id=\"Rebook_a_recent_pro_without_digging_through_past_bookings\"><\/span>Rebook a recent pro without digging through past bookings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When a client wants to book with someone they\u2019ve seen before, finding that pro should be quick.<\/p>\n<p>The Upcoming Bookings screen now includes a\u00a0<strong>Rebook Last Pro<\/strong>\u00a0section when there isn\u2019t an active booking to display. It brings recent pros closer to the start of the booking journey, making it easier to reconnect with someone familiar.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of searching through booking history, clients can start rebooking in a few taps.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_to_notify_favorite_pros_only\"><\/span>Choose to notify favorite pros only<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes a client wants the widest possible availability. Other times, they only want to hear from pros they already know and trust.<\/p>\n<p>Clients with saved favorites can now choose <strong>Notify favorites only<\/strong>\u00a0for an individual booking request. This keeps the choice tied to the booking where it matters, rather than making it a permanent account preference.<\/p>\n<p>The checkout experience also explains that limiting notifications to favorites may reduce availability or mean it takes longer for a booking to be accepted.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_out_when_new_pros_are_available_nearby\"><\/span>Find out when new pros are available nearby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Coverage can change as new pros become active in an area.<\/p>\n<p>Blys can now notify clients when new pros become available near their most recent booking location. Updates can include the pro\u2019s profile, service type and reviews, with a link to browse relevant profiles.<\/p>\n<p>Clients can choose how often to receive these updates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Immediately<\/li>\n<li>Weekly digest<\/li>\n<li>Monthly digest<\/li>\n<li>Off<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Monthly is the default, so the feature can be useful without creating unnecessary noise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"See_more_useful_information_on_pro_profiles\"><\/span>See more useful information on pro profiles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pro profiles now display the services each person offers.<\/p>\n<p>This gives clients more context while browsing and helps them understand whether a pro supports the type of booking they have in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Combined with ratings, reviews and profile details, the update makes it easier to compare options before starting a booking.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_notifications_together_inside_Blys\"><\/span>Keep notifications together inside Blys<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A new notification center brings important updates into the Blys experience.<\/p>\n<p>Clients can view in-app notifications on mobile and web, while pros can access them through the pro web experience. This gives people another way to catch booking and account updates without relying only on email, SMS or push notifications.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_pros_whether_a_massage_table_is_already_available\"><\/span>Tell pros whether a massage table is already available<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For eligible massage bookings, clients can now confirm whether a professional massage table is available at the booking location.<\/p>\n<p>They can indicate that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No table is available<\/li>\n<li>One table is available<\/li>\n<li>Two tables are available<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This gives the pro clearer information before accepting and preparing for the booking, while avoiding unnecessary equipment reminders when a table is already on site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Providers\"><\/span>For Providers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_service_areas_that_match_where_you_actually_work\"><\/span>Set service areas that match where you actually work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Real service areas don\u2019t always fit neatly inside a circle.<\/p>\n<p>Pros can now draw a custom shape on the map to show where they accept bookings. Multiple service areas can be added, edited or removed, using a mix of drawn areas and the existing radius option.<\/p>\n<p>These saved areas are used when matching pros with booking locations, helping reduce irrelevant requests while giving pros more control over where they work.<\/p>\n<p>If a pro attempts to accept a direct booking outside their saved area, a warning now makes that clear before they continue.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_an_SMS_when_a_payout_fails\"><\/span>Get an SMS when a payout fails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Payout problems need to be visible quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Pros can now receive a one-time SMS when a payout fails, in addition to the existing email and push notifications. The extra alert makes it less likely that an issue will be missed and helps pros take action sooner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Clients_and_Providers\"><\/span>For Clients and Providers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reply_directly_to_individual_messages\"><\/span>Reply directly to individual messages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Booking chats can contain several questions, updates and details at once. Replies now make it easier to keep the context clear.<\/p>\n<p>Clients and pros can respond directly to a specific message in a chat thread. The original message appears with the response, so everyone can see exactly what is being answered.<\/p>\n<p>The feature is available across the client and pro experiences on mobile and web.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Better_access_to_notes_after_Homecare_bookings\"><\/span>Better access to notes after Homecare bookings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Booking notes are now easier to access in Homecare workflows.<\/p>\n<p>Clients can view relevant notes in their account after they have been added by the provider. For Homecare bookings, the notes can also be sent automatically to the nominated support contact by email, making follow-up and record keeping simpler.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_improvements_are_on_the_way\"><\/span>More improvements are on the way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>May\u2019s releases focused on making repeat bookings easier, giving clients and pros more control, and keeping important information clearer throughout the booking journey.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out for the next monthly update to see what\u2019s new.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221;
