Beskrivelse

Tidybot is a WordPress plugin that integrates with Tidycal to provide scheduling and appointment booking functionality directly on your website. The plugin displays a customizable chat-like widget that allows your visitors to book appointments through your Tidycal calendar.

Key Features:

  • Easy integration with Tidycal
  • Customizable widget position (bottom-right or bottom-left)
