This helps avoid editing each service schedule individually.

You can select only the staff members you want to update before saving the changes.

How to Update Business Hours for a Newly Added Staff Member

If you add a new staff member, you can copy an existing staff member's business hours instead of creating the schedule again from scratch.

For example, if a new staff member named Paula should follow the same schedule as an existing staff member named Rhea, you can use Rhea's schedule as the starting point and apply it to Paula.

How to copy existing business hours to a new staff member

1. Log in to your Appointy admin account.
2. Go to Settings → Business Hours.
3. Find the existing staff member whose schedule you want to copy.
4. Hover over one of that staff member's schedule blocks and click the pencil/edit icon.

For example, if you want Paula to use Rhea's schedule, edit one of Rhea's existing schedule blocks.

5. In the Update Schedule window, click the service name shown at the bottom.
6. In the Select Service window, choose the services for which the schedule should be applied.
7. Click Done.
8. Click + Repeat for other staff.
9. Deselect the original staff member if you do not want to modify their schedule.
10. Select the newly added staff member.
11. Click Done.

  Does copying business hours change the original staff member's schedule?

  Not if you deselect the original staff member before applying the schedule.

  For example, when copying Rhea's hours to Paula, deselect Rhea under + Repeat for other staff and select Paula. This applies the schedule to Paula without changing Rhea's existing availability.

  
  What should I check after updating business hours?

  After saving your changes, verify that:
   

• The correct working days are selected
• Start and end times are correct
• The schedule is applied to the correct services
• The correct staff members are selected

• The expected appointment slots appear on the client booking interface

  This is especially important when applying one schedule to multiple services or staff members.
