Description

The Bookly Special Days extends the Bookly calendar by creating schedule exceptions for specific dates, allowing you to set different times or completely block days such as holidays, seasonal events, and days off. Aimed at clinics, salons, offices and anyone who runs online bookings with Bookly, it addresses the need to adjust occasional availability without altering the standard weekly grid of professionals registered in the system.
