Troubleshooting
Quick answers when something looks wrong
Why does my booking page show no times?
Check four things in order: the service is active, at least one active person offers it, that person has availability for the day, and there is no existing appointment or blocked time covering the slot.
Why did the customer not receive an email?
First confirm the customer entered the correct email address. Then open Notifications and check the delivery status. Ask the customer to check spam or junk, and contact them another way if delivery failed. Their appointment can still be confirmed even when an email provider rejects a message.
How do reminders work?
When a customer supplies an email address, Booksimpl sends reminders roughly 24 hours and 2 hours before a confirmed appointment. Cancelled appointments are excluded.
How does a customer add the booking to a calendar?
After booking, the customer can choose Google Calendar, Outlook, or download the Apple/iCal file. The same calendar file is available from the manage-booking page.
How do I stop taking bookings on a holiday?
Use Availability to close the affected person or add blocked time. Always preview the customer page afterward to confirm the date is unavailable.
Can I change my booking link?
Paid plans can customize the final part of the booking link in Settings. If you change it, replace the old link on social media, your website, and printed material.
