Customize Booking or Cancellation Restriction Error Messages

Modified on Sun, 17 Dec, 2023 at 9:14 PM

When a client attempts to request a service in the client portal after the service request booking restriction, they will be prevented from sending the request. Instead an error message (which you can personalize) will appear informing the client they are unable to request the service.

Tip: Include a message to explain how to contact your office to enquire about last minute availability.

Note: This function DOES NOT support Merge Codes, so type in your contact details for the client to use.
