Putting the widget on your site
The embed snippet, your short public booking address and the plain link — and how to revoke one.
Your booking link and the ways to publish it are at Bookings → Settings. The panel is admin only — it hands out the link that lets the public put appointments in your diary, and switches the whole thing on and off.
Three ways to publish it
| Where | Use |
|---|---|
| Inside a page on your own website | The copy-paste embed snippet |
| A social profile, email signature or Google listing | The plain link |
| Something you read out or text to someone | /at/your-shop/book, if you have claimed a public page |
The snippet puts the booking form inside a page on your own site; the plain link is for anywhere an embed does not fit. Both carry your shop's booking link. The third is the same form again at a shorter, readable address that sits alongside your shop details — see Your public page and Bookings on your page.
Regenerating mints a new booking link and the old one stops working immediately. That is how you kill a link that has leaked — and it also means anyone still serving the old snippet on their site has to paste the new one, or their form goes dead.
Confirmations
Email confirmations go out through your own mail settings, at Settings → Email / SMTP. If email is not set up, the booking is still taken — all you miss is the confirmation. SMS goes through your own Twilio account, the same one the repair status messages use, so Twilio bills you directly. You can also nominate an address to be told whenever a booking arrives. See Email and SMTP and SMS provider.
Spam
A public form on the open internet gets found by bots. Four layers sit in front of it, none of which a real customer ever notices: a hidden field only a bot fills in, a signed token proving the page was actually loaded before the form was submitted, checks on what was typed, and Cloudflare Turnstile where the operator has configured keys.
Obvious spam is accepted and discarded rather than shown an error, so a bot gets no feedback about what tripped it and nothing lands in your diary.
The booking page carries a no-index instruction. It is one shop's private embed address, not a page that should turn up in search results — so send customers to it from your own site rather than expecting Google to find it.
