Rebook portal settings

Purpose: Personalize the business contact details displayed on the customer contact pop-up for help and support. Additionally, set the access roles that get notified when a customer changes/cancels an appointment.

Allowing customers to self-manage their appointments dramatically improves efficiency and productivity while eliminating time spent on the phone. Customers can rebook or cancel their appointment on PC, laptop or mobile device when convenient from a link in the Job confirmation email.

 

Prerequisites

Self service portals in Commusoft use smart scheduling to show available dates and times to customers when they book their jobs. These settings ensure that customers self service journies are not interrupted when trying to book:

This feature is available on Customer Journey and above.

Customers can rebook/cancel appointments up until the mobile user taps travel on the existing event.
