Bookly Tasks Add-on — streamline unscheduled appointments and to-dos in Bookly
The Bookly Tasks Add-on helps service businesses handle requests that don’t need an exact date and time at checkout. Instead of forcing customers to pick a slot, you can capture the request first, manage it as a task in the Bookly backend, and then schedule it later or mark it done. This add-on plugs into Bookly Pro to add lightweight task management, to-do tracking, and skip-time booking flows inside your existing WordPress appointment system.
Why choose Bookly Tasks Add-on?
- Keep “to-do” style requests and unscheduled appointments in one place
- Let clients skip date & time selection on the front end
- Assign, track, and complete tasks directly from the Bookly Calendar or Appointments list
- Convert a task into a scheduled appointment when ready
- Send Email/SMS notifications when a task is completed
- Reduce back-and-forth and keep staff workflows tidy

How It Works (Admin & Staff)
- Capture the request: Customers book a service without choosing a time. The request lands in your Tasks/Unscheduled list.
- Manage the to-do: Staff review, assign internally if needed, add notes, or block time later.
- Complete or schedule: Mark the task done (and optionally notify the client), or convert it into a dated appointment with a few clicks.
Practical Use Cases
- Service inquiries & quotes: Collect details first, schedule a call or visit later.
- Field work & follow-ups: Create tasks for site checks, equipment prep, or customer callbacks.
- Internal to-dos tied to clients: Prep materials, confirm details, or arrange resources before locking a time.
- High-demand scenarios: When immediate time selection isn’t practical, keep the pipeline moving with task placeholders.
Benefits for Your Workflow
- Frictionless intake for requests that don’t fit strict time slots
- Cleaner pipelines by separating “needs action” tasks from scheduled appointments

- Happier clients thanks to clear updates and completion notifications
