We made Availability a little bit better ✨
When creating new availability groups, you no longer need to specify a start and end time for your Availability. Never worry about session type lengths; select the start times you want your sessions to begin, and we will take care of the rest!
Session Follow Up Email
Want to send a follow-up email to your clients after a session to say thank you, include timelines for deliverables, ask for a review, or offer a coupon for their next session? We've got you!
Stop In-Progress Bookings
Once a client starts booking, we hold spots for 15 minutes; this gives them time to complete their booking without losing their spot. But we understand that sometimes you need to stop an in-progress booking, well now you can!
This feature is excellent when testing out your sessions; you no longer have to wait 15 minutes before sharing it with the world!
