# Smart Appointment Recommendations

## SimpleSpa can now automatically suggest a client’s next appointment based on their past booking history.

This feature analyzes a client’s service patterns, timing preferences, and preferred staff to propose an ideal date and time for their next visit.

## How It Works

When you open an existing appointment in your calendar, SimpleSpa reviews the client’s recent booking history to:

* Identify their most frequently booked service(s).
* Detect their typical booking cadence (e.g., every 2 weeks, every month).
* Recognize their preferred time of day and staff member.

It then recommends the next best appointment to keep them on their usual schedule.

## Using Smart Appointment Recommendations

1. Open the Appointment<br>
   1. In the Calendar view, click on the client’s appointment to open the appointment details dialog.<br>
2. Click the Lightning Button ⚡<br>
   1. In the appointment dialog toolbar, look for the lightning icon.
   2. This is the Smart Recommendation button.<br>
3. View the Suggested Booking<br>
   1. After a quick analysis, a pop-up will display the recommended:
      1. Service (e.g., “Awesome Cut”)
      2. Date (e.g., “2025-09-12”)
      3. Time (e.g., “14:00”)
      4. Staff (if a clear preference is found)<br>
4. Apply the Recommendation<br>
   1. You can use the suggested details to quickly create a new booking for the client.

<br>

## Notes<br>

* If there is not enough booking history, the feature may not be able to make a strong recommendation.
* The system uses both AI-powered and non-AI fallback logic to ensure you always get the best suggestion possible.
* Recommendations are based on historical patterns and do not automatically book the appointment — you choose whether to apply it.
