Calendars & bookings

Your online booking page

Your booking page is a simple web page, for example orcaflo-panel.com/book/your-clinic, where customers pick an open time themselves. It shows the same open times your assistant offers: your opening hours minus existing bookings and, if connected, busy times in your Google Calendar.

Turn it on

1

Open Appointments

In the left menu, open Appointments and expand Booking page.

2

Choose your link and texts

Pick the link name (…/book/your-name), a title and a short intro. Optionally list your services, one per line, so customers choose one.

3

Go live

Tick Page is live and click Save. Copy your link with Copy.

4

Share it

Put it in your Instagram bio, your Google Business profile and your website. In Growth Tools, a tracked link of type “Booking page” shows how many people it brings. In a chat, the Booking link button inserts a personal link for that customer.

What your customers see

They pick a day and a time, enter their name (and a service if you listed any), then tap Continue.

Open times, in your local time.

To finish, they tap Confirm on WhatsApp. WhatsApp opens with a short message like “Confirm booking 5UGAZ4” to your number. When they press send, the booking is confirmed right there in the chat, and you get a notification. The time is held for 30 minutes while they do this.

Almost done: confirm your booking on WhatsApp
The customer confirms on WhatsApp.

Why confirm on WhatsApp?

It proves the booking is real and that the number is theirs, before anything lands in your calendar. It also means OrcaFlo never sends a WhatsApp message to a number someone typed into a form, which protects your WhatsApp number from spam reports.

Customers without WhatsApp? Tick Let people confirm by email, and they get a confirmation link by email instead.

Customers who open the page from a Booking link you sent in a chat are already known, so their booking is confirmed straight away.

If you don’t see this in your panel yet, email support@orcaflo-panel.com and we’ll switch it on for your business.

Questions

Bookings only become real after the customer confirms on WhatsApp or by email; unconfirmed times free up again after 30 minutes. The page also limits how often one person can try, and you can set the most bookings per hour.
