With Bookura you can also create appointments yourself for clients, for example when you receive them by phone or via WhatsApp. You do this directly via your dashboard.

How to create an appointment:

  1. Click on New appointment.
  2. Choose a client or add a new client.
  3. Select a treatment.
  4. Choose a date and optionally a time.
    • Leave the time field empty? Then Bookura automatically finds the first available spot.
  5. Optionally fill in notes, for example "client coming with daughter".
  6. Set the status to for example "Scheduled".
  7. Click Save.

Bookura automatically calculates how long the appointment takes based on the treatment and checks if there's no overlap with existing appointments.

Smart: automatic scheduling

Leave the time field empty, and Bookura calculates the next available time option based on your availability, including morning/afternoon preference if you've set that.

Use this when you want to schedule quickly, for example during a phone call with a client.
