Appointment statuses explained

What each appointment status means, and when it changes.

2 min read

The statuses

The appointments overview with its different status badges

Every appointment has a status saying where the booking has got to.

Pending

The appointment exists but is waiting to be confirmed. That happens when:

  • You have set manual approval for new bookings
  • The customer has not paid yet and payment is required

You get a notification so you can confirm or decline it.

Awaiting email verification

The customer has been sent an email with a verification link. As soon as they click it, the status becomes Confirmed.

Confirmed

The appointment is settled. The customer has had a confirmation email. Both you and the customer can still change or cancel it.

Cancelled

The appointment was cancelled, either by you or by the customer. A cancelled appointment stays visible in the overview, but no longer holds its time slot.

No-show

The customer did not turn up. You can set this status by hand. A no-show does not hold its slot either, and is counted separately in your analytics.

Changing a status by hand

Changing the status in the appointment detail panel

You can change an appointment's status yourself from the appointment detail page. Click the appointment and pick the status from the dropdown.
