When clients book appointments online, they may either choose a specific groomer or select “I’m good with anyone.”

To help your team better understand client intent and manage staff assignments with confidence, MoeGo now clearly shows whether a groomer was chosen by the client or not.

What is the “Client Selected” tag?

The “Client Selected” tag indicates that the client intentionally chose a specific groomer during online booking.

This helps you:

  • Understand client preferences at a glance

  • Make informed staffing decisions when editing appointments

  • Avoid accidentally changing a groomer that the client specifically requested

💡 Use the “Client Selected” tag as a quick signal before reassigning staff, especially when handling schedule changes, overbooking, or last-minute availability updates.

How it works in Online Booking

1. Client selects a groomer during booking

If your Online Booking settings allow clients to choose a groomer and a client selects one intentionally:

  • A “Client Selected” tag is applied

  • The tag appears on both the resulting appointment

This makes it clear that the groomer's choice came directly from the client.

2. Groomer is automatically assigned

If your Online Booking uses auto-assign staff, and clients do not select a specific groomer:

  • The appointment is marked as auto-assigned

  • No “Client Selected” tag is applied

This indicates the groomer was assigned based on availability or system rules, not client preference.

Where you’ll see the “Client Selected” tag

The tag is visible when working with appointments created from Online Booking requests, including:

  • Scheduling an Online Booking request: Advanced Editing, Smart Scheduling

  • Editing appointment schedule

  • Editing pet and service details

  • Multi-staff per service mode

  • Adding an appointment to the waitlist

  • Repeating an appointment from an Online Booking request

This is available on both the web and the mobile.

Repeat vs. Book Again: what happens to the tag?

Repeat appointment

If you convert an Online Booking request into a repeat appointment:

  • The “Client Selected” tag is carried over to future appointments

  • This is because the repeat appointment is treated as part of the same booking series

Book Again

If you click Book Again from an Online Booking appointment:

  • The “Client Selected” tag does not carry over

  • Book Again creates a brand-new appointment, separate from the original booking

If you want to indicate a preferred groomer in this case, you can:

  • Manually select the staff, or

  • Add a note to capture the client’s preference
