Dear Community:
We submitted a feature request to Team Gravity Forms several years ago (again today) asking for an Appointment Booking Calendar addon or plugin for Gravity Forms. One developed by Team Gravity Forms, not a third-party addon or plugin.
Our team has tested most third-party plugins, and have learned they do not offer what true Gravity Forms users need. Our tests revealed the following:
- They are not fully compatible with Gravity Forms. Filters, custom code, and CSS have to be injected into the third-party plugins to make them work well.
- Many have not been updated for months, even years (e.g., gAppointments).
- They do not offer all of the features Gravity Forms users need (e.g., a time zone auto-detect or selector for visitors, an interface that matches or is close to Gravity Forms’, multiple appointment capabilities for a single booker, ability to book appointments with most popular calendars, ability to set up meetings online via popular platforms, etc.)
- They are not keeping up with WordPress, JS, and PHP library updates or revisions.
- Customer support is lacking (e.g., some plugins developed and supported by a single individual leading to untimely support).
- The backend UI is not user-friendly (e.g., complicated-looking, too many upsells, too many graphics and logos, too many API calls, etc.)
Base on the above, thought I’d take a simple poll within this community to help understand your related needs.
If you agree with the above, and would like Team Gravity Forms to release an Appointment Booking Calendar addon or plugin, all you have to do is “Like” this post (i.e., click the “heart”).
Thank you for reading and your support!
Jonathan
