Prenoteca – Booking Requests

Prenoteca adds a booking request form to any page through a shortcode, and a simple list in your dashboard to manage what comes in. No account, no external service, no calendar sync you did not ask for.

It is built for the case most sites actually have: let people ask for an appointment, get notified, keep a record.

Good for:

• professional practices
• beauty salons and barbers
• consultants and freelancers
• small businesses taking appointments

What it does:

• Responsive booking form, added with a shortcode
• Booking list in the dashboard, filterable by date, status and professional
• CSV export of the bookings you filtered
• Email notification to the site administrator
• Optional confirmation email to the customer
• Notifications page to customise every email subject and text, with placeholders
• Available times, also different for each day of the week, managed from the Times and calendar page
• Optional booking statuses (new, confirmed, completed, cancelled), managed from the booking list; cancelled bookings free their time slot
• Optional cancellation link in the customer email: a personal, token-protected link to cancel the booking
• Optional reminder email to the customer the day before a confirmed appointment
• Optional minimum notice: set how far in advance (minutes, hours or days) a booking must be made
• Optional maximum booking window: set how far ahead (minutes, hours or days) customers can book
• Closing days: single dates, weekly closing days (for example every Sunday) and closing periods such as holidays
• No double bookings: times already taken are disabled in the form, accounting for service duration and breaks
• Daily booking limit
• Works with the WordPress privacy tools: personal data export and erasure, and suggested privacy policy text
• Optional “Book Services”: let customers pick a service (duration, break, short description, optional price), managed from the dashboard
• Booking manager role: lets a receptionist manage bookings, professionals and times without being an administrator
• Optional separate calendars: several professionals (for example the doctors of a clinic), each with their own calendar, working days, times and absences; customers pick one and only see that person’s free times

No external dependencies and no bloat. Only what you really need.
