The Bookly Staff Cabinet Add-on is an official WordPress extension designed for businesses that manage online bookings with the Bookly PRO appointment system and have multiple professionals on their team. Its main purpose is to give each staff member their own dashboard on the site's front-end, completely eliminating the need to access the WordPress admin panel.
With this tool, each employee can log in to their own Staff Cabinet and manage their appointment calendar in their preferred view mode: month, week, day, or list. From this dedicated interface, professionals can create, approve, reschedule, or cancel appointments autonomously, as well as update their personal information, services, prices, and scheduling preferences. They can also set their working hours, mark days off, and set special days, all without depending on the site administrator.
One of the most notable advantages is granular permission control. The administrator can decide which elements are shown to each team member and what actions they can perform. For example, it is possible to disable price updates in the services tab or enable a read-only mode for the calendar. This ensures that each professional only sees the information that corresponds to them and that overall business management remains organized and secure.
The add-on also allows exporting calendar information to a CSV file, facilitating data analysis and planning outside the platform. Its integration with Bookly PRO is complete, and initial setup takes only a few minutes: just install the plugin, create WordPress user accounts for each staff member, assign them from the Bookly panel, and add the corresponding shortcode or Gutenberg block on the desired page.
It is an ideal solution for beauty centers, clinics, consultancies, academies, and any business where daily coordination of bookings between administrator and team starts to become complicated. By delegating the management of their own schedule to each professional, the administrative burden on the central team is reduced, double-booking errors are minimized, and overall operational efficiency is improved.
In short, the Bookly Staff Cabinet Add-on transforms the way teams manage their appointments, offering autonomy, clarity, and control in a secure and easy-to-use environment.
