A slot that really fits

Let your calendar show the possibilities.

Sovado checks free time and which services fit into it. Working hours, breaks, existing appointments, service assignments and buffers all count. You choose how far ahead a slot is considered last-minute.

  1. 01

    Sovado finds space

    Sophie has 45 minutes between two appointments. Cut & style fits into that slot.

  2. 02

    Choose how to communicate

    Offer the slot to clients with the right interest and consent.

  3. 03

    The client books

    Availability is checked again when the booking is saved. You see the appointment in your calendar.

Fits your everyday work

From free time to a relevant invitation.

Bring it to the right clients

Reach people who want to hear about it.

A client must have both last-minute interest and consent for the chosen channel. Select and promote suitable slots or set up automatic messages. Frequency limits help keep message volumes under control.

  • Check interest and channel consent.
  • Combine several suitable slots in one message.
  • Set a maximum number of messages per client.

Checked again

An offer is not a reservation.

Availability can change while a client reads the message. The slot is checked again when they open and confirm the booking. A slot that no longer fits is no longer offered as a valid option.

  • Check bookability again when selected.
  • Find campaigns and booking sources.
  • Distinguish filled or invalid slots from new opportunities.

Good to know before you start

A clear place in your plan.

Last-minute campaigns are part of the advanced automations in Complete. They cannot be added separately to Basis or Professional. Configure selection and sending. SMS usage is separate; there is no guarantee that every available slot will be booked.

Quick answers

Good to know.

Have a question about how this works in your salon? We’re happy to help.

Get in touch
Is this the same as a waiting list?

No. This module finds available capacity and notifies interested clients. A central waiting list with reserved preferences is not part of this feature.

Who receives a last-minute message?

Clients with last-minute interest and valid consent for the chosen channel, within the configured audience and frequency limits.

What if the slot is already gone?

Sovado checks availability again during booking. A previously offered slot may therefore no longer be bookable.

Do I have to offer a discount?

An available slot can be attractive on its own. Decide which offer suits your salon; you don't have to promise a guaranteed benefit or a lower price.
