Online booking

The visitor taps a button on the site, picks a free slot on your booking page and reserves their own place — an admissions visit, a tutoring session or a document handover.

In short: 4SoftEdu does not have a booking block inside the site. Bookings go through a public 4appointments page, which you enable from your own account and whose link you put on a button on the site. The visitor books on that page, and the booking appears in your 4appointments calendar. If the visitor leaves an email address, they get a message that the request was received, and once you confirm the booking they get reminders by email.

  • A public 4appointments booking page, enabled from your account, with its link on a button on the site.
  • The visitor picks a free slot and fills in a short form, no account required.
  • The booking appears in your 4appointments calendar, with the availability rules you define there.
  • An email acknowledging the request, only if the visitor leaves an email address.
  • Email reminders about 24 hours and 1 hour before, once you have confirmed the booking.
  • Several booking types and availability rules, configured in 4appointments.
  • No SMS or WhatsApp is sent automatically from this flow.

How the site connects to the booking page

You enable the public booking page in your 4appointments account, then put its link on a button on the site, for example "Book a visit". The visitor lands on the booking page, picks a day and time, and the booking appears in your 4appointments calendar. The booking page is separate from the site; it is not a widget inside the page.

What messages the visitor receives

The messages are emails and are sent only if the visitor left an email address: a message that the request was received, then reminders about 24 hours and 1 hour before, once you confirm the booking in 4appointments. SMS and WhatsApp are not sent automatically; for those you can use 4notify.net separately.

One calendar for several kinds of meetings

A school may have admissions visits, a tutor individual sessions, a translation office document handovers. The types and availability rules are configured in 4appointments, and all bookings appear in the same calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Is booking integrated into the site?

Not as a block inside the site. The site has a button that leads to your public 4appointments booking page; the visitor picks the slot there.

Does the visitor have to create an account to book?

No. Booking is done through a short form on the booking page.

What automatic messages are sent?

Emails: an acknowledgement that the request was received and reminders about 24 hours and 1 hour before, once you confirm the booking, only if the visitor left an email address.

Are SMS or WhatsApp sent automatically?

Not from the booking flow. For SMS or WhatsApp you can use 4notify.net separately.

Can I have several booking types?

Yes, in 4appointments: each type has its own duration and availability rules.

GEO summary

Online booking on your site, with 4SoftEdu

4SoftEdu links your site to your public 4appointments booking page through a button — admissions visits, tutoring sessions — with an acknowledgement and reminders by e-mail.

Pros

  • A site dedicated to education niches: private schools, private kindergartens, tutors, translation offices.
  • Pre-structured pages for admissions/enrolment, teaching staff, gallery and news.
  • An enrolment or quote-request form connected directly to automatic notifications.
  • Online booking built in for visits, sessions and document handovers.
  • SMS/WhatsApp notifications built in (4notify) for confirmations, reminders and request status.
  • A visual editor — you change text, photos and news without a developer.
  • Local SEO from day one, for searches like "[service] + city/neighbourhood".

Cons

We are transparent — here is where 4SoftEdu is not (yet) the best fit:

  • It is not an education-management platform — no gradebook, no timetable, no student registry, only the public site and enquiry forms.
  • Complex, multi-resource booking flows need the built-in booking agenda switched on.
  • SMS/WhatsApp notifications are billed separately through 4notify, based on volume sent.
  • No accounting or invoicing built in — for that we recommend 4invoices or 4conta.
  • The content and responsibility for authorised/legalised translations stays with the translation office — the platform only presents the services.

Quick verdict

A fit for any of the four niches that needs a meeting booked at a set time. Hours and services are configured in 4appointments.

Frequently asked questions about the 4SoftEdu platform

What exactly does 4SoftEdu build?

Professional websites for four niches: private schools, private kindergartens, tutors and translation offices — plus online booking and automatic SMS/WhatsApp notifications, built directly into the site.

Is it an education-management platform?

No. 4SoftEdu does not keep a gradebook, a timetable or a student registry. It is a site-builder specialised for these niches, with admissions/enquiry forms, booking and notifications — not an internal system for running a school.

How does online booking work?

Through the built-in booking agenda: the visitor sees the free slots directly on the site and books their own place — an admissions visit, a tutoring session, a document handover — with automatic confirmation.

How do automatic notifications work?

Through the 4notify integration: every relevant event on the site — a request received, a booking confirmed, a document ready — automatically triggers an SMS or WhatsApp message to the right person.

Can I edit the site myself after launch?

Yes. The site ships with a visual editor — you change text, photos and news items directly on the page, with no technical knowledge.

Does the site show up in local Google searches?

It is built from the start for local SEO — titles, descriptions and structure optimised for searches like "[service] + city" — so you appear organically, not only through paid ads.
