Questions

Something else on your mind? Email support@diaryportal.com and we’ll get back to you.

The moment a slot opens, the five best matches on your waitlist get a text with a link. The first to tap it is booked, deposit and all and the others are told it has gone. If nobody takes it within 30 minutes, the next five are asked.

Try it with your own week.

Set up your services, open your booking page and see what a cancellation does.
