Add staff and schedules
Your staff are the team members who perform services and take appointments. Adding a staff member is a two-part job: create the person, then give them working hours — and, so clients can actually book them, assign them to the services they perform.
If you've renamed "staff" under Terminology, you'll see your word (e.g. "tutors", "providers") in the menus.
Add a team member
- Go to Staff in the sidebar and click Add Staff Member.
- Fill in the form:
- First Name and Last Name — required.
- Email and Phone — optional.
- Click Add Staff Member to save.
A few things to know:
- Adding a staff member does not send them an invitation or sign-in. It creates a record you manage; they don't need to log in to be scheduled.
- To change someone later, click Edit on their row. The edit form adds an Active checkbox — unchecking it hides the person from booking while keeping them in your list (shown as Inactive).
Set their weekly hours
- On the Staff list, click Schedule on the person's row. This opens their Weekly Availability.
- For each day of the week, tick Available and choose a Start and End time. Leave a day unticked to mark it off.
- Click Save Schedule.
If you reduce someone's hours or remove a day, you may see a yellow warning that existing appointments outside the new hours could be affected. It's a heads-up, not a block — review those appointments if needed.
Add time off or a one-off change
On the same schedule page, under Schedule Overrides:
- Click Add Override.
- Pick a Date.
- Either tick Unavailable entire day (for a day off), or leave it unticked and set a Start Time and End Time for different hours that day.
- Optionally add a Reason (e.g. "Vacation").
- Click Add Override.
Overrides take precedence over the weekly hours for that date. Remove one with Delete.
Make sure they're bookable
This is the step that's easy to miss. A staff member is only offered for online booking when all of these are true:
- They're Active.
- They have weekly hours set (at least one available day).
- They're assigned to at least one service.
Service assignment lives on the Services page, not here: go to Settings → Services, find the service, and use the Staff button on its row to assign who performs it. See Set up your services.
What's next
- Booking page settings — turn on online booking.
- Set up your services — assign staff to services.
