Mediators: scheduling joint sessions with online booking

After the information meetings, joint sessions need a time both parties accept, a room that fits everyone and a clear date in writing. Proposing dates by phone to two people who aren't speaking to each other is slow. With Book, you book each joint session from your list once a date is agreed, with the number of people attending, and the date goes into calendars.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations are examples. Set your fees according to the rules that apply to you; an empty price is hidden.

Keep joint sessions off your public page. Once both parties agree on a date, create the booking from your bookings list. First and last name are enough, and you can set the number of people attending. With an email, that person gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Send the same date and details to the other party by email, so both have it in writing.

One booking page per business, no staff field: create session services per room, or per mediator if several work together. Slots of different services can overlap, so two rooms can host sessions at the same time.

For remote sessions, create a video session service and send your link to both parties by email: Book doesn't create video links.

Mediation may take several sessions. Book them one at a time as dates are agreed, or several ahead from your list. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, if you keep a fixed session time.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the booking from your list. Book doesn't email clients about changes, so tell both parties yourself. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

Book doesn't send invitations to several people, store agreements, take payments or send reminders. See the guide on the first information meeting. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
