Set up a new service, its consent form and a deposit in one go
A new treatment usually means three separate trips into settings: the service, the consent form, the deposit. Describe it once and the assistant lays all three out as a plan for you to check, with the pieces already wired together.
You have decided to offer a new treatment. Something that needs a signed consent form and a deposit to hold the slot, because the products are expensive and a no-show hurts. In most booking software that is three trips into three different corners of the settings. Build the service. Go to forms and build the consent form. Go to booking rules and set the deposit. Each is simple on its own. Together they are the reason the new treatment sits on your to-do list for a fortnight.
One sentence, one plan
The assistant in your Bookatu admin can take the whole thing at once. Tell it what you want in plain words. Add a microneedling service, 60 minutes, $180, it needs a consent form, and take a 30% deposit to book. It does not fire off three disconnected changes. It lays out a plan, a short numbered list of what it is about to do, so you can see the shape of it before anything happens.
The steps thread together
What makes this more than three shortcuts is that the steps know about each other. The consent form it drafts is attached to the very service it just proposed. The deposit rule applies to that same service. You are not left to wire the pieces together afterwards. The assistant threads the output of one step into the next, so what you approve is a treatment that is ready to book, form and deposit included.
The consent form arrives as a draft, not a finished thing pushed live behind your back. This is the same care Bookatu takes when you import a paper consent form: the questions, the acknowledgements and the place to sign are laid out for you to read and adjust before a single client sees them. You know your treatment and its risks better than any model does. The draft saves you the blank page, and you keep the final say on every line.
You approve the whole thing, or any part of it
Nothing goes live until you confirm. You can accept the plan as it stands, or change a step first. Make the deposit 20% instead of 30%. Add a question to the form. Trim the duration to 45 minutes. When it looks right, approve it and the service, its form and its deposit all take effect together. If you change your mind after, Undo rolls it back.
A new treatment should take one clear decision, not an afternoon of tab-hopping through settings you touch twice a year.
Why do it in one go
The pieces of a bookable treatment are easy to leave half-done. The service goes up, but the consent form waits, so the first client signs nothing. Or the form exists but no deposit is set, so the expensive no-show you were guarding against walks anyway. Setting them together, from one instruction, is how the treatment goes live actually finished, with the protection you meant it to have from the very first booking.
Ready when you are
This is the assistant doing what it is good at, the multi-step admin that is simple in each part and tiring as a set. It proposes, you confirm, and you can undo. It runs inside the AI allowance on your plan, shown on your usage page, with nothing charged silently. If you have a treatment you have been meaning to add properly, you can start free and set it up, form and deposit and all, in about the time it takes to describe it.
