Approve or decline booking requests
Choose whether bookings are confirmed right away or wait for your OK.
Updated October 19, 2026
By default, bookings are confirmed right away. If you'd rather check each one, turn on Approve each booking yourself in Settings › Booking rules.
When approval is on
- Customers see Request appointment instead of Book appointment.
- Their booking waits as a request, and they get an email saying it was sent.
- Home shows how many requests need your OK. The Appointments menu item shows the count too.
Approve or decline
- Go to Appointments and open the Requests tab.
- Open a request to see the details and the customer's answers.
- Click Approve or Decline.
The customer gets an email either way, and a text too if text messages are on. A request holds its time, so nobody else can book it while it waits.
Team members who can sign in can approve and decline their own requests.
