Bookings
Confirm or decline booking requests
Accept or decline new bookings, mark visits complete or no-show, or turn on auto-confirm.
Unless you've turned on auto-confirm, new online bookings wait for your OK.
Steps
- Go to Bookings. New requests are tagged Needs your OK. The Overview page counts them under Waiting for your OK.
- Click Accept to confirm, or Decline to turn it down.
- After the visit, click Mark complete, or No-show if they didn't come.
- To cancel a confirmed booking, click Cancel.
Auto-confirm
- Go to Hours.
- Tick Confirm online bookings automatically (otherwise they wait for you to accept).
- Click Save hours.
Good to know
- The time is held for the client while a request waits for you.
- If your plan includes texts, clients who ticked the appointment-texts box get a text when you accept, decline or cancel. Sotera doesn't email clients about these changes, so contact email-only clients yourself.
- Marking a booking complete counts it as a visit in the client's history.
- Team members see and manage only their own appointments.
- With a team, the owner can move a booking to someone else with the Move button.
