Running a business means finding tools that work for you—not the other way around. That’s why we’ve been busy creating features to make YouCanBookMe even better for your business.
In our recent webinar, we unveiled 13 new tools designed to simplify workflows, boost revenue, and customize your booking pages.
But we didn’t stop there. Since the webinar, we’ve added two more exciting updates:
That brings us to a total of 15 new features ready for you to explore today!

We know you’ve been asking for these! At YouCanBookMe, your feedback guides our product updates, and while we can’t tackle every request, we focus on features that deliver the most impact.
Here are the three most requested updates, now live in your account.

Ever found yourself wishing you could jot down key details for a meeting, right where your bookings live? Now you can! With the new notes feature, you can easily document follow-ups, client preferences, or team updates—all in one place.
This feature is super useful if you want to record important details directly in your booking dashboard or share notes with your team for better collaboration.
By the way, you can also sync these notes to tools like HubSpot and Zapier for a seamless workflow!
Sometimes you need a way to prevent unwanted bookings—whether it’s from spammers, problematic clients, or bots. For example, if you’re a personal trainer, you might want to block a client who repeatedly cancels last minute or doesn’t show up. These disruptions not only waste your time but can also throw off your entire schedule.
Now, you can block specific emails or entire domains from booking a meeting with you. Cool, huh?
Thanks to this feature, you are able to:
If you’re a Chrome user, this one’s for you. The YCBM Chrome extension (by the way, we’ve had it for a while—we just made it even better!) makes it easy to manage your bookings right from your browser. You can check your upcoming appointments, create one-time booking links, or suggest times in an email—all without switching tabs.
For instance, if you’re a sales rep sending emails all day, you can instantly add booking links for clients without interrupting your workflow.
As Ben from our team put it, “I use the Chrome extension every day for everything—booking links, suggested times, and now even seeing all my upcoming appointments in one place.”

Business is about making money. Otherwise, it isn’t a business, right? To help you do just that, we’ve added a few features that make it easier to boost your bottom line.
Have you always wanted to run promotions or offer special prices? We made it happen!
You can now provide your clients with promo codes for discounts, packages, or special offers—whatever suits your business. These can be full discounts, partial ones, or limited-time deals, and you can set them up directly in Stripe.
For instance, you could offer 10% off to first-time customers or create a discount for clients booking multiple sessions at once.
As a bonus, you can also send out automatically customized Stripe receipts for a professional touch.
Upselling just got easier with our newest feature—add-on appointments.
Add-on appointment types let you offer extra services or products during the booking process, giving clients more options while helping you earn more.
Let’s say you’re a fitness instructor—you might offer supplements or meal plans as optional add-ons. If you’re a designer, you could include extra digital deliverables, and if you’re a hairstylist, you might let clients add a drink or a premium treatment to their booking.
Essentially, anything you offer that doesn’t require additional time can be added as an option for upselling.
We know your clients are always on the go, so we’ve made paying for appointments easier than ever. With Google Pay and Apple Pay now available through Stripe, your bookers can confirm their payments with just a tap—right from their mobile devices.
For example, if you’re a hairdresser, your clients can quickly pay for their in-salon treatments while booking from their phone. No fumbling with cards or long payment forms. It’s fast, convenient, and exactly what today’s clients expect.
Plus, more payment options mean fewer barriers for your clients and more confirmed bookings for you.

Moving on, let’s talk about something every business owner loves—making admin work easier. We’ve added five new tools to help you streamline your workflow, reduce manual tasks, and scale your bookings.
We’ve taken our YCBM Zapier integration to the next level. Before, you could only use three triggers to start automations. Now, there are 12 triggers, giving you more ways to connect YouCanBookMe with your favorite apps.
You can set up automations for tentative bookings, confirmations, reminders, reschedules, no-shows, follow-ups—anything you can imagine. You can tailor it to your business needs and connect all your apps to basically run while you’re sleeping.
Keeping your CRM up to date can often feel like a full-time job. That’s why we’ve introduced a HubSpot integration to take the load off your shoulders.
Now, every time a client books a meeting, their info—meetings, notes, and all—flows straight into HubSpot, no manual updates are needed.
Once you set it up, it runs on autopilot. This saves you time and ensures you always have the information you need, right where you need it.
Apple users, you’ll love this! You can now sync YouCanBookMe with your Apple Calendar to pull in availability from all your iCloud calendars.
Once it’s set up, any busy events on your Apple Calendar will block off time on your booking page automatically, helping you avoid double bookings and keep your schedule in check.
If your booking emails used to get lost somewhere in the virtual universe and never reached your bookers, our recent improvement should fix that! We now send booking notifications directly through Microsoft Outlook, ensuring emails like confirmations and reminders land in your clients’ inboxes.
You can also see all notifications in your Outlook sent folder, giving you a clear record of everything sent. If you’ve ever worried about emails being blocked by security settings, this integration takes care of that.
We’ve also introduced powerful new analytics tools to give you a clear picture of how your bookings are performing.
With the new dashboard, you can track total bookings, cancellations, and no-shows, and even see which booking pages are the most popular. If you notice a lot of cancellations, it’s easy to adjust policies or add reminders (like SMS messages) to improve attendance.
But that’s not all. You can now integrate it with Google, Meta, and LinkedIn to track where your traffic is coming from and gain marketing attribution insights.
By passing UTM parameters, you can measure the success of your campaigns—whether they’re ads, search engine efforts, or email marketing.
Your business is one of a kind, and your booking page should reflect that. To help you stand out, we’ve introduced two features that let you customize your booking page even further.
Now, you can personalize the messages your clients see when your booking page is offline or an event’s end date has passed.
To illustrate, you might add a note letting clients know you’re on vacation, include a link to a waitlist, or redirect them to another page.
There are now not one, not two, but three ways to embed your booking page on your website:
We’ve also added one feature to help you jazz up your booking page and another to give your clients the freedom to choose how and where they want to meet.
Look, we believe your booking page should reflect your brand and personality. That’s why we’ve introduced new background customization options—because we want your booking link (and business) to stand out and leave a lasting impression!
Choose from three options to match your style:
The best part? These customizations automatically adjust for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, ensuring a professional look everywhere.
So, whether you're a photographer, consultant, or coach, this feature helps you create a booking page that feels unique, professional, and aligned with your brand.
The location dropdown feature gives your clients the flexibility to choose how and where they want to meet.
Whether it’s an in-person meeting, a virtual call via Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or even a phone call, they can select their preference right on the booking form.
For in-person appointments, you can add a physical address, which converts into a Google Maps link in the calendar invite.
Here it is—15 brand-new, game-changing features designed to make YouCanBookMe more powerful, flexible, and tailored to your needs.
As we mentioned at the start, if you have an idea for what we should build next, we’d love to hear it! Submit your feature requests and help shape the future of YCBM.
