  4. Once the client record is created, ensure that you send them a log in link which will allow them to set up a password and access their account on your BookingTimes website. You do this by clicking the Send Login Email link that appears below their email. Once sent, you can also check the client's Messages tab to confirm they were emailed and that it was delivered to a valid email address.



Tip:  Avoiding duplicate clients and merging clients
Before adding a new client, check that they don't already exist in the system by searching for them first. Please refer to the article Searching for a client for more details.

If you do have duplicate clients, please see the Managing duplicate client accounts article which outlines how to merge client records.
Tip: Adding minimal client details
If you only have the First and Last name of a client, the system will allow you add the client after the following warning appears to ensure you wish for it to be added. Simply click the Add New Client image/link again.

Note: It's highly encouraged to also capture their mobile phone number and email address as soon as you can so any system automated correspondence and reminders can be sent to them and to assist you with follow ups and ensure the clients show up for any bookings.


Add new client warning


Tip: Adding international country codes
If you're adding an international number against a client, ensure that you add the "+" sign and the "country code" before the number.

For example, if you're in Australia and want to add a UK number, add "+44" first:

+44 12345 6789
