Admin Superpowers: Create Bookings & Manage Your Calendar

Create bookings on behalf of customers, label calendar blocks, and get a clearer view of your schedule with new admin tools.

Online self-service booking is great, but not every reservation comes through the website. Phone calls, walk-ins, regulars who text you directly: admins need a way to handle all of these. Here's what's new on the admin calendar.

Create bookings for your customers

Select one or more time slots on the admin calendar, and a booking dialog opens. Enter the customer's name and email, review the pricing, and confirm. The booking is created and a confirmation email is sent to the customer automatically.

Need to book a slot that's technically closed? Toggle the "Override rules" option and closed slots become selectable. These are shown with a distinct amber dashed styling so you always know when you're overriding the schedule.

Booking detail panel

Click any booked slot on the calendar to open a slide-over panel with full booking details: customer name, email, phone number, payment status, and timestamps. From there you can cancel the booking or navigate to the full booking page.

No more searching through a list to find a specific booking. Just click the slot on the calendar.

Named availability blocks

When you close off time on the calendar, you can now attach a label: "Tournament", "Maintenance", "Private Event", or anything else. The label appears on both the admin and customer calendars, so everyone knows why a slot is unavailable, not just that it is.

Unlabeled closures still work the same as before, showing as regular closed slots. Labels are entirely optional.

Cleaner calendar with visual grouping

Multi-slot bookings (like a 2-hour court reservation) now display as a single visual block instead of separate individual slots. A subtle accent bar on the left connects them, making the calendar much easier to scan at a glance.
