Introduction
Booking management is a critical aspect for small to medium size business owners, service providers, CRM users, coaches, and consultants. Whether you’re using HighLevel, Kajabi, HubSpot, ClickFunnels, or another CRM, efficient booking can enhance your service delivery. In this blog post, we’ll explore a useful feature that allows you to set your booking widget to open to the first available date, streamlining your scheduling process.
What’s New?
Previously, the system automatically searched for available slots within the next three months. If no slot was found in that timeframe, bookers had the option to search for slots in the subsequent three months. Now, when only date-specific hours are configured for a calendar (without weekly working hours), the widget will automatically open the first available date—no matter how far in the future that may be.
This enhancement is particularly beneficial for businesses hosting future events and wanting to accept bookings in advance. Bookers no longer have to manually search for the next available slot; the widget will automatically show it.
Example:
For a New Year’s Eve event on December 31st, bookings can be taken immediately, and the widget will open directly to that date, ensuring a seamless booking process.
How to Use?
1. Navigate to Calendar Settings and choose your Calendar.
2. Go to the Availability Tab.
3. Configure Date-Specific Hours and ensure that no Weekly Working Hours are set for this feature to work.
Conclusion
The ability to open your booking widget to the first available date offers significant efficiencies for small to medium size business owners and service providers. Whether you are using HighLevel, Kajabi, HubSpot, ClickFunnels, or any other CRM, this improvement can help you manage your bookings more effectively. Streamline your process and enhance the customer experience by adopting this new feature.
