Approve bookings manually (booking requests)

Last updated: 19 October 2026

Help center / Bookings

By default, bookings are confirmed immediately. If you prefer to approve each person yourself, turn off auto-accept.

Turn off auto-accept

1. Go to "Settings".
2. Untick "Auto Accept" and save.

Handle requests

1. People who book a free class now receive an email saying their request was received.
2. On the Dashboard, click the session in the calendar. New requests are listed under "Requests".
3. Accept or deny each request. Accepted people get a confirmation email.

Limitations

• Requests apply to free classes. Paid bookings are confirmed as soon as the payment succeeds.
