Yes. Staff members can log in to Appointy and manage their own schedule, provided that Staff Login has been enabled for them by the business administrator.
Staff login can be enabled individually for each staff member. Only staff members who have been given login access can sign in and manage their schedule.
What can staff manage after logging in?
Depending on the permissions assigned to them, staff members can manage their own schedule, including:
- Viewing their appointments
- Creating bookings
- Blocking time
- Cancelling appointments
- Rescheduling appointments
- Managing their own availability
- Connecting their Google Calendar
- Connecting their Outlook Calendar
This allows each staff member to manage their own day-to-day schedule without needing the administrator to make every change for them.
Can staff block time on their own schedule?
Yes.
A staff member with login access can block time on their own schedule when they are unavailable.
This helps prevent customers from booking appointments during that blocked period.
Can staff create, cancel, or reschedule appointments?
Yes.
Staff members with the required access can manage appointments on their own schedule, including:
- Creating appointments
- Rescheduling appointments
- Cancelling appointments
- Blocking unavailable time
Their access is limited by the permissions configured for their staff account.
Can staff connect their own Google or Outlook Calendar?
Yes.
Eligible staff members can connect their own Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar to Appointy.
When calendar sync is connected, events created on the staff member's synced calendar can block their availability in Appointy.
For example, if a staff member creates a personal event in their connected Google Calendar during a specific time period, that time can be blocked in Appointy so customers cannot book them during the same period.
The calendar event affects the availability of the staff member whose calendar is connected.
Does a calendar event block availability for all staff?
No.
An event created on a staff member's connected Google or Outlook Calendar affects that staff member's availability.
It does not automatically block the schedules of other staff members.
How do I allow a staff member to log in?
Staff login is controlled individually.
The business administrator must enable login access for each staff member who should be able to sign in.
Only staff members with login access enabled can log in and manage their schedule.

Why enable Staff Login?
Enabling Staff Login is useful when you want staff members to manage their own schedules without giving them access to the main administrator account.
For example, staff can:
- Check upcoming appointments
- Add bookings
- Reschedule appointments
- Cancel appointments
- Block unavailable time
- Manage their own calendar sync
This gives staff more control over their own schedule while keeping the administrator account separate.
