What it does
Many businesses deliver services as a team. A salon visit might involve a stylist and a colorist, and a medical visit might need more than one specialist. With a standard booking setup, clients have to piece these together as separate appointments, and staff schedules can clash. This add-on solves that by tying multiple staff members to one appointment, so the client books once and the team's time is reserved together.
The add-on works inside your existing Bookly setup. You define service combinations that involve different staff, and the system checks each team member's availability to avoid double bookings. Services can run in sequence or overlap, which helps keep the total appointment length sensible. Clients receive combined notifications listing every booked service and the assigned staff, and admins can reschedule collaborative appointments from the backend when plans change.
Best for
- Salons with teams of stylists and colorists
- Medical practices offering multi-specialty visits
- Spas and wellness centers running team-based treatments
Features
Multi-staff appointments
Book several staff members for one appointment so each part of a team-based service has the right person assigned to it.
Single booking session
Clients select and book all the services they need in one session, rather than making a separate booking for each staff member.
Availability syncing
Staff schedules update automatically when a collaborative appointment is booked, which helps prevent double bookings across the team.
Custom service combinations
Group different services and staff members into combinations that match the way your business actually delivers its offerings.
Combined notifications
Clients get notifications and reminders that list every booked service and the staff assigned to it, all in one message.
Sequential or overlapping services
Coordinate services that happen one after another or at the same time, so the overall appointment length fits the work involved.
Backend rescheduling
Administrators can reschedule appointments that include collaborative services directly from the backend when a change is needed.
Staff roles and permissions
Assign roles and permissions to staff members to keep service coordination clear and make it obvious who handles what.

Questions about Bookly Collaborative Services
Does this work on its own or do I need Bookly?
It is an add-on for the Bookly booking system, so it works alongside your existing Bookly setup. It adds collaborative appointment features on top of the booking tools you already use, without requiring complicated configuration.
Can clients book services from different staff in one go?
Yes. Clients can select all the services they need in a single booking session, and each service is assigned to the relevant staff member. The appointment is treated as one combined booking instead of several separate ones.
How does it avoid scheduling conflicts?
Staff schedules update automatically when a collaborative appointment is booked, so availability stays accurate for each team member. This helps prevent double bookings, and services can be arranged to run sequentially or overlap as needed.
Can I change a collaborative appointment after it is booked?
Yes. Administrators can reschedule appointments that include collaborative services directly from the backend. This is useful when a staff member becomes unavailable or a client asks to move their visit to another time, since the whole combined appointment can be adjusted from one place.
