How a client books online and what they see

The client opens your page, picks a service, a specialist and a time, enters a name and a phone number, and confirms the number with a code from an SMS. They then see "Booking request sent" or "Booking confirmed", depending on your settings.

The calendar: views, new bookings and edits

The CRM calendar has "This Day", "This Week" and "Group View" with a column for each specialist. You create a booking with "Add event" or by selecting time in the grid; online bookings appear on their own, without reloading the page.

Why unconfirmed bookings are declined automatically

A "New" booking holds its time only until a deadline: by default 60 minutes before the start, or 20 minutes after it if the booking was made later. Then it becomes "Declined" and the time is free again. Change the deadlines in the CRM: "Workspace" → "Rules".
