Session Scheduling & Booking

Q: Will the automation work if I use multiple calendars or have standing commitments?

Yes. The system reads all your calendars, respects time zone differences, and excludes any time blocks you mark as busy or blocked.

Q: What if a client books through email instead of the booking link?

All incoming requests, whether email, text, or web form, are captured and routed to the same booking workflow. Clients always receive the instant booking link, regardless of how they initially reach out.

Q: Can I customize the confirmation email and booking link to match my brand?

Yes. You can customize the email template, add your logo, include your cancellation policy, and personalize the message.

Q: What happens to session data if I already use a CRM?

All new bookings are logged automatically in your CRM with client details, session type, and notes. Existing client records are updated, not duplicated, so your data stays clean and current.

Clients book, confirm, and prepare for sessions without a single back-and-forth email from you.

About This Automation

Session scheduling consumes significant coach time as requests arrive through multiple channels and availability checking requires manual calendar review. Delays in confirming bookings cause clients to drop off and create friction in the onboarding experience.

Automation captures all booking requests, displays available slots instantly, and confirms sessions automatically. Coaches spend their time coaching, not managing calendars.

Key features:

Capture booking requests from email, text, and web forms into a single inbox

Display available time slots instantly based on coach calendar and timezone

Send clients a direct booking link to confirm their preferred session time

Create calendar events and send confirmation emails automatically

Log all session details in your CRM without manual data entry

Handle rescheduling requests with the same speed as initial bookings

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Booking Request Receivedtrigger

Client submits a booking request via email, contact form, or text. The automation platform detects the request and extracts the client name, preferred date range, and session type.

2. Check Real-Time Availability

The automation queries to find open slots matching the client's request and time zone. It returns the next 5 available times.

3. Send Instant Booking Link

The automation sends the client an email booking link pre-filtered to show only the available slots. The client clicks a time and confirms in seconds.

4. Client Booked?

The automation checks if the client completed the booking within 24 hours. If yes, proceed to confirmation. If no, send a reminder after 12 hours.

5. Create Calendar Event

Once the client books, the automation creates a event with the client name, session type, Zoom link, and a 24-hour reminder.

6. Send Confirmation Email

The automation sends a final confirmation email to the client with the session details, cancellation policy, and a link to reschedule if needed.

7. Log Session

The automation creates or updates the client contact with the session date, type, and any notes. It also creates a follow-up task for the coach.

8. Notify Coach

The automation sends a message to the coach confirming the booking, showing the client name, session time, and any special requests.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before mapping this process.

What happens if a client books a time slot and then needs to reschedule?

The automation handles rescheduling the same way it handles the initial booking: the client receives an updated availability link, selects a new time, and the calendar and CRM are updated automatically. No manual intervention needed.
