Direct Link to a Staff Member
Step 1: Open Your Online Booking Page
Go to Manager > Settings > Online
Click the Copy Link button in the Online booking direct link section.
Paste the link into the address bar (at the very top of your internet browser) and press Enter. This will open your normal online booking page.
Copy & Paste Tip
To quickly paste the link:
On a Windows Computer: Press Ctrl+V to paste
On an Apple Mac Computer: Press Command+V to paste.
Step 2: Get the Link for Your Staff Member
Once you're on your normal Phorest Online Booking page, go to Make an appointment > Staff, and click on the Staff Member whose booking link you would like to retrieve.
Copy your staff member's direct link from the top of your web browser.
You can now paste this link anywhere (e.g., Instagram/Facebook) to direct clients to an online booking with this specific staff member.
Note: The link is quite long, so we recommend using a third-party URL shortener (e.g., bitly.com) to shorten it.
Direct Link to the Staff Selection Page
If you prefer your online booking flow to begin with your clients selecting a staff member first, rather than a service first, you can link directly to the staff selection screen by using the URL below, and replacing YOURPHORESTSUBDOMAIN with the subdomain from your own Online Booking link.

You'll find your subdomain at the end of your regular online booking link.
