Another feature I’m excited to share with all of you is the new Online Booking process for Organizations/Schools! This feature, which is only available in the Professional version of myStratus desktop, allows you to send a special link to each client from within an organization or school. The link will automatically log them into their online booking portal. This now lets you customize each schools’ online booking process!
So, let’s say you’re photographing multiple schools that each have specific requirements for their student sessions. For example, maybe one school has an in-school portrait session and requires all students to book by the end of August, but then another school offers students the option of an in-school or in-studio session that must be booked by the end of July. With the new Online Booking for Organizations tool, you can set up both of those organizations with the requirements from each school.
To go with this new feature, there are some new additions to the Online Booking set up process:
- Organization Maintenance – Within the organization maintenance, there’s a new tab for online booking to set the specifications for that organization’s booking process.
- Time Slots – When you create your Time Slots, you can now assign them to a specific organization/school. So, when a client from that organization logs into online booking, they’ll only be able to book from those time slots.
- Form Letters/HTML Emails – We’ve added new merge fields for Online Booking into their own Online Booking pop-up menu. This way, the link you send to each client will automatically be customized so they can log into the organization they are associated with.
I’m thrilled to be able to introduce this feature as we continue to expand on our Online Booking process. We know how vital Online Booking is to so many of our studios, and it’s even more vital when you consider how many of you focus mainly on booking organizations/schools! With such a large quantity of clients to track, it really makes a difference to be able to streamline the booking process as much as possible.
