Can my client book more than one appointment at a time?

Each booking made through YouCanBookMe carries its own unique ID that is used to communicate with the booking and send any scheduled notifications. Due to this, each booking from your client needs to be made separately. You can add a pre-filled link that will help to speed up the process for additional bookings.

Follow this guide to add a pre-filled link to the Confirmation message, confirmation email, or even a cancellation email. When the booker clicks the link, they'll just need to select a time and the booking form will be pre-filled with the information used in their last booking. 

This feature is available on all plans. 

• Set your shorthand codes 
• Create your link 
• Encode when necessary
• Make the link clickable
• Pre-filled booking link example

Set your shorthand codes

The first step is to assign a shorthand code to each question on the booking form. Below are our default shorthand codes: 

• First name = {FNAME}
• Last name = {LNAME}
• Email = {EMAIL}
• Phone number = {PHONE} 

Each shorthand code will pull through the data your booker inputs when they make their initial booking. You will use each of these shorthand codes to construct a link that will pre-fill the booking form with that same data, saving time for their next booking.

Next, add the following booking link to the After Booking page confirmation message. You can also include this same link in your confirmation emails. 

Wrap the shorthand code in {ENCODE} to prevent the link from breaking. If there are any fields that your booker might potentially enter a space to prevent the link from breaking. For example, if you ask for their First and Last name in one line, you'll want to use {ENCODE} around the shorthand code you assign to that field. Wrap the {PHONE} code before and after with {ENCODE} to prevent it from breaking the URL.

The booking link for the shorthand codes listed above would be:

https://your-URL.youcanbook.me/?FNAME={FNAME}&LNAME={LNAME}&EMAIL={EMAIL}&PHONE={ENCODE}{PHONE}{ENCODE}

Finally, make the link clickable with a hyperlink. Add a phrase such as, "If you need to book another call, click here." Click the hyperlink icon to add the pre-filled link. 

Once completed, your booker can click that link to select their next day/time for an appointment. When the booker comes to the booking form, it is already filled out, all your booker has to do is click Confirm booking again!
