Publishing and the client link

Until a location is published, clients cannot book. Publishing opens booking and produces the link you send to clients.

Before publishing #

The location needs:

  • at least one working window — see working days and hours;
  • at least one active staff member — see staff;
  • at least one service whose duration is a multiple of the booking step — see services.

Steps #

  1. Open the Locations section.
  2. Click Publish in the row of the location you need.
  3. If something is missing, the screen says publishing is not possible and lists what to add. Go back to that section and repeat.

After publishing, the Share location block shows the Client link:

  • Copy link — puts the address on the clipboard. Send it in a messenger, on social media or on your website: in Telegram the link opens a chat with the bot and the client books themselves.
  • QR code of the client link — a code to print: a sticker on the door, a business card, a flyer.
  • Flyer number — a short number the client types in the bot chat after /start or dictates over the phone.

Pause and unpublishing #

  • Pause — booking closes, the setup stays. Resume brings the location back to work.
  • Unpublish — the link stops working. The screen asks for confirmation and reminds you that bookings are kept. Confirm or cancel.

Bookings that already exist are not deleted by either a pause or unpublishing.

What next #

Connect a bot so clients book in the messenger they already use: Telegram or MAX.
