Turn Social Media Followers into Booked Clients
SchedulingKit doesn't connect to Facebook or Instagram accounts directly.
Instead, it gives you links that work anywhere: your booking site link, a direct link to each service, and staff profile links. Paste the booking link into your Instagram bio or link-in-bio page, set it as the website on a Facebook Page "Book Now" action button (configured in Meta's own settings), and add a service link to stories and posts that feature that service. Followers tap the link, see open times in their own time zone and book in their phone's browser without an app. Reminders, deposits and reschedule links then work exactly as they do for any other booking. There are no automated DM replies or per-platform booking reports; if you want to compare channels, share a separate service link per campaign or check your link-in-bio tool's click counts.
Put your SchedulingKit booking link where your followers already are, such as your Instagram bio, a Facebook Page "Book Now" button, stories and posts, so someone who likes your work can book in a few taps. Explore All Features.
