# Zoho Bookings

> Appointment scheduling with workspaces, workflows and Zoho CRM sync

Zoho Bookings is appointment scheduling software in which customers pick a slot on a booking page and the meeting lands on the host's synced calendar. Teams organize event types into workspaces for branches or departments, assign bookings by round robin and automate follow-up with workflows. A free plan covers one user, the paid plans are priced per user, and Zoho One subscribers get the Premium plan as part of that suite.

- **Workspaces:** Workspaces group event types by location or department. Basic is limited to one; Premium includes three, with more sold as add-ons.
- **Round robin and routing forms:** Both paid plans distribute appointments across users with a choice of four methods. Premium adds routing forms that send a customer to the right booking page.
- **Workflows:** Email notification workflows come with Basic. SMS workflows and custom workflows built with a script builder are part of Premium.
- **Payments:** Premium can charge for appointments at booking through providers that include Stripe, PayPal and Razorpay.
- **Zia setup and MCP server:** Zia, Zoho's AI, configures an account and can build a booking page from a company's web address. An MCP server lets outside AI assistants manage appointments.
