What you see when you open a notification
The notification details screen gathers everything known about the event in one place: what happened, the appointment fields, the status of the record or request, and the buttons that take you straight into the app. The notification is marked as read the moment you open it.
Step 1 — Open the notification
Tap the row in the notifications list or the notification in the bell callout. The screen is called "Notification", and the back button returns you exactly where you came from. If the notification is no longer in the app's list — you opened it from an old alert and the list has since reloaded without it — the screen shows only "This notification is no longer available.".
Step 2 — Read the header
At the top sits the event's title (a move, a deletion, a new request and so on), and right below it the "Received on" stamp with the date and time it arrived. When you were the one who performed the action, the stamp starts with "You".
Below that is the sentence describing the event, with the names in bold. The date is bolded only where it is the destination of the action — an appointment moved by a colleague, a booking request, a reschedule, an automatically accepted booking; for deletions, cancellations and edits it stays plain text. When the client started the event (a booking, a reschedule, a cancellation), the sentence doesn't repeat their name: it either says the generic "The client" or starts straight from the appointment — you'll find the name on the row below. If the appointment was taken over from another employee, the row "Taken from" with their name appears too.
Step 3 — The appointment fields
Below the sentence come the appointment's rows, filled in only where data exists. For notifications about an appointment (moved, edited or deleted by a colleague) the rows sit under the title "Appointment details"; for client requests the title is missing and the rows follow right after the sentence:
- Client: the name and, joined by a dash, the phone number
- Employee: the appointment's employee
- Service: one row for each service, with its price
- Value: the total value, if the server sent it
- Notes: the appointment's notes or the message written by the client
The time isn't repeated here: it's already in the sentence above. For reschedule requests you only see the client and the notes — the appointment itself you open with the button at the end of the card.
Step 4 — The record's status
When the notification isn't quite about the appointment — say, the deletion of a client who had a single appointment — the appointment gets a card of its own, and the card's title tells you what happened to it: "Moved", "Cancelled", "Deleted", "Deleted, then restored", "Client removed (appointment kept)" or, when nothing more can be said, "Record". This card also shows the Date: row with the appointment's time span, plus Total for the amount.
Canceling is not the same as deleting: a canceled appointment still exists and can be opened in the calendar.
Step 5 — A request's status
For client requests, the request's fate is written only once someone has decided it: "Accepted" or "Declined", followed by the date of the decision and "by" plus the name of whoever decided. When the account's rules approved the request on their own, it simply says "Accepted automatically", with no date — it's the same moment as the stamp at the top. You may also see "Withdrawn by the client" or "Already handled". The default status, "Waiting for an answer", is never written out — if you see no status row at all, the request is still waiting.
Step 6 — When there are many records
If the notification covers several appointments, the screen doesn't list them all out. You see a summary of the form "Deleted" with their count and the date range, and the "View appointments" button unfolds the full list in a scrollable area. The button becomes "Hide" while the list is open.
When records are missing, a note appears under the list: "Some records are not shown - they are not visible to you or are no longer stored." (they aren't visible to you or are no longer stored) or "Partial list - this notification covers more records than can be stored.".
Step 7 — The action buttons
At the tail of the card sit the buttons, the first one colored and the rest outlined. Only actions that lead somewhere real appear — if the appointment or the client is no longer in the app, their button is missing or replaced with one that actually opens something:
- appointment moved, edited, reminder, or automatically accepted booking:
"View appointment" (takes you into the calendar, on its day, with the row selected) and "See client's details". If the appointment is no longer in the app, "View that day" appears in place of the first button
- appointment deleted or canceled by the client: "View that day" and
"See client's details"
- new booking request: only "View requests"
- reschedule request waiting for your answer: "View requests",
"View cancelled appointment" and "See client's details"
- automatically accepted reschedule: there's nothing left to approve, so in place of the requests
you get "View appointment" for the new appointment, "View cancelled appointment" for the canceled one and "See client's details"
- birthdays: "View clients"
- monthly report: "View report"
- new version: "Update now"
Deleting a client, batch changes and general announcements have no button: there, the text and the list above are the whole answer.
Optional: the birthdays notification has a card of its own, "Birthdays today", with one row per client — the name and, when the server sent it, the date of birth. The "Send wishes" button appears only on rows with a phone number and only if you have SMS or WhatsApp enabled in settings; it opens the greeting message already filled in, ready to send. If the clients have since been deleted, the card says "The clients in this notification are no longer available.".
How to accept or decline a booking request
Booking requests coming from your web page are handled in the requests section: you can accept them (they become appointments) or decline them.
> Note: the "Web requests" section appears in the menu only if receiving online requests > is enabled on your account. For clients to be able to send requests, also turn on > "Allow appointment requests" in the options.
Step 1 — Open the requests
From the menu, tap "Web requests". The "History" button in the corner shows you previously processed requests.
Step 2 — Open a request
Tap a request in the list; the row expands and the action buttons appear.
Step 3 — Call the client (optional)
Tap "Call" if you want to confirm something before deciding.
Step 4 — Decline or accept
"Delete" refuses the request. "Accept" turns it into an appointment. (If there is a schedule conflict, "Accept" is disabled.)
Step 5 — Go through the confirmation steps
When accepting, depending on the case you choose: "Choose the client", "Choose a service", "Choose an employee" and "Choose the SMS alerts". Only the steps that need a clarification appear.
Step 6 — Save
Tap "Save". The request becomes an appointment and shows up in the calendar.
Optional: if you've enabled "Auto-accept appointments" in the options, requests become appointments automatically and no longer pass through here.
How to enable card payments
You can take card payments for online bookings through Stripe. Once connected, you can also ask clients for a down payment at booking time.
> Note: the setup is done by the account owner. Bank and card details are entered only on > Stripe's secure website, never in the app.
Step 1 — Open the options
In "Booking page", tap "Configure request options".
Step 2 — Start the setup
Tap "Enable card payments". The Stripe flow opens in your browser.
Step 3 — Fill in the details on Stripe
Follow Stripe's steps: company details, bank account and identity verification. These steps happen on Stripe's website, not in the app.
Step 4 — Come back to the app
Once your Stripe account is ready to take payments, the same option turns into "Down payment options".
Step 5 — Set the down payment
Tap "Down payment options" to ask clients to pay part of the cost at the moment they book.
Optional: if you interrupt the Stripe flow, you can pick it up again anytime — the option stays "Enable card payments" until the account is fully set up.
How to add a gallery and description
Photos and a presentation text make your booking page more attractive. You'll find both in "Booking page".
> Note: you need an internet connection — the description is edited directly in a web page.
Step 1 — Open the web page
From the menu, tap "Booking page".
Step 2 — Write the company description
Tap "Company description", write your company's presentation text and save right in the form.
Step 3 — Open the gallery
Tap "Gallery". If you don't have any photos yet, use the "Add images" button on the card.
Step 4 — Add images
Tap "Add" and pick a photo from the camera or from your device. Repeat for each image.
Step 5 — Reorder or delete
Drag photos to rearrange them. Tap a photo, then the delete button, to remove it from the gallery.
Step 6 — Save
Tap "Save". The description and photos appear on your public page.
Optional: the first photo in the gallery is the most visible one — put your best image up front.
How to add a service category
Categories group your services in the list, so you can find them more easily. You can add one in a few steps.
Step 1 — Open the services screen
Go to Services and tap the + button in the top right.
Step 2 — Choose "add a category"
From the menu that appears, tap Add a category.
Step 3 — Type the category name
Fill in the Category name field. In this panel you only enter the name.
Step 4 — Save
Tap Save.
Optional: if the name already exists, the app shows Category already exists and the save button stays inactive until you change the name.
Permission: adding categories requires the right to edit services. If the option is missing, ask the account administrator to enable it for you.
How to add a class (group session)
A class is an appointment that several clients attend in the same time slot — for example a yoga session, a course, or a group workout.
Step 1 — Open the add window
In the calendar, tap a free time slot, then choose "Add class".
Step 2 — Set up the class
Choose the service, the date and time, and the maximum number of spots. You can also make the class recurring (e.g. every Monday).
Step 3 — Add the participants
Add the clients who signed up. You can add them now or later, by opening the class from the calendar.
Tap "Save". The class appears in the calendar with its number of participants. ✅
Optional: from the class details you can check in participants, send a group message, or edit all future sessions at once.
How to add a note to an appointment
You can attach a note to an appointment — a remark visible only to you and your colleagues (e.g. "client prefers the window seat" or "call before").
Step 1 — Open the appointment details
Tap the appointment in the calendar, then tap details to open the full screen.
Step 2 — Write the note
In the note section, type the text you want. It is saved with that appointment.
The note stays attached to the appointment and you see it every time you open it. ✅
How to add a break to your schedule
A break blocks a time slot in the calendar (lunch, a meeting, personal time) so no appointments can be made during that time. You add it just like an appointment, but without a client.
Step 1 — Choose the time slot
In the calendar, tap the free time slot in the column of the employee you want. A window with options opens: tap "Add break".
Step 2 — Set the duration
Choose the start time and the duration of the break. You can also add a short description (e.g. "Lunch break").
Step 3 — Save
Tap "Save". The time slot shows as blocked in the calendar and can no longer be booked for appointments. ✅
Optional: the break can also be recurring (e.g. every day, at the same time) — set the repetition before saving.
How to add an appointment
You add an appointment straight from the calendar, in a few steps. You need the "Can add appointments" permission — if the buttons are missing, ask the administrator for this right.
Step 1 — Choose a free time slot
In the calendar, tap a free time slot in the column of the employee you want. A window opens with three options: "Add appointment", "Add class" (for a group session) and "Add break". Tap "Add appointment".
Step 2 — Choose the client
Type the client's name and phone number, or pick an existing client from the list.
Step 3 — Choose the services
Tick one or more services. For each one you see the price and the duration — the total duration determines how much space the appointment takes up in the calendar.
Step 4 — Choose the location
If you have set up multiple locations, choose the location where the appointment takes place. If you only have one location, this step is skipped automatically.
Step 5 — Check the details and save
Check the date and time. Optionally, you can set a repeat (recurring appointment) and an SMS reminder.
Finally, tap "Save". The appointment appears in the calendar. ✅
Optional: after saving you can open the appointment to add a note, change its status (confirmed, completed, canceled), or link a subscription.
How to add or edit a location
A location has a name and, optionally, an address linked to Google Maps, so it shows up correctly on the map of your booking page. The locations screen opens from the booking page.
Step 1 — Open "Locations"
On the booking page, tap the "Locations" row.
Step 2 — Add or pick a location
For a new location, tap the + button in the top right ("Add location"). To change an existing one, tap it in the list ("Edit location"). The first location is the default one — you can rename it simply by tapping it.
Step 3 — Fill in the name
Type the name into the "Location name (display name)" field — this is the name your clients see.
Step 4 — Add the address and search for it on the map
Fill in "The address of the location you are searching for" (e.g. Example: First Street, No. 28, New York), then tap "Search on Google Maps".
Step 5 — Pick the right result
Under "Search result:", tap the location that matches. This pins the address and the position on the map.
Step 6 — Save
Tap "Save". ✅
Optional: if you don't want an address on the map, you can save with just the name filled in.
How to add a subscription to a client
Assign a subscription to a client to keep track of their remaining sessions and validity.
Step 1 — Open the client
Tap the client in the list.
Step 2 — Check the phone number
The client needs a unique phone number to receive a subscription. If it's missing, add it first.
Step 3 — Tap the subscription button
In the subscriptions section, tap Add subscription.
Step 4 — Choose the subscription
From the list, tap the subscription template you want.
Step 5 — Review the purchase details
Confirm the start date, validity, price, and number of sessions.
Step 6 — Save
Tap Save to assign the subscription.
Optional: If you don't have any subscription set up yet, the app takes you to the screen for creating a new one.
How to add an employee
An employee gets their own column/calendar in the app. Optionally, you can also create a login user for them, so they can access their appointments from their own device. You need the right to add employees (Auth.opt_can_add_employee) — if the + button is missing from the "Staff" screen, ask the owner for this right.
Step 1 — Open the add screen
On the "Staff" screen, tap the + button in the top right. The "What type of staff member do you need?" question appears.
Step 2 — Choose the "employee" type
Tap "Employee". The "Add staff member" form opens.
Step 3 — Enter the name
Fill in the "Enter employee name" field.
Step 4 — (Optional) Create a login account for them
Also fill in the "E-mail address" field. This creates a user, and on save an invitation e-mail is sent for activation. If you leave the field empty, the employee is created without an account — you can add one later.
Step 5 — Save
Tap "Save". The employee appears in the list and in the calendar. ✅
Optional: reopen the employee to set their "Permissions", "Work days schedule" and "Available services". If the invitation hasn't been activated yet, tap "Resend invite" to send it again. If your subscription has no free employee seat left, the app asks you to upgrade before continuing.
How to add a client
Add a new client straight from the client list by filling in the name and, optionally, the phone number.
Step 1 — Open the client list
From the main menu, go to the Clients section.
Step 2 — Tap the add button
In the top-right corner, tap the plus (+) button. You need the right to edit clients.
Step 3 — Type the name
In the window that opens, fill in the client's name. The name is required.
Step 4 — Add the phone number
Type the phone number (digits only). It's optional, but useful for reminders and subscriptions.
Step 5 — Save
Tap Save. The client then opens in their details screen, where you can fill in more information.
Optional: Tap the profile image to choose a photo. If the name already exists, the app automatically adds a number, so you can tell the clients apart (e.g. "Ion Popescu 2").
How to add a reception account
The reception / administration account can see the whole team's appointments, but has no calendar of its own — it's used only to manage the other employees' appointments. We offer it for free. You need the right to add members (Auth.opt_can_add_employee).
Step 1 — Open the add screen
On the "Staff" screen tap +, then at the "What type of staff member do you need?" question choose "Reception / administration account".
Step 2 — Enter the name
The "Add" form opens. Fill in the "Enter name" field.
Step 3 — Enter the e-mail address
Fill in "E-mail address". For a reception account the e-mail is required — it is the login account the person uses to access the app.
Step 4 — Save
Tap "Save". An invitation e-mail is sent to the address you entered. ✅
Optional: if the e-mail doesn't arrive or the invitation expires, reopen the account and tap "Resend invite". You can adjust the account's permissions from "Permissions".
How to add a service
Saved services show up automatically when you create an appointment, so you don't have to type them out every time. Here's how to add one.
Step 1 — Open the services screen
Go to Services and tap the + button in the top right corner, then choose Add service.
Step 2 — Pick a category (optional)
If you have more than one category, pick one from the Select a category list. If not, the service goes into the default category automatically.
Step 3 — Enter the name
Fill in the Service name field. The name has to be unique; if it's already used by another service, the app won't save it and will let you know.
Step 4 — Set the duration and price
Enter the Duration (min) (in minutes) and the Price. You can also add a short description in the Details area.
Step 5 — Choose a color
Tap the color picker and choose the shade you want the service to appear with in the calendar.
Step 6 — Save
Tap Save.
Optional: if you have down payment collection turned on, the Set down payment per service card also appears, where you can request a percentage (Down payment percentage) or a fixed amount (Fixed amount) per service.
Permission: you need the right to edit services. If the + button is missing or inactive, ask the account administrator to enable this right for you.
How to choose an employee's services
You can set exactly which services each employee performs. That way, when you make an appointment you only see the services that fit the person you picked.
Step 1 — Open the employee
On the "Staff" screen, tap the employee you want.
Step 2 — Go to the available services
Tap the "Available services" row (the number in brackets shows how many services they have right now). This opens "Select available services".
Step 3 — Tick the services
Tick the services the employee performs and untick the ones that don't apply to them.
Step 4 — Save
Tap "Save". ✅
Optional: if the employee's services are synced with the online booking page, the change shows up there automatically as well.
How to choose the color theme and dark mode
The app has six color themes and two display modes, light and dark. You choose once, and the colors apply everywhere: header, buttons, calendar. The two choices are independent — any theme works in both light and dark.
Step 1 — Open the themes screen
Go to Settings, tap Interface & Language Settings, then, under the Choose color scheme heading, tap the row showing two color pills and the name of the theme currently in use. This opens the themes screen, with the same title. (The language is changed from here too, in the section above — see the "How to change the language and theme" tutorial.)
Step 2 — Choose the display mode
At the top, under Display mode, tap Light or Dark. The colored pill slides to the tapped tab right away, but the app's colors don't change yet: your choice stays pending until you leave the screen.
Step 3 — Choose the color theme
Under Colour theme you'll find the six themes, two per row, in this order: Classic, Peony, Ocean, Forest, Lavender, Graphite. Each one is drawn as a miniature app — a header with the theme's name, a thin line in the secondary color underneath, and a button in the accent color — so you can see the colors in the exact roles they'll play. Tap the one you want and the colored frame moves to it immediately.
Step 4 — Leave the screen to apply
Tap the Back arrow in the top left corner. If you changed the theme or the mode, the app restarts briefly, showing the startup screen, and drops you into the calendar, on the main screen, with the new look — you don't go back to settings. If you didn't change anything, you return straight to Interface & Language Settings.
Optional: Graphite is the only theme with a dark header, even in Light mode — pick it if you want a sober look without switching the whole screen to dark.
How to request appointment confirmation
You can add a link to the reminder message that lets the client confirm their appointment. It all starts from a single switch.
Step 1 — Open the settings
Open the menu and go to Settings.
Step 2 — Turn on confirmation
Turn on the Request appointment confirmation switch. When it's on, the reminder message includes a link the client can use to confirm the appointment.
Step 3 — Save
Tap the Back arrow in the header; the setting is saved automatically.
Optional: the text shown before the confirmation link can be edited in SMS Templates, a section available only to the administrator account.
How to read and manage notifications
The app gathers everything that happened in your calendar into one place: new appointments, changes, requests, birthdays. There are two ways to reach them — the bell in the calendar header, which opens the list in a box over the calendar, and the menu row, which opens it full screen.
Step 1 — Open the bell in the header
The bell shows up in the calendar header only when you have unread notifications. Tap it and the list opens anchored to the bell, over the calendar — you don't leave the calendar. If, on narrow screens, the bell gives up its spot to the month arrows, the signal moves to a red pill with the unread count, on the corner of the menu button; from there you take the long way in.
Step 2 — Open the full screen from the menu
In the menu, the first row is "Notifications" and it opens the full screen. When you have unread items, the row carries the bell with the red pill too. Same rows, same content, and the same load-on-scroll as the list under the bell — the only difference is how much room they get on screen. This route stays open even after you've read everything, when the bell no longer shows in the header. The gear in the top right of the header takes you to "Notification settings".
Step 3 — Read the list
An unread row has an orange dot on the right; read ones move to a slightly darker background. The app's own announcements (new version, new feature) are the exception: they always sit on a pastel wash, with a colored stripe along the left edge, and don't turn gray after you read them. Under the text you'll see when it arrived: "Received on", followed by the date and time; if you performed the action yourself, the row starts with "You". Scroll to the bottom and older notifications load automatically.
Step 4 — Open a notification
Tap a row and the detail screen opens, showing the full text. Opening it marks it as read — that is the individual marking; there's no separate button on the row. At the bottom you'll also find buttons that take you further: to the appointment, to the client, to the booking requests, to the monthly report, or to the app update. When the appointment is no longer in the app, you get "View that day" instead — the calendar on the day it happened. Some notifications have no button at all (a client deletion, general announcements): there, the text is the whole answer. If you came in from the bell, the back button leaves you in the calendar; if you came in from the menu, it takes you back to the list.
Step 5 — Mark all as read
At the top right of the list you have "Mark read". The button only shows while you have something unread, and it exists in both places — in the list under the bell and on the full screen. When you tap it, you're asked "Mark all notifications as read?"; choose "Yes" to close them all or "No" to back out. The button disappears as soon as nothing is left unread.
Optional: if you have nothing, the list is replaced by "You have no notifications.". If the server can't deliver your notifications, the message is "Notifications are not available right now." — it's not a connection problem on your end, so there's no point checking your internet. While the list is still on its way from the server, you'll see "Loading data...". Some notifications stay pinned at the bottom, under the list, and don't move when you scroll; the ones pinned only until read leave their spot as soon as you've opened them.
How to configure which notifications you get
The app lets you know when a client requests an appointment, when someone on your team moves something in the calendar, or when the monthly report is ready. In the settings screen you choose whether this device receives push notifications and which types should still notify you.
Step 1 — Open the settings
From the menu, go to Notifications, then tap the gear icon at the top right of the header. The Notification settings screen opens. The back button takes you back to the notification list.
Step 2 — Choose whether this device gets push
The first card is called On this device and has a single switch: "Allow push notifications". Below it, a line explains why it matters: "This is how we let you know when something important happens in the app. We recommend keeping it on."
The switch applies only to the device in your hand: it does not follow your account to another phone and it does not survive a reinstall. When you turn it off, the device unsubscribes from push right away, but notifications keep collecting in the list in Notifications.
Step 3 — Choose the types that notify you
Below that come cards with notification types, grouped by what they do: Requests waiting for an answer, Changes made by clients, Changes made by the team, Daily and reports and Other (new types land here until they get a group of their own).
Each row has its own switch: on means you get push for that type. The change saves itself instantly — there is no save button — and applies to your account, so also to the other devices you are signed in on.
The list is not fixed: it shows the types the server already has a saved preference for on your account, plus the ones that have reached your list at least once. A card left with no rows is not shown at all.
A few types have no switch, on purpose, and you won't find them in the list: our own announcements about the app — "New version" and "New feature" — which you cannot turn off, and "Appointment changed", turned off for everyone for now. Don't look for them here.
Step 4 — The summary row
In Changes made by the team you'll find the row "Group similar notifications", with the explanation: "E.g. "Maria deleted 5 appointments" - one summary, not 5 notifications." When the same colleague makes several changes at once, you get a single alert with the total, instead of a string of notifications.
Mind what the switch actually does, because its name promises more: the grouping happens anyway, no matter how you set it. The row only cuts the push for the resulting summary. If you turn it off, you don't get the changes one by one — those are never written.
Step 5 — The notes that appear above the cards
Sometimes, between the device card and the type cards — or on its own, when there is nothing to show — a note appears:
- "Settings have not been loaded from the server yet. The values below are the defaults." — the settings are still on their way from the server; wait
a few seconds and the switches settle on their real values.
- "Push is off for this account, so the settings below have no effect for now." — push is turned off at account level. The choices below
still save, but no push goes out while it stays that way, and it can't be turned back on from this screen.
- "There are no notification types to configure for this account yet." — a new account, with no notifications yet; the cards appear as the
first ones arrive. Only this one stands alone on the screen; the other two sit above the switches, which remain visible and tappable.
Optional: if you want quiet on this phone without missing anything, turn off the switch in On this device and leave the types on — the list in Notifications stays complete and you can read it when you have time.
How to configure the booking options
From the options you decide what clients see on the web page and how appointment requests behave. When you're done, tap "Save".
> Note: these settings live under "Booking page", available only with the > right to see the web page.
Step 1 — Open the options
In "Booking page", tap "Configure request options".
Step 2 — Visibility and requests
"Make your website public" makes the site public, and "Allow appointment requests" lets clients send appointment requests.
Step 3 — How requests arrive
"Auto-accept appointments" turns requests straight into appointments, with no manual confirmation. "The price of the services should be visible" and "The time of the services should be visible" show the client the price and duration of your services.
Step 4 — What the client can choose
Turn on "Allow customers to choose the service" and cap it with "Maximum number of selectable services". Use "Allow only requests that are linked to existing appointments" for requests attached to existing appointments, "Allow client to send a message" to offer a message field, and "Show an informational message to the client" for terms or conditions.
Step 5 — The booking window
Set "Maximum days in the future" and "Minimum days from now" — how many days in advance clients can request an appointment.
Step 6 — Cancellations and rescheduling
Turn on "Allows cancellations" and "Allows rescheduling" and choose how many days ahead clients are allowed to do them.
Step 7 — Selection order and saving
At "What should be selected first?", choose what appears first: "Employee" or "Service". Then tap "Save".
Optional: the employee always stays selectable by the client; you only control whether they can choose the service as well.
How to create a client's file
The client's file lets you write down observations and attach photos — for example, the progress of a treatment.
Step 1 — Open the client
Tap the client in the list.
Step 2 — Enter the file
In the Client's chart section, tap View all.
Step 3 — Add an entry
In the top right corner, tap the plus (+) button. You need the right to edit clients.
Step 4 — Choose the type
Choose Text and images for a note with photos, or Templates if you use form templates.
Step 5 — Write the text
Fill in the text field with your observations.
Step 6 — Add images
Tap Gallery to pick from your gallery, or Camera to take a photo.
Step 7 — Save
Tap Save.
Optional: The first time you use the camera or the gallery, the app asks for permission to access them.
How to create a subscription
A subscription is a template you define once: which services it includes, how many uses, what it costs and how long it stays valid. Then you can sell it to clients.
Step 1 — Open the subscription list
In the Services screen, tap the Subscriptions card. The Available subscriptions list opens.
Step 2 — Start a new subscription
Tap the + button at the top right.
Step 3 — Title and color
Under Define the subscription, type a name in Subscription title and pick a color.
Step 4 — Price, duration and validity
Under Price, duration & expiration, pick the validity from Expire time:, then fill in Price, Duration (min) and Included uses (how many uses it includes).
Step 5 — The services included
Tap Services and tick the services that go into the subscription. At least one must be selected.
Step 6 — Visibility and online payment

- Move the appointment to the new time, or
- Make a copy in the new slot (keeping the old one too).

Step 3 — Manual arranging

Step 4 — Rearrange the categories (optional)
If you have several categories, the same menu shows Sort the categories manually, so you can move them the same way, by dragging.
Step 5 — Exit arrange mode
When you're done, tap the back button (top left). The new order stays saved.
Permission: reordering requires the right to edit services. Without it, the options button doesn't appear.

How to set which employees and services are visible online
You choose which employees appear on the web page and what services each of them offers there. An employee shows up online only if they have a work schedule, are checked and have at least one service selected.
> Note: the screen lives under "Booking page" and is only available > with the right to view the web page.
Step 1 — Open the list
In "Booking page", tap "Visible employees and services".
Step 2 — Check the employees
Tick the box next to each employee you want visible on the web page.

Those without a work schedule are listed under "Employees without schedule" and can't be checked. Tap one to add a schedule, then come back and check them.
Step 4 — Choose their services
Tap "Services" next to an employee to open their list of services.
Step 5 — Sync or manual selection
"Use the same services on the web page as in the application" shows on the web exactly the services from the app. Turn it off to manually check only the services you want public; you can edit the in-app list with "Edit the employee's services".
Step 6 — Save
Tap "Save" to confirm your changes.
Optional: if an employee is checked but has no service selected, the text turns red — it means they still won't be visible on the page.
How to set the calendar hours
You can limit the hours shown in the calendar, choose the hour an empty day opens at, and hide employees without a schedule.
Step 1 — Open the time settings
Go to Settings, tap Interface & Language Settings, then Time and schedule settings.

How to set an employee's permissions

Step 1 — Open the employee
On the "Staff" screen, tap the employee you want.
Step 2 — Open "Permissions"
Tap the "Permissions" row.

- "Can add appointments"
- "Can edit appointments" — unlocks "Can edit appointments in the past" and "Can edit and add services".
- "Can view client's phone numbers"

Step 4 — Save
The save bar appears only after you've changed something. Tap "Save". ✅

How to set an employee's work schedule
The schedule sets the days and hours when the employee can be booked. Outside these intervals, the calendar doesn't allow appointments for them.
Step 1 — Open the employee's schedule
On the "Staff" screen, tap the employee, then "Work days schedule". This opens "Schedule for [name]".
Step 2 — Choose the repeat interval
From "Schedule", choose how often the schedule repeats: "Every week", "Every 2 weeks", "Every 3 weeks" or "Every 4 weeks". For a cycle of several weeks, tabs "Week 1", "Week 2" and so on appear.

How to delete a client or an employee, safely
When you delete a client or an employee, their appointments are permanently deleted too, including the ones in the history. There is no trash bin, and the operation can't be undone once it has run. That's why, when there are appointments to lose, the app doesn't settle for a button pressed on reflex: it asks you to type a confirmation word.
Step 1 — Open the profile and tap the trash icon
Open the client's or employee's profile and tap the delete icon in the top-right corner of the header. The icon only appears on an existing profile, not while you're adding someone new. For employees, the button is only visible if you have the right to delete employees (or if you're the account owner).
Step 2 — For employees: the block on upcoming appointments
If the employee has upcoming appointments, the app stops the deletion right away and shows you the message Unable to delete employee due to future appointments that he has. Please reschedule first.. There's nothing to confirm: first reschedule or cancel those appointments, then try the deletion again. The check runs once more at the moment you confirm, so an appointment that arrived in the meantime from another device can't slip through.
Step 3 — Read the title of the confirmation window
If there are appointments that would be lost, the type-to-confirm window opens. The title tells you exactly what disappears: Delete the client and :appointments for a client, Delete the employee and :appointments for an employee, with the real number of appointments in place of the text. Below the title it says All their appointments will be permanently deleted, including past ones., followed by the instruction in the next step.
For a client, the number in the title only counts the appointments that are actually deleted. Group appointments the client merely leaves keep running for the other participants, so they aren't counted.
Step 4 — Type the confirmation word
The instruction in the window is Type ":word" below to confirm., and the word to type is Delete itself, in the language you use the app in. Write it in the field below the text. The red button stays disabled until the word is typed correctly. Capitalization and diacritics don't matter — lowercase or unaccented spellings count just the same.
Step 5 — Confirm or back out
You have two buttons: Cancel closes the window without touching anything, while Delete runs the deletion. The window closes first, then the deletion starts and you're taken back to the screen you came from.
For a client, the deletion happens on the server before anything else: if it fails, you stay on the profile, you get the message We were unable to delete, and the client isn't lost. For an employee there is no such message — the employee disappears from the calendar immediately, and the rest syncs in the background.
Step 6 — When there are no appointments
If the person has no appointments to lose, you're not asked to type anything. You only get the confirmation question — Are you sure you want to delete the client and all the information associated with him (appointments, client history, client charts, reports? for a client, Are you sure you want to delete? for an employee — under the title How do you want to proceed?, with the options Delete and Cancel.
Optional: for clients there is no deactivation — a client either stays in the list or is deleted for good. For employees there is something close, but different: if the employee has a login account that's already activated and you have edit rights on them, their profile shows the User is enabled switch, which you can turn off. Confirm with Deactivate and the account is signed out on every device — If you deactivate the user, it will be logged out of all devices.. The employee loses access to the app but stays in the calendar together with all their appointments. If all you want is to stop someone from signing in, this is the option with nothing to lose.
If the invitation hasn't been accepted yet, the switch doesn't appear: in its place you see User is not activated and the Resend invite button.
How to delete an appointment
You can delete an appointment straight from the calendar. You need the permission to edit appointments.
Step 1 — Open the appointment
Tap the appointment in the calendar. The quick-actions bar appears.
Step 2 — Delete
Tap "Delete" and confirm.
If the appointment is part of a recurring series, you'll be asked whether you want to delete just this appointment or all of them in the series.
Note: if you want to keep the appointment but mark that it didn't happen, it's better to use the "Canceled" or "No show" status instead of deleting it — that way it stays in the history.
How to track the sessions of a subscription
See how many sessions (called Uses in the app) are left on a subscription, and link an appointment to it to deduct one usage.
Step 1 — Open the subscription
Open the client's profile and tap the subscription in their list.
Step 2 — See how many are left
Under Remaining usages you can see how many usages are still available out of the total included.
Step 3 — Open the list of usages
Tap Edit, next to Remaining usages, to see the appointments already linked to the subscription.
Step 4 — Add an appointment
Tap Add appointment to subscription and choose the appointment you want to deduct from the subscription.
Step 5 — Save
Tap Save.
Optional: you can't go past the number of included usages — over the limit, the app stops adding. If the subscription hasn't been used yet, you'll see the message The subscription has not been used for any appointment.
How to see a client's history
See all of a client's appointments, together with their count and the total amount collected.

How to see the schedule by week or for several employees
The calendar has several view modes, and you can switch between them at any time.
Day view / week view
Tap the view button (the three dots in the corner) and choose "Week view" or "Day view". The week shows you all the working days at once.
Viewing several employees
Tap the employee button in the header and select several employees. The calendar automatically switches to a grid with one column per employee — handy when you want to see the whole salon at a glance.
Missed and canceled appointments
From the same view menu you can show or hide missed and canceled appointments.
Note: you can adjust how many days appear in the week view from Settings → Interface and language.
How to view and pay your invoices
You can see your invoices and pay them online, straight from the app.
Step 1 — Open the invoices
From the menu, tap "Invoices". The list loads ("Loading data..."). If you have no invoices, "No invoices found." appears.
Step 2 — Open the invoice as a PDF
On an invoice row, tap the "PDF" button. The invoice opens in your browser, where you can save or print it.
Step 3 — Pay the invoice
Tap "Pay Now". The payment page opens in your browser; follow the steps to pay online.
Step 4 — Check the status
A paid invoice is marked with the green "Paid" button. If an invoice has no online payment, the pay button is missing.
Step 5 — Refresh the list
The reload button in the top-right corner fetches the latest invoices.
Note (permissions): "Invoices" appears in the menu only if you have the right to see invoices. Without it, ask the administrator for this right.
Optional: the payment opens a secure page in your browser — don't enter your card details anywhere else.
How to switch between day and week and what to show in the calendar
The agenda can show a single day or the whole week, and the list can hold either the active appointments or the no-show and canceled ones. All these switches live in the same menu in the top bar, together with opening the calendar and jumping to the current day.
Step 1 — Open the menu in the top bar
In the agenda's top bar, tap the three dots at the right end. They always stay there, at any screen width: when the bar gets narrow, the calendar icon and the bell retreat first — the dots never do. A small panel opens, with two sections of options and two action rows. The panel always shows the current state: the active option is already marked when you open it.
Step 2 — Choose day or week
Under View you have two options: Day and Week. Tap the one you want — the agenda switches immediately and the panel closes. The choice is remembered: on the next start, the agenda opens on the view you left it on.
Week works with a single employee. If several were selected, the selection narrows down to the first of them when you switch to week.
Step 3 — Choose what to show
Under Show you choose between Active and Missed & canceled. The two don't add up — they swap: on the first one you see the valid appointments, and on the second one only those where the client didn't show up or that were canceled stay visible — active appointments hide while the filter is on. Just like the view, the agenda refreshes immediately and the panel closes. The filter is not remembered between starts: the next time you open the app you're back on Active.
Step 4 — Open or close the calendar
Below the options you have the Open calendar row, which opens the monthly calendar. When the calendar is already open, the same row reads Close calendar and closes it again. The same command is also on the calendar icon in the top bar, whenever the screen is wide enough for it to fit.
Step 5 — Jump to the current day
The Go to today row takes you back to today. When you're already there, the row is gray and can't be tapped. When you've moved away from the current day, a calendar button with today's date written in it also appears in the top bar — it does the same thing in a single tap.
Optional: if you're on Week and select several employees, the agenda asks how you want to continue: "Week view works with a single employee. If you select more, the agenda switches to day view." Tap "Continue" to keep the chosen employees and switch to the multi-employee view, or "Cancel" to stay on week with a single employee.
How to sell a subscription to a client

Appointments
Can I add notes to each appointment?
Of course! You can do this in two ways:
1. In the last step of a new appointment, in the "Appointment Notes" section.
2. Directly in the existing appointment:
- select the desired appointment ➣ click on the "✎" icon in the bottom right corner ➣ Appointment Notes.
The notes are automatically saved when you edit them.
Here are examples of the most commonly used notes:
"Second meeting in February"
"Punctual client"
"Paid in advance"
"New client"
Can I schedule an appointment for a group of clients?
With the Groups option, you can schedule up to 15 clients at the same time.
First, you need to define them as clients in the app, then name a group and add the group members.
When you make an appointment for that group, you select the Group name, and all members will receive the same message.
Contact us via WhatsApp +40725425083 to register a request to activate this “Groups” feature.
Can I schedule multiple people at the same time?
By default, only one client can book each time slot, to avoid overlaps.
If you want several students or participants to book the SAME time slot (for example a class or a course), use the Classes/Courses feature — you set it up yourself, right in the app, no need to contact the team. In short: on the slot you want, tap “Add”, choose “Add class”, set the service, the maximum number of participants and the time slot, then save. You can mark the class as “open” so it shows on your web booking page and clients can sign up themselves. Detailed steps here: /en/faq/how-to-create-classes-courses
To book two clients at the same time but with DIFFERENT services, you need an extra (separate) column. The number of columns depends on the number of employees in your subscription: from the main Menu “☰” ‣ Subscriptions you can add one more employee.
Can I schedule all appointments of a subscription at once?
Of course, you can schedule all appointments of a subscription in a single action, without needing to create each appointment separately. This way, the entire set of appointments will be automatically added to the calendar.

With Zen Agenda, you can benefit from a customized web page, provided for free.
This web page allows clients to make online appointments, having complete information about the services offered, contact details, address, location on Google Maps, representative photos, the logo, and a presentation of the salon or clinic.

For automated SMS messages, it's important to keep the variables used by the application, such as the date and time of the appointment.
Please always check:
- the business name;
- the contact phone number;
- the date and time of the appointment;
- the message length;
- the absence of diacritics in the case of automated SMS.
Can I send a marketing message to my client list?
Yes, Zen Agenda allows you to send marketing campaigns to your clients via SMS and/or email.
- SMS campaigns are sent from a dedicated short number.
- Email campaigns can be sent to clients whose email addresses you have saved in the app.
To create a campaign, go to Main Menu “☰” ➣ Campaign.
If you want to send messages via SMS and do not have enough credit available, you can purchase credit directly from the app.
When creating the campaign, you can manually select recipients or use advanced filters to quickly identify the desired group of clients.

How do automated SMS messages work?
Automated SMS messages are sent directly by the system, from the label ZEN AGENDA.
They can be used for:
- confirming an appointment;
- reminding about an appointment;
- automated notifications related to client appointments.
The main advantage is that you don't have to send the messages manually. Once the alerts are activated, Zen Agenda takes care of sending them at the right time.
The cost is 0.035 euros / SMS, for a message of up to 160 characters, without diacritics.
How do semi-automated SMS messages work from your own number?
Semi-automated SMS messages are sent from your own phone number, using message templates prepared in the app.
This option is useful if you want the messages to come from a number that the client already recognizes.
The cost of these messages depends on your own mobile phone plan. Zen Agenda does not charge for each SMS sent this way, but your phone operator may apply their own charges based on your plan.
How do SMS alerts work?
SMS alerts are a great way to ensure your clients don’t forget their appointments and that you don’t waste time.
You can set them up to be sent as a confirmation when you make a new appointment, as well as to remind clients one day and two hours before the appointment. This helps clients remember and arrive on time.
It's definitely worth setting up the three SMS alerts for your appointments!
How do I add or remove SMS alerts to a new appointment?
- Add an appointment for the desired date and time.
- Select the client ➣ Service
- In the last step, you will see “SMS Alerts for Client“
- Here you can enable and disable notifications.
- Save.
Attention!
Once you modify the SMS alert sending template, it will be retained for future appointments you create.
To revert to the original template, schedule an appointment at least 24 hours later, ensuring that you check all 3 SMS alerts in the last step.
How do I change the automatic message sent to clients?
- Main menu “☰” ➣ Employees ➣ Select the employee's name ➣ Edit SMS template
- Check the first line at the top – “Use personalized SMS“
Edit the message with the following precautions:
- Do not delete #D, #H, the date and time placeholders automatically set by the application when you add the appointment.
- Make sure to provide the correct contact information, your name or your business name, and the contact phone number.
- Please do not use diacritics or emojis. Also, do not use the specific accents of German and Hungarian.
- Please stay within the 160-character limit imposed by mobile operators (you have a character counter).
- Please do not use the words “today”, “tomorrow”, “the day after tomorrow”, etc. Because the reminder message is common for the alert one day before and the one two hours before.
How can I customize semi-automated messages?
To customize semi-automated messages:
1. Go to Main Menu → Settings → Edit Quick Messages.
2. For each displayed message, you can set different content for WhatsApp and SMS, depending on how you want to communicate with your clients.
Saved changes will be automatically used when you send the corresponding quick messages.
How can I customize SMS automated messages?
Automated confirmation and reminder messages can be customized in two ways:
1. At the organization level:
- Go to Main Menu → Settings → Edit SMS Template.
- Here you can modify the confirmation and reminder messages that will be sent to all clients of the organization.
2. At the individual employee level:
- Go to Main Menu → Employees.
- Select the desired employee.
- Enter “Edit SMS Template”.
- Check the option “Use Custom SMS”.
- Customize the confirmation and reminder messages for that employee.
Important: If there is both a custom SMS template for the organization and a custom template for a specific employee, and the “Use Custom SMS” option is checked for that employee, the client will receive the employee's customized message, not the organization's general one.
How do I remove or add SMS alerts to an existing appointment?
- Select the appointment you want to edit
- Click the “✎” icon in the bottom right corner
- Under "SMS Alerts", click the “✎” icon
- Here you can enable or disable notifications
- Save.
How do semi-automated WhatsApp messages work?
Semi-automated WhatsApp messages are sent from your own phone number using message templates.
This option is suitable for clients who prefer communication via WhatsApp.
You can use WhatsApp messages for:
- confirmations;
- reminders;
- additional information about appointments;
- instructions before appointments;
- personalized messages.
The cost depends on your own phone plan and the internet connection used.
What is the difference between automatic SMS and semi-automatic SMS?
Automatic SMS is sent directly by Zen Agenda, from the label ZEN AGENDA, without the need for manual intervention.
Semi-automatic SMS is prepared using a template, but is sent from your own phone number.
In short:
- Automatic SMS = sent by the system, from ZEN AGENDA, cost 0.035 euros / SMS.
- Semi-automatic SMS = sent from your number, cost depends on your phone plan.
- Semi-automatic WhatsApp = sent from your number, using WhatsApp templates.
What types of messages can I send via Zen Agenda?
With Zen Agenda, you can send your clients informational and reminder messages in several ways:
1. Automated SMS messages, sent from the ZEN AGENDA label.
2. Semi-automated SMS messages, sent from your own phone number, using message templates.
3. Semi-automated WhatsApp messages, sent from your own phone number, using message templates.
This way, you can choose the option that best fits how you prefer to communicate with your clients.
When is it recommended to use automated SMS?
Automated SMS are recommended when you want the system to send important notifications on its own, without relying on your phone.
They are suitable for:
- automatic confirmations;
- reminders before appointments;
- appointments where it is important for the message to be sent on time;
- teams with multiple employees;
- clinics, offices, or salons with many daily appointments.
When is it recommended to use semi-automated messages?
Semi-automated messages are recommended when you want a more personal communication, from your own phone number.
They are suitable for:
- personalized messages;
- direct communication with the client;
- situations where you want the message to appear as sent by you;
- confirmations or reminders sent manually, but faster, using templates.
Which message option is best for me?
If you want messages to be sent automatically, without any manual effort, we recommend automated SMS from Zen Agenda.
If you prefer messages to be sent from your own number, we suggest semi-automated SMS or semi-automated WhatsApp messages.
If you're unsure which option is right for your account, contact us and we'll help you choose the best option.
Why should I write automated SMS without diacritics?
A standard SMS has a limit of about 160 characters when written without diacritics.
If you use diacritics, emojis, or special characters, the message may be split into multiple SMS, which can increase the sending cost.
Recommendation:
Write messages short, clear, and without diacritics.
Example:
"Hello! You have an appointment at ABC Clinic on #D, at #H. For changes: 07xx xxx xxx."

How does setting up services help me?
Once the services are set up, it will be much easier to add an appointment. Additionally, you will know exactly what the next client/patient is scheduled for, allowing you to prepare accordingly.

Then, you can go back into the app following the same steps:
- Main Menu > Settings > Advance Payment and you can choose the advance you want to request - globally for all services or differently for each individual service.
