Admin Superpowers: Create Bookings & Manage Your Calendar

Online self-service booking is great, but not every reservation comes through the website. Phone calls, walk-ins, regulars who text you directly — admins need a way to handle all of these. Here's what's new on the admin calendar.

Create bookings for your customers

Select one or more time slots on the admin calendar, and a booking dialog opens. Enter the customer's name and email, review the pricing, and confirm. The booking is created and a confirmation email is sent to the customer automatically.

Need to book a slot that's technically closed? Toggle the "Override rules" option and closed slots become selectable. These are shown with a distinct amber dashed styling so you always know when you're overriding the schedule.

Booking detail panel

Click any booked slot on the calendar to open a slide-over panel with full booking details — customer name, email, phone number, payment status, and timestamps. From there you can cancel the booking or navigate to the full booking page.

No more searching through a list to find a specific booking. Just click the slot on the calendar.

Named availability blocks

When you close off time on the calendar, you can now attach a label — "Tournament", "Maintenance", "Private Event", or anything else. The label appears on both the admin and customer calendars, so everyone knows why a slot is unavailable, not just that it is.

Unlabeled closures still work the same as before — they show as regular closed slots. Labels are entirely optional.

Cleaner calendar with visual grouping

Multi-slot bookings (like a 2-hour court reservation) now display as a single visual block instead of separate individual slots. A subtle accent bar on the left connects them, making the calendar much easier to scan at a glance.

Who benefits

• A receptionist at a tennis club gets a phone call — "Can you book court 2 for me at 3pm?" — and handles it directly from the admin calendar in a few clicks.
• A club manager marks a weekend as "Tournament" so members immediately see why the courts are blocked and don't need to call in asking.
• A salon owner clicks a booked slot to check who has the next appointment, sees the customer's phone number, and gives them a quick call about a schedule change.
