You can create a private event for VIP clients in vcita if you would like to send invitations to specific clients or manually register clients for the event, without making the event available for general scheduling.

Create a Private Event/Service

1. Go to the vcita Dashboard Settings>My Services.

2. Click on the service that you would like to be private.

3. Under Service Info>Online booking service menu

4. Uncheck - Show this service on the online booking Service Menu.

5. Click on Save to save your settings.

The service will no longer be on your main service menu.  None of the events created from this service will be available on the online scheduler for booking. They can be booked using the invitation link only. You can still use the "Grab Link" button for hidden services and share this link with your clients so that they can register for the event. Despite this service now being hidden from your service menu, the link will still provide direct access to the Online Scheduler for this service.

Create a Unique Private Event

If you just want to make a specific event private and not the whole service, you can adjust that option for the event. 

When you are setting the event on your vcita Calendar, check the Invitation Only option.

If the event already exists on your calendar:

1. Click on the event in your Calendar.

2. Click Edit.

3. Check the Invitation Only option.

Warning: Keep in mind that the reverse is not possible. A private event cannot be edited and made public again.

Invitation Link

Private events can only be booked using their unique invitation link.

To find the invitation link, click on the event in your Calendar.

You can then copy and paste the link in an email or in a conversation with a client you would like to invite.
