# How do I book a client (or clients) every week at the same time?

Programmes should only be used if you know all of the times and dates for a service, for example every Tuesday at 9am.

To invite a client to a regular time slot you should create a programme for that client following the steps below:

1. Select Add new service – the purple button on the side bar.
2. Select Service type: **Programme**
3. Enter a service name – If it's for just one or two clients I’d recommend entering a title with their names eg. Lessons for Fran and Janet
4. Select payment method – Require payments via app or Allow outside app payments

5. Switch **Bookable by invite only** to **Yes**\
   a. To invite a **new** client enter their email address, first and last name of your client(s):<br>

6. Set the day, start time, and start date, and choose whether you want your client to Pay for all occurrences at once or pay as they go - either way, all of the days and times you select will be blocked out for them in your calendar:<br>

7. A new client will receive an email like this:

   <figure><img src="https://2899632634-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQGETajdcxecrar4lUBE%2Fuploads%2FtU32QBhWSPWKZVqbvFyK%2FScreenshot%202024-07-17%20at%201.55.36%20PM.png?alt=media&amp;token=6bba59b8-8b54-4795-8cf2-cb5f58655366" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
8. An existing client invited to a programme that is **Pay all at once** will receive an email like this:<br>

   <figure><img src="https://2899632634-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQGETajdcxecrar4lUBE%2Fuploads%2FvIX74ODomzr5pPtdunMU%2FScreenshot%202024-07-23%20at%205.17.19%20PM.png?alt=media&amp;token=f527b6f4-52e9-4861-a72c-0b51eaca0fe3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
9. The service will appear in your calendar immediately - your calendar is now blocked an no one else can book at this time.\
   The participant counter will show as 0/1 if no one has booked yet:&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://2899632634-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAQGETajdcxecrar4lUBE%2Fuploads%2FvrOJbEdCujjpMS7Ts7xt%2FIMG_D8F4FDF18A2F-1.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=0c718d99-bdca-4f76-a096-46e89b6cb345" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

10. When the client has booked, the tile will turn to green and the participant counter will change from 0/1 to 1/1 - so the service is fully booked. \
    Note: If the max participants is 2 then the counter will change from 0/2 to 1/2 when one client has confirmed.<br>

11. You will also receive a confirmation email:&#x20;

10. If you want to create a similar service for a different client you could go to your services page, find the service you just made under Programmes and select the Copy button. The information will be auto-filled, you just need to change the fields that need changing, so this is a time saver.\ <br>
