Getting started

How to sign in#

1. Open admin.bookelva.ch in your browser.
2. Under Your booking address, enter your business's address, e.g. salon-aurora.
3. Tap Go to admin area →.
4. Enter Email or username and Password.
5. Tap Log in.

You can also open salon-aurora.bookelva.ch/admin directly. If your business runs on its own domain, sign in at your-domain/admin, e.g. termin.salon-aurora.ch/admin. If you have set up a passkey, tap Sign in with passkey. After 5 wrong attempts, sign-in is locked temporarily, at first for 15 minutes.

First sign-in: set your own password#

When you sign in for the first time with an initial password, the first-time setup opens. It can't be skipped.

1. Enter the initial password under Password from the e-mail.
2. Choose a New password with at least 8 characters and repeat it under Repeat new password.
3. Tap Save password.
4. Set up a passkey with Set up passkey, or skip this step.
5. Tap Go to admin.

The new password must differ from the initial password. The first-time setup also appears when an admin or Bookelva has reset your password. If an admin created a login with a password for you, it doesn't appear: you sign in directly and replace the password yourself under My account. You can set up the passkey later under My account.

How to accept an invitation#

If someone from your business invited you, you get an email with a link.

1. Open the link in the email.
2. Enter a New password with at least 8 characters and repeat it under Repeat new password.
3. Tap Set password.
4. Set up a passkey with Set up passkey, or skip this step.
5. Tap Go to admin.

The link works only once. For staff it is valid for 7 days. If it no longer works, ask the person who invited you for a new invitation.

The setup checklist#

On the Dashboard, the card Bookable in 10 minutes shows what is still missing before the first online booking.

1. Add your business details: enter address and phone.
2. Review your services: adjust the names and durations of your services.
3. Team and working hours: at least one person with working hours and assigned services.
4. Share your booking link: with Copy link or Share via WhatsApp.
5. Tap Open next to an open item to go straight to the right place.

The last item counts as done as soon as the first online booking comes in. Once all items are done, the list disappears. With the X (Hide) you hide it in this browser.

The dashboard at a glance#

After signing in you land on the Dashboard. At the top you see Appointments today, Revenue today (with the register: Register today), This week and Unconfirmed. Below follow Today, Quick access and Upcoming appointments. With New appointment you add an appointment right away.

Change the admin language#

1. Open Settings in the menu.
2. Choose General.
3. Under Language, choose the language you want.
4. Tap Save.

The language applies to the whole business: to the admin, as the default on the booking page, and to emails and text messages to your customers.
