Online booking
Customers see a free time and book it themselves
A booking page of your own. Share the link, add it to your website or put the QR code on the counter; the time they pick lands in your calendar.
Booked in four steps
No account and no app for the customer. It takes a minute on a phone or a computer.
-
Pick the services
Maintenance, tyres, diagnostics… Several can be picked together; only the services you offer appear.
-
Pick a day and time
Only times that are really free are listed. Swipe between days on a phone, use the arrows on a computer.
-
Enter their details
Name, phone, e-mail, plate, make and model. A note if they have one.
-
It is in your calendar
You are notified; the customer gets a confirmation e-mail with call and directions buttons.
The same hours as your calendar
The page keeps no calendar of its own; it reads yours in Autovena. An appointment you make in the workshop fills that time on the page, and a booking from the page shows in your calendar.
- Your working days, opening and closing hours
- How many cars you can take at the same time (parallel capacity)
- Times you have blocked and the appointments you already have
- The shortest notice you want before a booking
- Two people cannot take the last place at once; one gets it, the other is offered another time
Booked at once, or approved by you first
By default a customer who picks a free time is booked at once, linked to the customer and vehicle you already know or added as new. If it does not suit you, cancel it or move it; the customer is e-mailed. To see every request yourself first, switch to approval in Settings: requests wait in the inbox and the time is held meanwhile.
When the match is not certain — say the plate belongs to another customer — the booking is not made automatically; it waits for you. The decision always stays with you.
Wherever your customers are
Inside your website
Paste one snippet into your site; the form opens inside your page, takes your site's background and sizes itself to its content.
QR code
Put it on the counter, a business card or the bottom of an invoice; a phone camera opens the booking page.
Button
Add a "Book online" button to your site; the page opens in a new tab.
Guarded against abuse
A public page has to be protected from fake requests filling your calendar. You set the limits.
- Automatic bot protection; a script cannot fill in the form
- A daily maximum of online bookings
- A limit on upcoming bookings for the same person and the same car
- A sender marked as spam cannot book for 30 days, and the time is freed
- Optionally, no booking until the e-mail address is confirmed with a code
Customers manage their own booking
With the link in the confirmation e-mail the customer sees the booking and can cancel it up to the cut-off you set. When you move or cancel it, the customer is e-mailed. The page appears in the languages you offer in Settings.
Notifications go out by e-mail; no text messages are sent. Customers cannot move a booking themselves — they cancel and book another time, or call you.
Frequently asked questions
Does the customer need an account?
No. They enter their name, phone, e-mail and vehicle, and see their booking through the link in their e-mail.
Where do the free times come from?
From your working hours, parallel capacity, blocked times and existing appointments in Autovena. There is no second calendar to keep.
Can I use it without a website?
Yes. The page has its own address; sharing the link and using the QR code is enough.
What if a booking does not suit me?
Cancel it or move it in the calendar. The customer is e-mailed; ideally you call them too.
Can fake bookings fill my calendar?
Bot protection, a daily limit and a per-person limit on upcoming bookings prevent it. A booking you mark as spam is cancelled, the time is freed and the sender is blocked for 30 days.
