Round-robin scheduling for Swiss practices

If marketing sends prospects to one URL and any qualified partner can take the call, round-robin removes friction. Clients pick a time and the software assigns the next host in the rotation.

Collective bookings are the counterpart: every host must attend the same slot, for example a partner review or a multidisciplinary intake.

Round-robin only works with live calendar data: each person connects their Google or Microsoft calendar with two-way sync. Otherwise slots that are already taken get offered.

Roles come on top: who edits appointment types, who appears on the public booking page and who is notified about assignments.

Three modes are common: strict round-robin (everyone gets equal turns), load-based (whoever has fewer bookings goes first) and fixed pools (for example French-speaking consultants only).

Buffers between client meetings and a daily limit per person stop anyone from going back to back all day.

Each host keeps their own working hours. Round-robin rotates among the people who are free in the chosen slot; collective bookings use the overlap.

In Switzerland the canton matters too: Jeûne genevois applies in Geneva, Berchtoldstag in Bern. Zitli already blocks canton holidays per account today. For teams, this is planned per host.

Until team features are available, each person uses their own Zitli booking link with calendar sync, buffers and canton holidays. On your website, link to each person separately.

Round-robin, collective bookings and shared team pages are in the works. We will name a date once it is certain.
