Round robin scheduling allocates appointments among hosts based on availability and priorities, ensuring each host gets equal opportunities and preventing any single host from being overloaded.

That's it! Publish your form and share the link or embed it anywhere.

Managing Priority and Availability

Priority Settings

You can assign priority levels to participants to control the distribution of appointments. Higher priority members are more likely to receive bookings if multiple participants are available at the same time.

Automatic Assignment

Fillout’s round robin algorithm assigns appointments based on the last scheduled participant to ensure even distribution, provided all conditions of priority and availability are met.

Adjusting Locations and Meeting Details

Define one meeting location or set specific locations or meeting settings for each participant. Choose between Google Meet, Zoom, and more.
