2. Set Booking Duration

  • Minimum Duration: Define the shortest allowable time for a booking.

  • Maximum Duration: Set the longest allowable time for a booking.

5. Book Whole Slot

  • Full Slot Booking: Require users to book entire time slots instead of partial ones, which helps in better resource management.

6. After Booking Behavior

  • Post-Booking Actions: Define actions that occur after a booking is made, such as sending confirmation emails.

  • Information for the User Displayed After Booking:

    Inform the user that the booking was successful. A clear and concise message like "Your booking was successful!" is ideal.

  • Usage Instructions

    Provide clear instructions on how to use the booked resource. This could include specific rules or guidelines that need to be followed.

  • Access Information

    Ensure the user knows how to access the resource. This could involve providing a code, arranging a key handover, or giving information about the meeting point.

  • Contact Information

    Provide contact options in case the user has questions or issues. This could be a phone number or an email address.

7. Blocking Other Resources When Booking

  • Avoid Double Bookings: Automatically block related resources to prevent double bookings or conflicts.

8. Calendar Synchronization

  • External Calendar Sync: Sync bookings with external calendars like Google Calendar and Outlook to streamline scheduling and avoid conflicts.

Plan-Specific Features

1. Upgrades

  • Plan Upgrades: Offer users the option to upgrade to different plans monthly and annually, providing access to additional features or resources.

2. Availability of Resources with a Certain Plan

  • Resource Access: Restrict the availability of specific resources to users on certain plans, ensuring that higher-tier plans have access to premium resources.

By utilizing these booking rules, coapp ensures that your resource management is efficient, organized, and tailored to meet your specific needs.
