Book, Reschedule, or Cancel an Appointment
Manage appointments in your INCH web and mobile app.
There are 3 elements to every appointment: the provider, service, and customer. If your staff and services are already set up, it'll take only a few seconds to confirm a booking.
Booking an appointment (Mobile app)
Instructions are the same for both the INCH iOS and Android apps, although there may be subtle differences in terminology.
