Bookings

Publish your availability, let customers book themselves in, and send the reminders that stop no-shows. The assistant can take the booking mid-conversation instead of sending people to a separate page.

Salons, clinics, trades, tutors, studios - anyone whose day is a calendar and whose phone rings during it.

What it does

Builds on Contacts.

Booked from the chat

A customer asking about availability can be booked in the same conversation, without being sent to another site.

Your real availability

Opening hours, breaks, service durations and buffer time, so the slots you offer are slots you can actually work.

Cancel without phoning you

The confirmation email carries a private link, so a customer who cannot make it cancels themselves and frees the slot instead of simply not turning up.

Questions

Does it send reminders before the appointment?

Not yet. Reminders need scheduled sending, which arrives with the next release. Bookings today confirms by email at the time of booking.

Will it sync with my calendar?

Not in this release. Two-way Google Calendar sync is a per-tenant authorisation project of its own, and we would rather ship a diary that is correct than a sync that is nearly right.

Can I take a deposit at booking time?

Not yet. Taking money into your account needs a payment setup we have not built, and half of it would be worse than none. Bookings v1 confirms the time; you take payment however you do today.
