Ziggy, 
 

In order to do that, must I also use the integration with Squarespace and Google Works ... or can I use my company's existing Google Drive? 

Thanks!

You can use your existing Google Drive account.

Member areas would work for what you want to do. Here is the overview page about them. https://www.squarespace.com/ecommerce/membership-sites

I would love to hear if you use Scheduling in an unconventional way. I use it for business and personal, but the personal is what is a bit different. My husband has CTE which mimics Alzheimer's at times (especially when he's sick or stressed), and he is starting to have short-term memory issues. We are all in with Apple devices, and I have all the calendars shared with him. He gets frustrated when trying to check the calendars since I have so many and often will just not look and leaves me double-booked. I fixed it with Scheduling this past week, and I don't know why I didn't think about it before.

I created a private booking link for him, and instead of checking all the calendars, he just looks to see if whatever day and time he's needing works. He knows that if it lets him book it, then he's good to go. Instead of putting his name in (since he's the only one with the link), he puts in the name of the appointment and his email, so he gets a reminder. That's all he has to do, and I handle the rest. He's used it twice today and was super happy it was so easy. (The reason I didn't do a custom form was to cut down on the steps needed to book).

For example, we have the lawn guy coming on the 13th, so when he was booking that, he said okay, Monday the 13th has spots. Then he checked the time of 8 am and saw it was available. Once he picks that, he puts Lawn Guy as the first and last name and confirms it.

I just thought that I would share my unconventional use and see if anyone else did things differently.

I'm at my wit's end here!

Trying to figure out if it's possible for someone booking a free gallery visit that is open only three days a week to be able to include others or will they need to re-book for each individual visitor?

 

With best wishes and many thanks in advance, Susanne

Looks like you figured it out with a drop-down. 

@chloewoodnis You can use a custom form to accomplish what you're looking for more than likely.

I'm having the same issue. Followed all the instructions and nada on the backend or the live site.

This is probably not helpful, but it's not just Squarespace. I've run into it on a few other sites on Wix as well as a customer and a designer.

Just starting. I have no idea of SEO stuff. I would like feedback on my site and possible suggestions on improving seo

This help article has some good information on it.

@inside_the_square has a new video out too that's awesome. 

As far as I know there aren't any at the moment. I wish there was. I wouldn't have to use the Son for my books.

@sayreambrosio I am using a WhatsApp Business chat plug-in from Elfsight Apps. I then customized the colours to match my brand as well as added custom wording and my memoji from Apple.

Thank you 🙂 I'll have to check it out. Love the site by the way. Coffee Addict/Snob here.

@Ziggy Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. I made some UI tweaks and will probably keep working on it, as I would love to add minutes and stages, with instructions to the timers, but this made it look so much better, so thank you again. I really do appreciate it.

Can I ask what chat service you are using? The branding on it is great!

How can I make appointments last one full hour instead of 59 minutes?

You should be able to just double click and highlight the 59 and then change it by typing it in. Is that not working?

@sayreambrosio Were you able to make your Notion page full width on your website with or without an iframe? When I load my Embed Notion code snippet into either an embed or code block, the page doesn’t fill the block—let alone the full page—even if I change the the iframe dimensions in the code. Any ideas?

Here’s the page I’m working with: https://fandemoniumdesign.com/what-the-fandom

You can adjust it by playing around with the code height and width. I think the width is around 1400px from what I remember.

Hi there!

I'm having trouble with the EMAIL CAMPAIGN... It should be so simple. I'm just trying to format the text the way I would like it to look but I'm inexplicable and intermittently having trouble with these HUGE LINE spaces... (please see attached video...)

 

Any ideas? Thank you!

🙂

 

 

Try Shift + Enter to start a new line if the spacing gets wonky.

They say that the data is stored for 180 days.

This is all a little concerning - Google Workspace Support refers me back to Wix, and Wix is an automated chat function.

I've already paid for my Squarespace package but this is definitely a concern, I have 7-8 active emails and tonnes of data on them.

I have been on Wix, but haven't had their email service but if it's similar to other reseller agreements, you should be okay. I know that in the past when I have moved from Squarespace hosted to Google hosted it was a matter of cancelling and then setting up billing with Google directly. I didn't lose anything in the process and there were no interruptions.

HOWEVER, that is just my experience in general. Wix does offer a call back. When you are in your help chat in your dashboard type in CALL BACK until you get a popup that asks what you need to chat about and then pick Mailboxes and follow the prompts. You should be able to either request a callback or schedule a callback.

They are understaffed and if the call center doesn't have people in your language available the request callback feature won't appear. If that happens just try again later and it should pop up. 

Data is retained on Google Workspace servers for 180 days according to Google's policy. You would need to set up billing directly with Google or another retailer before that 180 days expired.

Thanks for this suggestion. Do you have an example of either solution? Both seem pretty complex and it would be great to see what the end result would look like and its usability before trying to create one. 

Do you have any other possible solutions? There seems to be lots of plugins for WordPress but I can't find much for Squarespace

I don't have a PDF library type example, but this might give you an idea. It's for Airtable and a book tracker database, which could easily be converted for PDF storage. You can do the exact same thing in Notion.

https://www.airtable.com/universe/expvxkNSuZIwcAAle/book-tracker-database?explore=true

If you are familiar with Google (which most are) you could build out a library with Google Drive, Sheets, et cetera and maybe link to a button that takes them to a searchable database.

If I manually import an email contact will they be automatically started into the automation campaign for that mailing list? 

Contacts that are imported do not go through the automations. I just chatted with support about this last night.

Here is the help article about automations. https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002077567-Sending-automated-campaigns?platform=v6&websiteId=63cbb50a382a9f16d0617b89#toc-why-aren-t-my-automations-sending-

Thank you! That what I figured but Im wondering why they worked when they were first added.  The link to the 'Services' section on the site is still working and that uses a section id  

It may be worth it to redo them all so you are familiar with how they are set up. If you want to try it, this may help.

Hi, may I ask how can I make the upload area style like yours instead of a simple button? thanks in advance!

The link was actually pointing to my secondary site on a different platform. I was in the middle of a revamp. You can achieve the same type of look by creating a Google form and embedding it onto a Squarespace page. You can also use something like Airtable and embed the form to get a whole form look.

Ah, you're on 7.0. That might be the issue. The code I shared was for 7.1

I don't have any idea about the code, but is that a plugin mega menu or did you code it?

Hi, when I post the link of my page 'Events' for example in Telegram, instead of 'Events' there always appears 'Service 3'. How can this be and how can I change this? For all other pages it works as it should.. Glad about your help!

Click the gear icon next to your events page and go down to SEO and delete the Service 3 from there and that will take care of it.

Gotcha. That is so weird that it worked for me on my end and is giving you issues. Keep us posted on what you figure out.

Hmm. Still does not seem to be working for me... Very strange!

Have you tried a cache clear or private window?

@Cloovercam Ignore that last comment about the section. I just checked it on my laptop and it's working as expected I think.

There's one spot where it hung up when clicking a button but that was my connection I think.
