in your Action Inbox.

This article is for providers using the Oasys iOS application.

The scheduling widget lets clients book appointments directly from your website. On iOS, this is entirely a web feature — but widget bookings still flow into your iPhone.

⛔ Not in the iOS app. Setting up the widget (default service, allowed website URLs, theme, intake questions, embed code) all happens on the web app (Settings → Scheduling → Scheduling Widget). It's an add-on that may need to be enabled by support. There is no widget configuration anywhere on iOS.

What this means for the iOS app: bookings clients make through the widget are real appointments — they show up on your iOS Schedule, and if your policies require approval, they appear as appointment requests in your iOS Action Inbox for you to approve or decline.

Three of the rules the widget follows are editable on your phone. More → Scheduling Policies holds Require booking approval, Minimum notice period and Maximum advance booking, and each row says it applies to the app, the portal and your website widget. They stay on screen and editable even when Enable direct client booking is off, because that toggle covers the app and portal only.
