Features · Booking approval

Nothing lands on your calendar without your say

Approval is an optional setting: it only works this way when you turn it on. Then every online booking waits for your yes. The slot is held meanwhile, but the guest knows it isn’t final yet.

Why it helps

You decide who you take on

Approval is not mandatory: it only works this way when you set it up, and you can decide per calendar whether you need it. If you do not want anyone to drop into your calendar at any time, because your work needs judgement, preparation or a quick chat first, you can switch it on. Then every online booking is created as pending and only becomes final after your yes. Booking approval gives control back to you, and the client can still request a time right away.

Nobody is left without an answer

A request getting lost in a phone message is really uncomfortable. With approval, as soon as a booking request comes in you are notified by email, and one click is enough to approve it. The client receives the final confirmation and knows they can count on you. Booking approval stays quick and transparent instead of dragging on for days.

The slot is yours meanwhile

The worry that someone else takes that time while you are still thinking is unnecessary. A booking waiting for approval holds the slot, so it cannot be booked again. If you say no, the client is notified and the slot is released. Booking approval is fair to the client and to you, and you can take your time to decide.

When to turn it on

Not everywhere is it worth it

Approval adds safety, but also friction. Worth turning on only where the risk is real.
