Scheduling

One page for everything scheduling

Scheduling is now one page with three tabs — your two booking links side by side, your working hours, and the time nobody can book. Plus a QR code for your request link, a configurable booking window, and the option to skip confirming every request.

Scheduling had been living in two places. The Scheduling page held your time off and your public request link. Everything that actually decided when someone could book — working hours, inspection duration, buffer between jobs — was in Settings.

That split made sense to whoever built it and to nobody else.

Two doors, one calendar

The fix wasn't to move one into the other. It was to notice that the two booking links aren't two features — they're two doors into one availability engine.

So the page is now organised by how often you touch a thing:

  • Links change often. Both of yours now sit side by side, and the pairing does the teaching: the public request link is for a job you don't have yet, and the per-inspection booking link is for one you do.
  • Availability you set once. It's everything that used to be in Settings.
  • Time off & blocks changes weekly. Vacations, and the lunch you keep forgetting to protect.

Under both link cards is a strip of chips — your hours, how long a job takes, your buffer, your booking window, your timezone — and a way straight into the Availability tab. That strip is the load-bearing bit. Nobody should have to wonder which link a setting affects, because the answer is always both.

Settings → Account → Scheduling still works. Both edit the same thing, so anything you've bookmarked is fine.

Your public request link now has a QR code, downloadable as SVG for print — it stays sharp at any size — or PNG for everywhere else.

It goes on a yard sign, a business card, the back of a van. A phone camera opens your request page. If you ever generate a new link, remember to reprint.

Your booking window, your call

Minimum notice was fixed at 12 hours, and how far ahead clients could book was fixed at 45 days. Neither was ever a rule about inspections — they were placeholders.

Now they're settings. Minimum notice runs from none, if same-day work suits you, up to a week. Book up to runs from two weeks to six months.

This only limits what clients are offered. You can still schedule anything yourself, for tomorrow morning or next spring, from the inspection page.

Skip confirming, if you want to

Every booking has always been a request you confirm. For a lot of inspectors that's the right amount of control. For others it's a step that only ever produces one answer.

Turn Confirm before it lands on the calendar off and the time a client picks is booked immediately. You're told rather than asked — the notification and the email still arrive, and everyone who'd attend gets the confirmed time straight away.

This applies to per-inspection booking links only: jobs you created and sent the link for. Requests through your public link always wait for you, because anyone who finds that URL can use it.

Booking links were emailed to your clients, the buyer's agent, and any report recipients. Now Who gets the link by default lets you narrow that to your clients only, or your clients and the buyer's agent.

It's a default, not a rule — the recipient picker on each inspection still overrides it per job.
