How to add Appointment Booking to a ButterCMS website

Embed Appointment Booking on ButterCMS

01

Create a Appointment Booking component for ButterCMS on Common Ninja

First, create a ButterCMS Appointment Booking component on Common Ninja. On the components catalog, find the Appointment Booking and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Appointment Booking component

When you're done creating the Appointment Booking component, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Appointment Booking Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Appointment Booking component to your ButterCMS website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the component embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your ButterCMS website.

04

Paste the code to your ButterCMS website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your ButterCMS website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the ButterCMS’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Appointment Booking Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Appointment Booking component on your ButterCMS website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Appointment Booking component on your ButterCMS component. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your ButterCMS website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Appointment Booking component to your ButterCMS website. You can do this by putting it straight into your ButterCMS website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use the Appointment Booking widget when you want visitors to schedule time with you directly instead of going back and forth over email or phone. An integrated booking experience lets users see available slots, select what works for them, and receive confirmations and reminders automatically. This is crucial for consultants, clinics, salons, agencies, and any service that depends on appointments. You reduce no shows, minimize scheduling conflicts, and free your team from manual calendar coordination. By hosting booking inside your site, you keep the journey cohesive and gain a clear, measurable funnel from interest to confirmed meeting.
