This week, Team Appointedd was excited to unveil a fantastic development that’s been a long time in the making. It’s now super easy to run classes and courses of all kinds with Appointedd! Here’s a whistle-stop tour of the updates and how you can use them to boost your online booking abilities.

Make classes or group events that can be booked into online

It’s now simple as pie to make open appointments that multiple people can book themselves into. Whereas a normal booking will become unavailable to be booked by anyone else after it has been taken, an online group booking will stay available until all the spaces have been filled. You can set the occupancy to be anything up to 500, so it’s the perfect way to organise large events.

Set services to only take place at certain times on specific days

With the new service scheduling feature, you can create services that only take place on certain days of the week, or at certain times of the day, or on specific selected dates. This is perfect for running classes and courses but it also opens up a range of possibilities for services you can run.

Easily add classes to your diary just like a normal appointment

You can now add a class straight to your Appointedd diary in exactly the same way as a standard booking. Simply choose the class tab when adding a new appointment. You can make it a one-off class or recurring, and let people book only into the whole series, part way through, or pick and choose individual classes.
