Booking links and client self-scheduling

Self-scheduling removes the back-and-forth that eats your evenings. This walkthrough sets up a booking page you can put in your bio, and the rules that keep it from filling badly.

What you will learn

  • Publish a personal or clinic booking page
  • Control notice periods, buffers and daily session caps
  • Set cancellation and reschedule rules
  • Turn on SMS, email and WhatsApp reminders

Step by step

1

Publish your booking page

Choose which services appear publicly. Intake consults can be open to everyone while ongoing therapy stays invite-only.

2

Set the guard rails

Minimum notice, maximum sessions per day and buffers stop your week from becoming unworkable even when demand spikes.

3

Write your cancellation policy

Clients see the policy before confirming, and the system enforces the window automatically instead of leaving you to have that conversation.

4

Switch on reminders

Reminders go out over SMS, email and WhatsApp on your schedule. Practices that turn these on typically see no-shows drop sharply.

Practitioner tips

Send one reminder 24 hours ahead and one two hours ahead, more than that reads as spam.

Keep first-session slots on a couple of fixed days so intakes stay predictable.
