         Exports an appointment as a deterministic json encoded string.
 
         This method ensures that multiple invocations with the same data yield the same value. This is the format used
         to store appointments in the database.
 
-        Args:
-            triggered (:mod:`bool`): Whether the dispute has been triggered or not. When an appointment passes from the

-                Instead, the appointment is stored in the DB flagged as ``triggered``. This aims to ease handling block
-                reorgs in the future.
