Appointment scheduling - richer features
The new appointment scheduling is a great addition to the Proton Suite! However I agree with some other suggestions here that there are a few features lacking at the time of launch.
Here are a some things I find missing that would be great additions, that I haven't already found suggestions for:
Larger selection of appointment duration (e.g 15 min, 20 min, 40 min, etc), or custom input
More choices on "How far in advance can someone book?", or custom input
Ability to customise the content of the confirmation email would be great
Have the subject of the confirmation email be the name of the appointment they booked:
Let's say my booking page is called "Consultation", the subject of the confirmation email should be "Invitation for Consultation starting on [date] at [time]" instead of "an event"
Here are the other suggestions I've found interesting that you might want to vote on (hope I'm allowed to link them like this) :

I love the appointment scheduler (thanks, devs!) and agree with these feature requests.
A simple addition that could be helpful now while other features are developed, in two parts:
1. When a requester goes to request a time slot, have a free text box to enter appointment details that would then populate the "Notes" field of the appointment.
2. Give the calendar owner the ability to customize helper text displayed above the text box to specify to the requester what kind of info to put there.The feature I really could benefit from is the ability for the user to specify a meeting location.
- The requester could enter free text, which could be either the written out location or a meeting link.
- Provide a check box that, if checked by the requester, sets the location as Proton Meet and generates a meeting link. -

I love this.
Especially custom input for appointment duration. The requester knows in many cases better, how long a meeting should be. They should just be able to request for a free slot, however long.
I want to use the feature for example for friends to request hanging out with me, and that might be 4 hours on a Tuesday evening - on site, not just for an online meeting.
So maybe this feature should not only focus on a online meetings but meetings/meetups in general, and these can be any duration.
