What's on the image
- The date, marked Today or Tomorrow when it is.
- The member's name and initials, when you filtered by a member.
- The free start times for that day, from now on, in your salon's timezone. Times that have already passed today are left out.
- Up to 12 times in the 9:16 format, or 9 in the 1:1 format. When there are more, the image shows how many more there are.
- No time slots available. when the day is full.
- A Book Appointment button with your booking link. If you filtered by member or location, the link opens booking for them.
The times come from your team's availability, the same way free times are worked out for booking. If you pick a day in the past, the image shows today instead.
Free times change as people book. Share the image close to when you post it, and let clients book through the link rather than by the time on the image.
