Description: Book someone in over the phone or at the desk with the Schedule flow, in under a minute.
Updated: 2026-08-09

Clients book themselves through your booking page, but plenty of appointments still start with a phone call or a "can you fit me in?" at the desk. The Schedule flow books them in from your side.

## From anywhere

1. Click **Schedule** in the top navigation.
2. Click the day you're booking and choose **Create booking**. (The **New** menu in the header does the same from anywhere.)
3. Pick the service, then an open time — the day you clicked is already selected. You only see slots that actually fit: your hours, existing bookings, blocked time, and calendar busy times are all respected.
4. Enter the client's name and email (start typing to pick an existing client), add a note about what they want, and save.

*The new booking lands on your calendar immediately. Flip the Week | Month toggle for a whole-month view; any day clicks through to its week.*

Booking a regular who comes on a rhythm? Set **Repeats** on the details step to book the whole series at once — see [Book a standing appointment](/guides/book-standing-appointments).

## From a client's page

Booking a regular? Open their page in **Clients** and choose **Create a booking** from the Actions menu. The flow opens with the client already filled in, so it's just service and time.

## What happens next

- The client gets the same confirmation email and pre-visit reminder as a self-booked appointment, with their own reschedule and cancel links.
- The visit is added to their timeline, so their history stays complete.
- Team members can create bookings too, so the front desk doesn't need the owner.

One thing the Schedule flow skips: payment. Deposits and prepays apply to bookings made through your public booking page, where the client can pay. For a phone booking that needs a deposit, book it, then send a payment link from the booking.
