Assign staff members to your appointment services so clients can book sessions with the right people. You can let clients choose their preferred staff member, assign staff automatically based on availability, or set a default option for each service.
Every appointment service requires at least one assigned staff member. You can also customize how clients select staff during bookings to match your business needs.
