How To:  Create an Appointment in Daylite

 

When our clients book an appointment online - it does not automatically import into our database.  This tutorial will help you set everything up into our system so we can tack the progress, bill the client and make sense of our crazy lives.

 

How to Video:

This video will walk you through the steps to creating an appointment within our software.  All the steps are also listed below.

 
 

Step 1:  Email notification of booking

When a client books an appointment with us, we will receive an email notification with all the details of the appointment.  Our preference is you would receive these emails with Apple's Mail program.  By using Apple Mail you can create appointments and jobs within Daylite without ever having to leave Mail.

Example Email Notification
