# Appointments

{% hint style="warning" %}
**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**

For non-face-to-face work like report writing or billable communications. They do not send client notifications and are not shown in online bookings.
