Tip: Use buffers when staff need preparation or clean-up time between appointments.

Confirm the details

Choose whether to send a confirmation and reminder, then select Create booking.

Important: Check the customer’s mobile number and email address first, so confirmations and reminders reach them.

Troubleshooting

If a time is unavailable, check the staff member’s working hours, breaks, room availability and any existing bookings.
