What This Plugin Adds

Section titled “What This Plugin Adds”

Bookings is an Available, Schema-owning Capell plugin in the Capell Commerce product group. It ships as capell-app/bookings and extends these surfaces: admin, console, frontend.

Bookings turns public appointment requests into an admin workflow with services, staff, locations, availability, confirmation, reminders, reviews, and waitlists.

Visitors submit an appointment request through the public booking route. Operators review the queue, confirm or cancel requests, and manage the availability data used to offer slots.

Evidence: capell.json, src/Actions/CreateAppointmentRequestAction.php, src/Filament/Resources/AppointmentRequests/AppointmentRequestResource.php, docs/overview.admin.md, docs/screenshots.json, src/Http/Controllers/StoreBookingRequestController.php, src/Actions/BuildAvailableBookingSlotsAction.php.

Status details:

  • Status: Available
  • Tier: premium
  • Bundle: commerce
  • Composer package: capell-app/bookings
  • Namespace: Capell\Bookings
  • Theme key: not applicable

Why It Matters

Section titled “Why It Matters”

For developers: Actions own slot calculation and booking state changes, while signed customer URLs, scheduled commands, and package resources expose those workflows through defined boundaries.

For teams: Teams can start with services, staff, availability, and the request queue, then add reminders, reviews, waitlists, and customer links when the operation needs them.

Evidence: src/Actions/BuildAvailableBookingSlotsAction.php, src/Actions/ConfirmAppointmentRequestAction.php, src/Actions/CreatePortalAccessTokenAction.php, src/Console/SendDueAppointmentRemindersCommand.php, docs/overview.admin.md, docs/admin-guide.md, docs/screenshots.json.

Start Simple, Add Depth Later

Section titled “Start Simple, Add Depth Later”

Most teams should launch with the default request form, service setup, staff availability, and admin queue before enabling reminders, reviews, waitlists, travel planning, payments, or advanced automation. Use docs/adoption-guide.md as the rollout path for owners, operators, agencies, and developers.

Common Pitfalls

Section titled “Common Pitfalls”
  • Keep required Capell packages on compatible v4 releases: capell-app/admin, capell-app/core, capell-app/customer-portal.
  • Run migrations before opening package resources or public routes.
  • Review package configuration before production-like verification: config/capell-bookings.php, Capell\Bookings\Settings\BookingsSettings.
  • Review middleware, throttling, signatures, and public-output safety in routes/web.php before exposing routes.
  • Register the host scheduler so these declared commands run at their documented frequencies: capell:bookings:expire-workflow-state (everyFiveMinutes), capell:bookings:prune-retention-data (daily), capell:bookings:schedule-review-requests (hourly), capell:bookings:send-due-reminders (everyFiveMinutes).
  • Keep public Blade and cached HTML free of authoring markers, model IDs, permissions, signed editor URLs, and lazy database queries.
  • Custom write integrations must preserve invalidation for bookings cache tags.
