Client Self Check-In
Our client self check-in feature lets you streamline the steps for checking in clients for their appointment.
This is ideal for salons and spas with busy waiting rooms, changing capacity limits and social distancing protocols, or reduced front desk staff available to check-in clients.
Clients will be sent a notification 15 mins before their appointment. You can instruct them to check-in via a link with the option to ask them to 'wait outside'.
Once the staff member is ready for them, you can notify them to come inside and start their appointment.
How to Enable Client Self Check-in:

Check-In Process
Once your client arrives for their appointment, they can check-in using the link they received to notify you of their arrival.
When the client presses the check-in button, the status of their appointment will change to "Waiting" (purple). The staff member assigned to this client will receive an SMS message letting them know that their client is waiting.
