The Update Appointment Status workflow action allows users to change the status of an appointment. If a contact was added to the workflow via an appointment-related trigger such as Appointment or Customer Book Appointment, the status of that appointment will be updated. However, if a contact is added through another method, the status of the most recent appointment they scheduled will be updated instead.
To begin, add an appropriate trigger to the workflow, select the “+” button, then search and select the “Update Appointment Status” action.
