Booking page

With a booking page, an employer no longer has to text “are you free Saturday?”. They get their own link, pick one or more days, fill in times and a location, and you accept or decline the request in GigGuru.

Switching a booking page on

1. On the web, go to Settings → Employers.
2. On the employer, choose Activate booking page.
3. Copy the link under Booking page URL and send it to your employer.

Each employer gets their own link. To stop a link from working, choose Deactivate. A booking page is switched on from the web; in the iPhone app you can handle the requests.

What your employer sees

• Your blocked days and your fixed day off show as Unavailable. So you don’t need to pass on a holiday separately.
• With Show busy times on, the employer also sees when you are already booked. They see only a start and end time: never who you work for, where or what for. You switch this on or off per employer. It is off by default.

Handling a request

A request appears as a Request in your calendar and on your dashboard, and you get a notification on your phone. On the web you accept or decline it from your dashboard or on the employer under Settings → Employers; in the app through Settings → Booking requests.

• Accepting turns it into an ordinary gig, with that employer and their rate.
• If the request falls on a blocked day, you cannot accept it by accident.
• GigGuru also checks a request against your other gigs. If it overlaps, you hear about it.

Note

GigGuru does not send your availability back to your employer’s planning system. The booking page is where an employer sees when you are free.
