Hello everyone
I am building a platform where barbers can upload their barbershop, and get to a lot of new clients. Wat I am stuck at is what is the most efficient way to let visitors make appointments with a barabershop? The barbershops are saved in a database, wich means i have dynamic pages for each barbershop with the information about that shop. Now how can i make a ‘form’ to make an appointment on that specific dynamic page for that specific barbershop?
I hope someone can help me out on this!
Create a new database called —> “Appointments”, where you will put in all the data you need…
Everytime when someone enters a dynamic page (barber), fills the form and submits, you automatically take the current selected ID of the barber and of course of the customer. Then you put all informations into your “Appointments”-Database.
Thanks!
The id is saved automatically right? I don’t have to make a field for that?
How can I let the correct barber know that someone placed an appointment on their barber shop/dynamic page?
Thanks a lot!

The answer you will find in your “Appointments-DATA”.
You can count the entries in your "Appointments-database for each barber.
Example:
Barber-1: —> got 3-Appointments=that means 3-entries with his ID in DATABASE
Barber-2:—> got 10-Appointments —> 10 entries with his ID in DATABSE
…and so on.
So you could make a loop trough your Appointment-DATA and count for each barber.
The id is saved automatically right?
You can get the id of the current user like this…
With this peace of code you can get informations of the current logged-in user.
import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
2
3// ...
4
5let user = wixUsers.currentUser;
6
7let userId = user.id; // "r5cme-6fem-485j-djre-4844c49"
8let isLoggedIn = user.loggedIn; // true
9
10user.getEmail()
11 .then( (email) => {
12 let userEmail = email; // "user@something.com"
13 } );
14
15user.getRoles()
16 .then( (roles) => {
17 let firstRole = roles[0];
18 let roleName = firstRole.name; // "Role Name"
19 let roleDescription = firstRole.description; // "Role Description"
20 } );
21
22user.getPricingPlans()
23 .then( (pricingPlans) => {
24 let firstPlan = pricingPlans[0];
25 let planName = firstPlan.name; // "Gold"
26 let startDate = firstPlan.startDate; // Wed Aug 29 2018 09:39:41 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
27 let expiryDate = firstPlan.expiryDate; // Thu Nov 29 2018 08:39:41 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
28 } );
@russian-dima Thanks a lot! But my first question was, when someone places an appointment on my barbershop, and my dynamic page. How can i let the ‘owner’ of barbershop, the dynamic page know someone placed an appointment on their dynamic page and their barbershop?
And the code you provided is to collect information about the person who submitted the appointment, but the information needed is already collectedin the form. So what is the point of using the code?
How can i let the ‘owner’ of barbershop, the dynamic page know someone placed an appointment on their dynamic page and their barbershop?
For example by collectiong all needed informations and sending a triggered e-Mail to the current barber.
Or generating an special “Showcase-site” where you show all the appointments of every barber (public or private).
There are many possibiliies. You could perhaps even send an SMS to let the barber know, that he has an appointment.
But how you will do it at the end, that is your own choice.
@russian-dima Thanks, how will i be able to trigger the email and send it to the correct barber? Code is probably used for this, but how does it work exactly? Is there any tutorial?
All you need you will find here…

You will also find other possibilities how to send notifications, for example here…

…you would surely find more examples on how to work with e-mail-send-processes 
@russian-dima Thanks! i kinda got it but not totally. Here’s my code:
mport wixUsers from 'wix-users';
import wixData from 'wix-data';
import wixCrm from 'wix-crm';
import wixWindow from 'wix-window';
$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#dynamicDataset").onReady(() => {
$w("#dataset1").onAfterSave( () => {
let email = 'email';
if(wixUsers.currentUser.loggedIn) {
const userId = wixUsers.currentUser.id;
wixUsers.emailUser('S6gaIKl', email, {
variables: {
fullName: $w("#input4").value,
uur: $w("#timePicker1").value,
klantemail: $w("#input5").value,
date: $w("#datePicker1").value,
info: $w("#textBox2").value,
naamZaak: $w("#input6").value,
}})
.then( () => {
wixWindow.openLightbox("bedankt");
} )
.catch( (err) => {
console.log(err)
$w("#text98").show
} );
}
});
});
});
Now what is want is i want to send the triggered email to the email item in my dynamicDataset. I can’t manage to get this right. I made the text bold where my problem is. The email item has to come from my dynamicdataset and not dataset 1, but my form is submitted into dataset1.
Thanks in advance.

@russian-dima Hi again.
I am sorry to bother you again but i need your help. I have 2 issues.
-
I still can’t find a way to send a triggered email to an email stored in the database item of that specific dynamic page. I only find articles on how to send triggered emails to members or contacts.
-
My second issue is a bit bigger. When a user submits the appointment form he/she has to put in a date and hour. Is there any way i can make it so the next user that fills out the form is unable to select the hours wich are already booked? And can the owner of the barbareshop from that dynamic page also disable certain hours?
I hope you understand 
looking forward to hear from you.
