Phoenix is the web-based portal Converge International uses for managing your diary, clients and appointments. As the portal is web-based, there’s no application required to use it, just your existing web-browser.
As a consultant, after the 1st appointment has been booked for your client you will manage all rebooking's and appointment management via the Phoenix portal.
Below is a table of contents for this guide. It’s recommended you view each section in order or you can jump to a particular section by clicking a link below.

Quick View
The Quick View page is the default page when you login. If you need to get back to it, you can click “Quick View” from the left menu. It’s recommended that you complete all your work for rebooking, completing (commencing) and marking sessions as no-show / cancellation from this page.
Quick View is split into three sections:
Appointments Not Started
Which contains all upcoming appointments and appointments which have not been started yet
Appointments in Progress
Contains all appointments which have been commenced but not completed / closed
Appointments Recently Completed
Contains all appointments recently been completed, cancelled or marked as no show
Your appointments will be placed in one of the three above mentioned sections, depending on the status of the appointment. On the right side of the appointment in all three sections is the blue “Rebook” button which lets you quickly rebook the client.
Urgent Phone (UP) appointments and your schedules
As you have agreed with Converge to undertake Urgent Phone (UP) appointments, this indicates short-notice availability for new appointments which may prioritise you for these types of appointment bookings - the hours you have agreed to for UP will complement any existing ad-hoc schedule you have with Converge.
It’s important you understand the two types of schedules you have with Converge:
Urgent Phone availability; which is your open schedule
And your overflow availability, which is your ad-hoc schedule
As part of this agreement, you must rebook existing clients and new clients into your “Open” schedule using the guide mentioned in the “Quick View guides” section of this knowledge base article ( Rebook an existing client (Open Calendar)).
If your “Open” schedule is over-capacity, you can book clients into your “Ad-hoc” schedule using this guide Rebook an existing client - Associates (Ad hoc). As mentioned, you should only rebook clients into your Ad-hoc schedule when your Open schedule is over-capacity. Converge is able to monitor these schedules and may provide feedback to you if you are not adhering to this rule.

Billing and invoicing
How we process payments for completed sessions
When you complete an appointment (by clicking commence and completing the appointment) it indicates to the system that you have completed work for that appointment, allowing us to then proceed with including that appointment in your end of month reconciliation. We reconcile your account and email you a remittance summary of this on the last day of each month based on your completed appointments.
Completing an appointment
Invoicing Converge
Converge do not accept invoices to process payments, we also do not accept requests to complete appointments on your behalf.
You will need to complete appointments you have conducted. We recommend you commence and complete appointments either between sessions, at the end of the day or at the end of the week when you have admin time. It takes approximately 1-3 minutes per appointment to mark it as commenced and to then complete it. By completing the appointment it indicates you have completed that work and we include it with your end of month remittance.
Payment timeline
As mentioned above, Converge International requires you to complete the appointment before the end of the month - any completed appointments will be included with your end of month remittance notice. After you receive your remittance notice, the payment due is held for 14 days for disputes that need to be rectified (such as payment issues, amount due issues etc.). After this 14 day dispute period, your payment is then released to your nominated bank account. This means it can take between 2-3 weeks for payment to reach you after receiving the remittance notice email.
My calendar and your availability
My Calendar
To view and manage all of your upcoming and completed appointments, use Quick View. You can alternatively view a visual calendar which is accessible from the left menu “My Calendar”.

Clicking on an appointment takes you to our “Classic” view of our system. When you click the appointment you’ll see detailed appointment information which may be helpful. When you need to action the appointment (mark as commence, rebook, no-show, cancellation, extra sessions etc) please return to Quick View and proceed with your desired action from there.
