Insights
Customer Traffic Insights
We are excited to provide more data for admins and managers about how busy their locations are.
Use this new insights report to see your busiest days of the week, busiest times of the week, and traffic for specific times.
View data week by week for a specific location. View all services, or a specific service at that location.
Use the gear icon to adjust the view between Appointments and Walk-ins, Just Appointments, or Just Walk-ins.
View future weeks to predict how busy a location will be with Appointments.
We have a new Walk-ins by Channel Booked insights report that allows you to see the source of a walk-in (Kiosk, Lobby View, or Online Queue). Walk-ins will show the source as “Unknown” if they occurred before we started tracking this information.
The new Walk-ins by Meeting method shows if the walk-in was at a physical location, or a phone call booked through the Callback Service.
Lobby management
We’ve added support for tracking UTM parameters walk-ins booked through the online queue. Add these parameters to your channels (QR codes, marketing website) that link to the online queue page. Track Source, Medium, Campaign, Term, and Content.
Data pertaining to the UTM parameters for walk-ins can be exported from the /queue/history/ page.
Improvements
Admins can now choose to sort staff lists alphabetically by first name
Lobby Management
We are making the Lobby TV view work better on small screens. If your screen resolution is smaller than 1080p you will now see a different layout that is easier to read on a small screen.
Online Queueing
We now show the location name on the online queue page so that the customer knows they are joining the queue at the right location.
Tracking
We are adding support for Google Analytics 4. Since Google Analytics 4 no longer uses the universal analytics property, if you plan to use this functionality please get in touch and we’ll get everything set up with the new Google Analytics 4 Property.
Reporting
In previous releases we have added support for passing UTM parameters for booking appointments. In this release, we are adding the ability to export those parameters in custom reports.
When your staff starts and ends an appointment or a walk-in from the Dashboard, we currently capture that information. We are now making that actual time spent with your clients (vs the planned time) available in the reports for easy analysis.
You can now see in customer reports which clients have opted out of receiving SMS messages from the system.
Other
We will be decommissioning the Coconut app in the app stores
