They allow you to improve your clientflow by allowing for combined actions, customization, and automation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you can include any bookable file in your <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/honeybook-automations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"HoneyBook automations\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">HoneyBook automations<\/a> to move clients to the next step of your clientflow without your oversight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you offer services that are suitable for instant booking, for example, your clients can receive a booking file as soon as they fill out your contact form. As always, your automations are customizable so they can suit your specific needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore some of these journeys that you can set up with HoneyBook automations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Offer a hands-off booking experience for service offerings that don\u2019t require upfront collaboration or discovery&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When your client fills out a contact form, you can automatically send a file that contains service selection options, <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/online-contract\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online contract<\/a>, and invoice, so your client can choose their desired service, sign, and pay all at once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Say a client schedules a session with you and you want to make sure they\u2019re prepared beforehand. Just automate an email with more details leading up to the appointment. You can also include a worksheet or questionnaire if you need to provide or collect more information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these are examples of initial automated steps after an inquiry comes in, remember that you can also automate a file to send at any point in your process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-6966773 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"6966773\"><style>.stk-6966773{background-color:#f4eae0 !important}.stk-6966773:before{background-color:#f4eae0 !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-6966773-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-block-column--v3 stk-column stk-block-column--v2 stk-block stk-d9ccb2c\" data-block-id=\"d9ccb2c\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-d9ccb2c-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-d9ccb2c-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-text ugb-text ugb-161756d ugb-text--design-plain ugb-text--columns-1 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-161756d .ugb-text__subtitle{font-size:16px !important;color:#000012}.ugb-161756d .ugb-text__text p{font-size:24px !important;color:#000012}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-text__title-wrapper\"><p class=\"ugb-text__subtitle\"><strong><span style=\"color: #131416;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">RE<\/span>AD MORE<\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"ugb-text__text-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-text__text\"><p class=\"ugb-text__text-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/help.honeybook.com\/en\/articles\/7835562-november-honeybook-release-notes\"><span style=\"color: #131416;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">November 2022 HoneyBook Release Notes<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"templates\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leverage industry-specific templates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As a busy business owner, you don\u2019t always have time to start from scratch.

Every time you message your client a project update, send a file, or schedule an automated email, it becomes part of the client experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an independent, these communications are key to representing your business and quality of service, which can make or break your services. That\u2019s why we updated each instance of our email editor to offer one cohesive experience that offers the same ability to customize across the board. The editor now offers our most advanced capabilities, whether you\u2019re sending a quick note with an invoice or messaging your clients directly in your HoneyBook inbox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no action you need to take for this update to make all of your email templates look and work better!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-c754f8f stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"c754f8f\"><style>.stk-c754f8f{background-color:#f4eae0 !important}.stk-c754f8f:before{background-color:#f4eae0 !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-c754f8f-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-block-column--v3 stk-column stk-block-column--v2 stk-block stk-ac81436\" data-block-id=\"ac81436\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ac81436-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ac81436-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-text ugb-text ugb-db2eea7 ugb-text--design-plain ugb-text--columns-1 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-db2eea7 .ugb-text__subtitle{font-size:16px !important;color:#000012}.ugb-db2eea7 .ugb-text__text p{font-size:24px !important;color:#000012}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-text__title-wrapper\"><p class=\"ugb-text__subtitle\"><strong><span style=\"color: #131416;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">RE<\/span>AD MORE<\/strong><\/p><\/div><div class=\"ugb-text__text-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-text__text\"><p class=\"ugb-text__text-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/help.honeybook.com\/en\/articles\/7835569-december-honeybook-release-notes\"><span style=\"color: #131416;\" class=\"stk-highlight\">December 2022 HoneyBook Release Notes<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"onthego\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Work more efficiently on the go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The HoneyBook mobile app provides an efficient way for you to work on the go, whether you need to send an <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/online-invoices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online invoice<\/a> to a new client, track your payments, or edit your files. Never let a client slip through the cracks when you can move them forward in your clientflow wherever you are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule emails and files<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now schedule the send of any file and\/or email ahead of time from within the HoneyBook mobile app. Maybe you heard from your client yesterday, but are catching up, working late from bed, and don\u2019t want them to know you\u2019ve been burning the midnight oil\u2013schedule the send for first thing in the morning so it\u2019s fresh in their inbox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your payments up to date&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On the desktop version of HoneyBook, you\u2019ve always been able to update multiple payment actions. Now, you can take these actions wherever you are, directly from the mobile app. Mark invoices as paid, mark them as refunded (or undo either action), send a payment reminder to your client, and view your invoice receipts. These functions are available on any project within the HoneyBook app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edit invoices on the go&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Had a client change their services last minute? No problem. Inside the HoneyBook mobile app, you can now easily edit any part of your smart file invoices while you\u2019re on the go.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Update your invoice headers, services, summary, and payment schedules. Make changes then send it off to your client for review and payment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/invoice-editing.gif\" alt=\"Editing a HoneyBook smart files invoice\" class=\"wp-image-80615\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add your bank account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are so many reasons to process payments with HoneyBook&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clientflow management platform<\/a> (like timely payments and providing the most elevated client experience), and now it\u2019s easier than ever to get set up and start getting paid.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re on the go,&nbsp; add or update your bank information in your HoneyBook account directly from the mobile app. Of course, if you\u2019ve already completed this step in setting up your account, there\u2019s no need to do it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"schedule\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update your schedule and calendar with ease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know you can easily book sessions with clients directly in HoneyBook? <a href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/scheduler-product-update\">The scheduler tool<\/a> integrates directly with your calendar, whether you\u2019re using <a href=\"https:\/\/help.honeybook.com\/en\/articles\/7835552-october-honeybook-release-notes\">Google, Apple iCal, or Outlook<\/a>. Keep your availability updated and configure different types of sessions depending on your business needs (client meetings, photo sessions, consultations, and more).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple ways to share your sessions with clients, like via a direct link or embedding them on your website. Streamlining this step in your clientflow can save hours per project of back-and-forth communication, and it removes the risk of miscommunication or human error when trying to schedule a consultation with a client.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you also have the ability to save time on the setup side when you configure sessions in your scheduler tool. You can simply duplicate a session you\u2019ve already configured to your liking, and update one or two details. Maybe your availability is the same every week, but you want to offer 30- and 60-minute sessions. Instead of redoing every detail, simply duplicate, update, and publish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a id=\"workload\"><\/a>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get better insight into your team\u2019s workload<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the hardest parts of managing a business is <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/hire-employees-and-manage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"managing a team\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">managing a team<\/a>.
