From message to appointment

How we turn an inquiry into a confirmed booking

We lay out the journey once, clearly, then show the calendar types that fit — instead of repeating the chain in every section.

Calendar types

Every service needs a different way of booking

A one-to-one consultation isn't a group class, and booking a massage center isn't a meeting that needs several specialists present.

When an appointment involves more than one decision

In a massage center, a salon, or a clinic, "when suits you?" isn't enough. The service, its duration, who delivers it, and the available time all have to be organized — and the customer may pick more than one service in a single visit, depending on the setup.

  • Show services with their own images, durations, and prices.
  • Pick a specific staff member, or anyone available.
  • Organize more than one service within a single visit.
  • Show available times based on service duration and provider availability.
  • Confirm the booking, send reminders, and allow rescheduling.
