Start a booking from the calendar

The fastest way to sell specific nights is to start from the nights themselves. Selecting free cells on the calendar opens a panel with every way to turn them into a stay.

Screen /calendar · Roles: Point of Contact, Booking Manager, Airbnb Manager, Co-Host, Admin (inquiry) · Booking Manager, Airbnb Manager, Admin (direct booking)

  1. Select the nights. Tap a free cell on a unit’s row, then a second cell to complete the range - or drag across the nights. Drag vertically too, to take the same dates on several units at once. The panel slides in from the right and the grid stays live: tap more cells to move or extend the selection.

  2. Choose the door. For a single unit:

    • Start an inquiry (book these nights) - the full funnel: quote, payment link, proof, verification. Right when the guest is still deciding. (This is also how nights end up held.)
    • Book directly (skip the funnel) - a confirmed, already-paid stay in one form: a walk-in, a phone booking, or a historical record. Availability is still guarded on save.

  3. Or book a group. Selected several units? The panel offers Start a group booking - one guest, several units, one payment, created all-or-nothing (if one unit is unavailable, none are booked) - and Start a group inquiry, which quotes all the units as one deal and walks the funnel.

  4. Finish in the wizard. The inquiry or booking wizard opens with the units and dates already filled from your selection; add the guest and the money and save.
