Scheduled an appointment for today?

Hi I am confused about some expressions of that I scheduled an appointment for today. 1) I have an appointment scheduled today 2) I had an appointment scheduled (for) today. 3) I have had an appointment scheduled (for) today. 4. I have had an appointment been scheduled (for) today. So what could be the properest way to make this expression? Are there any differences? Thank you
