Go Beyond Default: A Closer Look at Key Capabilities

Let’s dive deeper into the three most impactful features that will transform your appointment management.

Create an Unlimited and Tailored Workflow

Your business is unique, and your booking system should reflect that. The core power of this add-on is the ability to create as many custom statuses as you need. This allows you to map out every single step of your client journey with precision.

Imagine a dental clinic using statuses like ‘New Patient Consultation,’ ‘Awaiting X-Rays,’ ‘Treatment Plan Sent,’ and ‘Follow-up Booked.’ Or a freelance consultant using ‘Discovery Call,’ ‘Proposal Sent,’ ‘Contract Signed,’ and ‘Project Started.’ This level of detail eliminates guesswork and ensures everyone on your team knows the exact stage of every appointment.

Enhance Visual Organization with Color-Coding

A wall of text is inefficient. The Bookly Custom Statuses add-on lets you assign a distinct color to each status, turning your appointment calendar into a powerful visual dashboard. You can instantly identify high-priority tasks, completed jobs, or appointments that require action.

For example, you could make all ‘Cancelled’ or ‘No-show’ appointments a bold red, ‘Confirmed’ appointments green, and appointments ‘Awaiting Payment’ a bright yellow. This visual system dramatically speeds up your daily management and reduces the chance of missing important details. It’s a simple change that delivers a massive boost in productivity.

Automate Your Workflow with Status-Triggered Actions

Reduce manual tasks and improve your client communication effortlessly. This add-on integrates directly with Bookly’s notification system. You can create specific email or SMS templates that are automatically sent when an appointment’s status is updated.

When you change a status to ‘Awaiting Deposit,’ you can automatically send an email with payment instructions. Change it to ‘Rescheduled by Client,’ and an automatic confirmation is sent. This automation not only saves you time but also provides a professional and responsive experience for your customers, keeping them informed every step of the way.

Who Is This Add-on For?

The Bookly Custom Statuses (Add-on) is a must-have tool for any service-based business that needs a more sophisticated appointment tracking system. It’s perfect for:

• Salons and Spas: Manage statuses like ‘Checked-in,’ ‘Service in Progress,’ ‘Payment Processed,’ and ‘Ready for Rebooking.’
• Medical & Wellness Clinics: Track patient journeys with statuses such as ‘First Visit,’ ‘Awaiting Test Results,’ ‘Requires Follow-up,’ and ‘Insurance Approved.’
• Consultants and Coaches: Organize your client pipeline with ‘Initial Inquiry,’ ‘Consultation Booked,’ ‘Proposal Sent,’ ‘Onboarding,’ and ‘Completed.’
• Repair and Maintenance Services: Use statuses like ‘Job Quoted,’ ‘Parts Ordered,’ ‘On-site Visit Scheduled,’ and ‘Invoice Sent.’
• Educational Institutions & Tutors: Keep track of students with ‘Trial Lesson,’ ‘Enrollment Pending,’ ‘Payment Due,’ and ‘Session Complete.’
