Client confirmations show whether a booking has been acknowledged by the client. Each appointment has a **Client confirmation** state: **Unconfirmed** or **Confirmed**. This is separate from **Attendance** (Arrived / Missed / Canceled).

---

## How clients confirm

- After booking, clients receive a confirmation message (email and/or SMS) with a link to confirm their appointment.
- The client taps the link to confirm. The appointment updates to **Confirmed** automatically.

**Where you’ll see it**

- **Appointment panel:** Confirmation toggle. If confirmed (by client or staff), you will see **Confirmed at: \[date, time]**.

> **Info:**
>
> The **“Awaiting”** status you see in the image above relates to the appointment **Attendance** status, not Client confirmation.


- **Calendar:** Confirmed appointments show a **single tick** icon.

## Confirm (or unconfirm) manually

When to use: phone confirmations or front-desk confirmations.

You can set the confirmation state yourself from the appointment panel:

1. Open the appointment from **Calendar**.
2. In the appointment panel, turn **Client confirmation** **on** to mark **Confirmed**, or **off** to return it to **Unconfirmed**.
