Rules for which vets can be booked for what
If you have several vets, you can write short rules in plain language under the integration’s settings. For example:Surgery only with vet Hansen. Vaccinations and general check-ups with anyone. Exotic pets with Peter.The agent follows these rules together with the current list of vets when picking a time. Leave the field empty if any vet can be booked for anything.

Agent: I have an opening on Thursday at 09:00 with Peter. Does that work? Customer: Perfect. Agent: Lassie is booked in for a vaccination on Thursday at 09:00. Anything else I can help with?All of this happens live in Vettigo, while the customer is on the line.
