Booking requests

When someone fills out the "Book Your Visit" form on your Slava website, it lands here first — as a request, not yet a confirmed appointment.

Why this matters

A website visitor filling in their name and desired time isn't the same as a real, held calendar slot — someone still needs to check that time is actually free and confirm it. This step exists so nothing gets double-booked, and so you have a chance to call a client back if their preferred time doesn't work.

How it works

Every request carries one of four statuses, and you can filter the list by any of them:

PendingA new request, not yet actioned.
ContactedYou've reached out to the client but haven't confirmed a slot yet.
ConvertedTurned into a real, calendar-holding appointment.
DismissedNot moving forward — spam, a duplicate, or a client who didn't respond.

Handling a request

  1. Open Bookings

    Requests appear at the top, newest first.

  2. Check the requested time

    See what the client asked for.

  3. Convert or contact

    If the time works, convert it straight into an appointment — Slava checks real availability for you. If you need to call first, mark it Contacted.

  4. Confirm the slot

    Converting a request opens the same booking flow as a manual booking, so you can adjust the time if needed before confirming.

  5. Dismiss if it's not going anywhere

    Keeps your list clean without deleting the record.
