Unassisted Booking: Mini Sessions

  • Live

Nicole from Táve

With this project, we'll add a new set up wizard that makes it easier to set the dates, locations, and time slots available for mini sessions. We'll also add a more intuitive display of the bookings and available slots for a given day.


Estimated: Monday, August 26th, 2024

Love this update!!
** Request for future updates: would be great to keep the "Hold" spots and "Booked" spots visible on the booking page, as this accelerates sales for mini sessions. It gives clients an urgency to book if they see that many spots are already booked.

The database changes could not be applied in-place, so we have to take a 15 minute maintenance window at noon Eastern on Saturday, and then will publish the Mini Sessions release Monday morning. Sorry for the delay!

We're just a couple of days away now. Our project board has only 3 open issues blocking the release. Check out the Mini Session availability screenshot above for a preview of just one of the many new features in this release.

Update: We're good for release tomorrow!

From an engineering perspective, we're done, but we have some team members out this week that I'd like to have review it before it's released... so my hope is to release mini sessions next week!

Unfortunately we wont be able to use this for 2024 holidays as we sell our holiday minis in july, however we hope to be able to use this for our spring minis for 2025. Thank you for your hard work on this.

Are we close? I see you posted on Facebook that'll be a week out? This is something we've been waiting for along time and we need it to simplify the booking process of our Mini sessions

Would it be possible to share why this keeps getting delayed. In February it said eta was March, and each month the timeline slips. I totally understand that will happen, but could you possibly provide insight as to why? We are super excited for this feature, can't wait!

Hi Jamie. Unfortunately we had a number of unexpected things come up that had to take priority (such as implementing Custom SMTP because of Gmail/Yahoo issues). The good news is we're making good progress again!

Wes from Wes Craft Photography

I'm currently using calendly to book mini session events but would love to drop that subscription and do it all in Tave. The reentry of 40 clients and their payments into Tave from calendly is a PITA.

Jackie from JacPfef

desperate for this

Maddie from Maddie Blecha Photography

Hi there! Any update on when this might be ready to launch? I'm ready to announce my mini session dates, but would prefer to wait until I can also share the booking link!

Gina from Gina Gallagher Photography

Will this work along with the existing scheduling features? Or will I have to choose between setting up minis and taking "regular" appointments? Hoping it will be both!

Megan from Torres Fine Art Photography Studios

With this or on the current booking availability I would love to see an option to limit the number of available sessions. This would work great as an option under "booking limits"


Avatar

Jamie from Capturing Time Photography - Portraits

That is already a feature. Check the bottom of the "Availability" section in the bookable event.

I was trying to do more along the lines of taking in whoever signs up but only allowing the first 6 to book with payment.

Nathan from Nathan Bingle Photography

I’m excited about this and I will definitely try it but I will say that I just switched from Acuity to usesession and my mind is blown. Everything about usession is perfect right now. I’m even using it for a rather large event next month. 2000 fencers for the junior olympics. I can only hope that Tave’s version will be as nice. I’m hopeful.


L

Lauren from Lauren Rathbone Photography

I almost gave up on tave and went to usesessions. The only thing that held me back was a lack of a CRM. but honestly, Tave has been improving I am willing to wait it out another year. So far I am happy with the changes.

Kate from Kate Wiggins

Yes , this would be great

Would be great to have this as an easier set up than doing manually through existing scheduling tool. Thanks. Looking forward to it!

Trayce from Trayce Gregoire Photography

How is this different from a regular booking? What can't mini sessions just be booked on the regular unassisted booking page with set time slots? Am I missing something? :)


Avatar

Adrian from Táve

You can definitely book mini sessions using scheduling today!

What this will do is make it easier to have predefined time slots, including adding breaks, in a way that can be much more intuitive and easy to set up than trying to get the logic right with start increments and buffer times.

It's basically a wizard that helps you create and review the time slots in advance rather than them being auto generated, with some tools to make that easy. It also improves the reporting, for example we'll show a table with the time slots you're offering and who has booked which, if any are in the process of being booked, etc., rather than just a list of everybody who has ever booked the event.

Would be a great feature to have for the one or two times per year that I book mini sessions.

Any idea on the time frame? I ask because this next “season” is always revamping and backend work and I would like to know roughly so I can plan accordingly.
