How-to
Review and approve a booking request
Review a request under Pending Bookings, approve it, and find the approved appointment on the Bookings calendar.
Before you begin
Use these steps for a request that needs manual approval. When a client or student completes the public booking page and selects Book Appointment, the request appears under Pending Bookings.
Open Pending Bookings
- Open Bookings.
- Select Pending.
- Use Search by name or email if you need to narrow the list.
- Read the name, date, time, and service on the request card.
The request card includes Decline and Approve.
Approve the request
- Select Approve.
- The request leaves Pending Bookings, and Booking approved appears.
- Close the booking list and open the requested date on the calendar.
The approved count increases, and the booking appears on the calendar.
If the request is missing
- Check Pending and clear Search by name or email.
- Check that the public page was submitted through Book Appointment.
- Review the request mode under Online Booking in Settings.
- Look at Approved in case the request was already approved.
Privacy: Booking requests can contain names, email addresses, phone numbers, appointment details, and notes. Do not share an unredacted request or calendar screenshot.
