Booking Types - How do I set the system to take as an enquiry if I can’t auto-confirm?

← Settings - Booking Types FAQs

If a booking cannot be auto-confirmed, as you have no space, you can set Collins up to still take this as an Enquiry.


To set this up, go to Settings:

> Venues

> Select Venue

> Booking Type

> Select the relevant Booking Type

> Scroll down to “Auto-confirmed Areas”

> Tick the box “Still take enquiries for bookings if no available areas found”

> SAVE


   
 

Then, when a customer tries to make a booking at a time you are appearing as a full, Collins will


a) suggest alternative times within a three hour period of their original booking time if you have space and;

b) notify them that you are appearing as full at this time but offer to still proceed with their booking as an enquiry.
