Create and manage an Announcement
An announcement is a non-bookable calendar entry that displays important information to your customers at specific times. Unlike regular bookings, announcements cannot be reserved by customers.
Common examples include:
- Holiday closures ("Closed for Christmas")
- Special hours ("Open All Day", "Walk-Ins 9:00 am-5:00 pm")
- Holiday greetings ("Happy Thanksgiving")
- Important notices or updates
In this article, you will cover:
How to Create an Announcement
- Go to Listings on the floating sidebar menu.
- Switch to the "Templates" tab.
- Search for "Announcement". Click "Create Listing".
- Under the "Basic" tab on the left - enter a Title and Description for this Announcement.
For example, "Happy Thanksgiving" and or "We are closed for Thanksgiving"
- Go to the "Images" tab and upload an image that best highlights this announcement on your calendar to your customers. A good suggestion is to add an image that may have these words included to make it even more clear what this is.
- Go to the "Timeslot" tab and create a schedule or an announcement date.
- You can skip the rest of the tabs if you'd like. A description is always good to include in case you want to direct your customer anywhere else, with any links or explanations of who to contact.
- Click on "Preview" in the top right corner to view the booking page and test how your customers will see this announcement.
To Make Changes to an Already-Created Announcement
- Go to the Calendars page and click on the timeslot with the announcement
- To edit the title of the announcement click on Edit listing at the bottom of the pop up and make the change.
- To edit the time slot, click on Edit time slot and make your change.
-
To delete the announcement click on Delete time slot and it will be taken off your calendar.
Note: If you try to find the Announcement in the Listings page you will have to click on "Show Inactive Listings", as announcements are inactive listings by design.
