CareCru booking widget - The CareCru Online Scheduling widget lives on the practice's website. This widget can be opened by clicking on the big call-to-action button that says "BOOK ONLINE" or "REQUEST APPOINTMENT"
2. "On load" of the website - It can also be opened "on load" of the website by adding ?cc=book to the website's URL. For example, if you click https://donnadental.ca/?cc=book, you will notice the widget loads and opens as soon as the webpage opens.
3. Third-party services such as Google, Facebook, Yelp, and Instagram - The above is useful for linking from 3rd party directories like Google My Business, Facebook, Yelp, etc. If these services have the ability to add a call-to-action like "Book Now", that button should link to CareCru's Online Scheduling widget using the link described above. (For example, if you click {websiteURL}/?cc=book)
4. Custom CTA button on your website - Now, if you want to open the widget upon clicking some existing call-to-action within your practice's website, then you will just need to add the following Javascript code to run when that event happens.
window.CareCru.open();
So if I have existing links or buttons on the website, and I want to eliminate a page refresh, I just have added that to the onclick event of that element. For example:
<button type="button" onclick="window.CareCru.open();">
Request Appointment
</button>
It is very important to ensure there are no conflicting calls to action for the patient. Consistency is key so they aren't confused about what they need to do.
