How to create different schedules for services
It is possible to set up different schedules for service providers, and to connect service providers to specific services. That's why to set different schedule for service:
1. Please go to Manage // Service providers // Add service providers button and create providers for each of your services.
2. Then please in Manage // Service providers click on clock icon and set schedule for your providers.
3. Then please go to Manage // Connect service providers to services and drag and drop boxes with providers to corresponding boxes with services
4. Not necessary step. You now have Employee step on the booking page. To skip it please use Any employee selector plugin with checked "Hide other service providers from booking interface" option.
For example, you have two services "Children" and "Adults" and you create two service providers "Children tutor" and "Adults' tutor" (even if there is only one performer for both services in reality). Then you relate each service to corresponding service provider (Children-Children tutor, Adults-Adults' Tutor) and set up working days for Children tutor to Monday and Wednesday and for Adults' tutor to Tuesday and Thursday.
How to add buffer time to services
Please go to Manage // Services // Pen icon and
1. Change Service duration to Actual duration + buffer time.
2. Press Hide duration link.
3. Put actual duration to Service name.
How to remove feedback requests
Go to Settings // Configuration, and set Feedback to Disable. Then nothing is sent.
You can also keep the Feedback email sending, but in Settings // Email and SMS settings, go to Feedback email and use it as a simple thank you email and remove any feedback request from it.
How to remove Phone field from booking form
Please go to Plugins // Plugins and enable Custom CSS plugin. Then in plugin's Settings or in Design // Custom CSS paste to Booking page CSS window the following code:
.phone-element.form-title, .phone-element.form-element {
display: none;
}
This code works for theme: Clean slide

Zap tutorial SimplyBook and Gmail
We are often asked how to send confirmation email to more than one email address. It may be needed if client has an agent or if some other people need to receive confirmation letters for clients or service providers. Now this option becomes available with our new application on Zapier!
Firstly, create an additional field for the 2nd recipient in admin Simplybook app with the help of “Additional Fields” plugin.
After creating an additional filed, you will see the variable name. In the picture, it is additional_field_2 (but it can be additional_field_1, additional_field_3…). This variable will contain the alternative email address needed for synchronization with Gmail. Then create a test booking on your Simplybook booking page. It is needed to notify the system that the new additional field was created in the system and is ready for further usage.
When Simplybook preparations are over, it is time to switch to Zapier settings. If you don’t have Zapier account yet, please register and add Simplybook to your list of applications. Detailed instructions, invitation link and examples are here http://blog.simplybook.me/zap-a-new-functionality-to-simplybook-me/ . After that, press “Make a New Zap”.
Next, you will need to connect your SimplyBook account.
Verify your Simplybook account.
Connect and verify your Gmail account.
You can filter SimplyBook events if needed.
In “Match up Simplybook booking to Gmail Email” select recipients of notification and select the variable of your recently created additional field. Please note, that your client will receive 2 email notifications, one from Simplibook (sent immediately) and one from Zapier (is sent in 5 minutes after booking). You may disable email notifications for clients in Simplybook Settings//Email and SMS settings by unchecking the corresponding boxes.
Then enter notification text and press “Continue”. You can create more detailed and rich notification than the one on the example by adding text and using variables from the list.
Test your newly created Zap.
Name it and turn this Zap on.
Check this Zap in the Zap list.
Congratulations, you have created a new connection that will send the copies of confirmation emails to various recipients!
