**Before you begin: Appointments vs Activities**

**Appointments (services)**

Client facing bookings (in person or telehealth). They appear on the calendar, can send client notifications, and show in online bookings (if enabled).

**Activities**

Non-face-to-face work (for example, report writing or billable communication). They do not send client notifications and are not shown in online bookings.
