It looks like it will help you with registration to an event you already created in Google Calendar. If that is what you are after, then it appears it is indeed doable. I've not done this myself.

well, was more looking to book appointments. ie. lead gen.

where the FF form then "prevents" people from booking the same appointment time.

Not a free solution, that I know of.

I built a booking system for my wife’s photography business using FF. However, it relies heavily on custom code and the FF API.  

It would have been way less headache to just pay for prebuilt services like Calendy or Acuity.  

But hey, that’s not who I am.

<p>Hi Walter, yes, I have done things the "hard way" as well 🙂 But curious, how simple would it be to ONLY need to make sure the same Appointment Spot, isn't booked twice? <br /><br />note: Calendly doesn't allow for tracking GCLIDs 🙁 so frustrating. How does a big company, who's been around for so long... Doesn't allow for something SOOOO fundamental????</p>
