Bookedin’s New Calendar Photos Feature Makes Multi-Staff Scheduling Easier
When your service business team is larger than a couple of people, managing calendars can get confusing fast. Surely, you’d want to avoid bloopers like double-bookings, overlapping breaks, or team members with similar names or initials getting mixed up.
What if we told you that Bookedin now has something to help eliminate that confusion? Say hello to the Calendar Photos feature: the latest update that makes your team’s schedule a lot easier to check at a glance!
With the Calendar Photos feature, you can personalize every staff member’s photo. These photos will then display on your Bookedin calendars, booking page for clients, and anywhere you manage staff schedules.
Not only does this make scheduling smoother for your team, but it also makes for a more seamless booking experience for clients. When staff photos match what clients see on your booking page, they can put a face to the name — even before they arrive for their appointment or class.
And in case you were wondering: Yes, the Calendar Photos feature is available on both web and mobile. So, whether you’re in the shop or on the go, you can spot the right staff member in your calendar instantly.
How To Add Calendar Photos on Bookedin
Follow these steps to set up Calendar Photos on Bookedin:
- Log in to your Bookedin account. (If you don’t have one yet, sign up for free first.) Also, if you’re using the app, make sure it’s updated to the latest version.
- Go to Settings. Then, click or tap Calendars.
- Select which Calendar you want to edit.
- Tap or click the display photo icon at the top, right above the Name field.
- Upload an existing photo. You can also take a new one with your camera, if you’re on the mobile app. Either way, we recommend choosing photos with good lighting and a neutral background.
- Crop the photo to a circle. Make sure to adjust the crop so the face is centered and fills most of the frame.
- Tap Done (on mobile app) or click Save (on web browser) to apply these latest changes.
- Repeat this process for other team members’ Bookedin calendars — or have them update their own Calendar Photo!
