Sanctumel Appointments

Eleven messages to find a time. And the meeting never happened.

The pastor opens their availability once. It appears straight away on the church page in Community and on its public page, the one found through a search engine. The person picks their moment, the request arrives in the agenda.

A slot is opened ONCE, in the Suite. Both public doors open with it, and every request comes back to the same place.

Meetings per slot
1 person
A three-hour window split into thirty-minute meetings frees several moments in a row. A recurring slot repeats every week without being recreated.

The slots, the two public booking surfaces, the statuses and the three answers all exist as shown. The people and dates are examples.

The room next door

Someone is waiting to be seen. They should not have sent three messages to get a time.

Availability

"When are you free?" "And you?"

A request for a meeting always starts the same way: a message on Tuesday, an answer on Thursday, a counter-proposal on Saturday. After eleven messages the person gives up, or the pastor writes an appointment in a notebook nobody else can see.

Recurring or one-off
Availability every Tuesday is declared once and repeats. The one-off slot stays for exceptions, on a specific day.
The length splits the window
Three hours with thirty-minute meetings free several moments in a row. The step is fifteen minutes, so the reality of a conversation fits inside.
And how many people
One for a private conversation, more if you receive a couple or a group at the same moment.

The doors

Opened once, bookable everywhere

Most booking tools give you a link to share. You then have to remember to update it, paste it back on the page, resend it to whoever lost it. Here, availability is not a link: it is a state of your agenda, and all your pages read it.

In Community
On your church page, those already following you book without leaving the app where they read you.
On your public page
Your church's address, served in its language and indexed by search engines. Someone looking for a church nearby can ask for a meeting without knowing anyone, and without an account.
One single chain
Wherever it comes from, the request arrives in the same place: your agenda. You are not watching two inboxes.
The agenda

Three answers, and nothing left hanging

The real risk, once the request is in, is that it stays unanswered: you read it on a Sunday between two things, you tell yourself you will reply that evening, and it disappears under the next ones.

A counter, not an inbox
Pending requests are grouped and counted, right in the page header. What has not been handled shows without being looked for.
Confirm, question, decline
Three gestures, a message if you want one. On confirming you can still adjust the date: useful when the requested time does not quite work but a nearby slot does.
And the exchange stays attached
Pending, Question, Confirmed, Declined, Completed: every request keeps its state and its thread, findable by name, email, phone or subject.

What Appointments does, and what we will not do.

A pastoral agenda is not a commercial one. The difference comes down to three refusals.

What Appointments does
  • Recurring and one-off slots, with length in fifteen-minute steps and the number of people per moment
  • Booking from Community AND from your indexed public page, with no account for the person
  • The agenda with its statuses, its pending counter, its search, and the three possible answers
  • Adjusting the date at the moment of confirming, and the exchange thread kept with the request
What we will not do
  • Confirm on your behalf: no booking validates itself, a pastoral conversation is not a restaurant table
  • Publish your diary: we never show what else you are doing, only the moments you have opened
  • Charge for a consultation: this module takes no payment, and will not

Open a slot for Tuesday.

One window, one length, and it is live on both sides within the minute. The next person who wants to talk to you will not have to ask when you are free.
