Calendars now support Custom appointment statuses. Businesses can name each stage of an appointment in their own words, such as Checked in, Awaiting documents or Ready for appointment, instead of being limited to six fixed statuses. Every custom status belongs to one of six states: Pending, Active, Completed, No show, Cancelled and Invalid. The state controls what happens to the time slot, connected calendars and notifications, so scheduling keeps working the way it does today.
