Auto booking enhancement

[treichold]

Good day,

Is it possible to add auto booking code which only requires you to add the code you receive via mobile when promted? Even after reacting immediatley to the notification an appointment is available, it took me ~30 seconds to get to the booking page but not dates are clickable, see image.

You need some kind of super human speed to pull this off.

Please let me know if this possible.

Kinf regards

I'm not sure that's possible.
Also, we are at the end of May, so the free appointment date is probably in June. Did you look for green markers in the next month?

[treichold]

@paulypeter yes I flicked through all months until December, there were no green markers anywhere.
I also thought it might be the browser playing up but both firefox and edge had the same issue.
I don't know how I can be any faster. It's more of a lottery than anything else it woukld appear... who is the quickest.

Yes you are correct the priorities will drop away from the 7th June. That will probably make things worse. I'm still in priority group 3 and on the waiting list for 2 weeks...

@treichold
Sadly, that's how it is. Maybe someone already was on the site by coincidence, getting to the free appointment before you.
I know how you feel, I've been waiting for a while as well. Maybe you'll have better luck outside of the weekend...

I just looked at the portal again. I really don't think it's possible to autofill the forms, or at least it's hard to reverse engineer due to the lack of free appointments...

@paulypeter
True true... maybe your right that during the week it might be better

I think it is in fact possible automate the booking. But i dont think i want that:

1. very hacky to implement and setup
2. ethic issues; currently the bot just gives you the "unfair" advantage to know when slots are free, with an automated booking process you wouldn't have a chance without the bot (would also be more a competition on the most aggressive refresh times)

[paulypeter]

Okay, I guess you're right, it might be possible. It would be hacky and error-prone though and I think it wouldn't work 100 % of the time.

I totally agree with 2. though. I wouldn't want to implement that.
