FluentBooking 1.5.10: Date Picker, Manual Confirmation Email Sending, Location Info, and More!

Hello guys!

I hope you all are enjoying your days. Guess what? My team can’t stop working hard! That might surprise you, but we are on a mission to make FluentBooking the go-to option for every appointment lover.

That being said, today we are back with another exciting FluentBooking release to provide you with more freedom and convenience in appointment management.

Ok then, let’s start exploring what’s new in FluentBooking 1.5.10!

New Date Picker Option for Date Field (Free)

Asking your attendees questions while making an appointment helps you provide personalized service. In FluentBooking 1.2.5, we added the date input field under Question Settings.

In this update, we have added a new date picker option for the date field. If you still don’t know how to use this field, just go to Calendars > Edit > Question Settings > Add more questions for invitees, then select the date field, configure everything according to your preference, and finally click Save.

Now when your attendee makes an appointment with you and gives input on the date field the new date picker option will appear from where he/she can select the date.

This will simplify the process of date selection and reduce the chances of error.

Appointment Rebook (Free)

If you are an admin, you can manually create appointments for your attendees. However, when creating an appointment manually, you need to input the necessary information yourself. But with the new rebook option, you can rebook an appointment for your attendee, and the information fields will be automatically filled.

Go to Bookings and select the meeting that you want to rebook. There you’ll find the option to rebook; just click on it and it’s done!

Time to save yourself from manual effort!

Manual Confirmation Email Sending (Free)

Appointment confirmation emails are crucial to ensure that both the meeting organizer and attendee receive instant updates and information about the upcoming meeting. However, there are cases when this automated notification process might not function properly.

If a confirmation email doesn’t reach the inbox, then a small chunk of your business growth is lost. We don’t want that to happen. That’s why we have added an option to send a manual booking confirmation email to the attendee.

The admin can easily track the email sending status and send a manual confirmation email to the attendee. Go to Bookings, check the email sent status for any particular event, and send a manual confirmation email to the attendee if it’s missed.

This way you can ensure your attendees never miss a confirmation email.

Improvements

The FluentBooking team is working continuously to polish this product and make it better with every update. In this update, we have added some major improvements, and I can’t wait to share them with you all.

Improved Conference Location Selection (Pro)

You might have noticed that when selecting your meeting location for conferencing, you faced hassles in selecting and configuring the video conferencing integrations. This was killing both your time and effort. But not anymore!

With this update, you can easily select and configure your virtual meeting location with a single click, saving you time and energy for productive work. When you create a new calendar, you’ll find a new link to configure your virtual meeting location.

Just a single click will take you to your preferred virtual meeting integration, where you can easily configure everything without much effort. Amazing, isn’t it?

Added Description in One-off Group Event (Pro)

In FluentBooking 1.5.0, we have added a new meeting type called “One-off Event.” The group event option can be used as a ticketing system.

However, in some cases, the meeting description wasn’t showing for group events. Therefore, the team has closely looked into this, and from now on, the meeting description will appear for every one-off group event.

So, why wait? It’s time to get started with your group events!

Improved Payment Method UI (Pro)

Currently, FluentBooking supports two major payment gateways: Stripe and PayPal. You can easily process payments for your paid events through these gateways, as well as Apple Pay and G-Pay.

We have made the booking payment page visually appealing and improved the UI/UX to ensure your clients enjoy a smooth and hassle-free checkout experience. Here’s a snapshot for you:

Wonderful! What do you think?

Added Location Info in Host View (Pro)

We have further added the location info in the host view to give your attendees a quick view of the meeting location. This way, your attendees can easily scan the meeting locations for any particular host. Here’s a snapshot of the location info:

Let’s give your attendees immediate access to location info!

Bug Fixes

Bugs are disgusting and can hamper the user experience, so we are always attentive to these issues. In this update, we have fixed a few bugs that some of our users encountered. Here’s the list for you:

• Fixed the slot interval issue
• Resolved the host email notification issue
• Addressed the holiday syncing issue
• Corrected the issue of group slots not being removed when the date is unavailable
