Manage client channels
Keep track of how clients found your salon, for example through Instagram or as a walk-in, and create channels of your own.
Client channels record how a client found your business. You choose the channel for a client as their Customer source, and you filter on it in the client list. That way you see, for example, how many clients come through Instagram.
The fixed channels
Every salon starts with Walk-in, Instagram, Google, Facebook and Geïmporteerd. These have a lock: you can't change or delete them. Geïmporteerd is given to every client you add with the import.
Add a channel of your own
- In the menu, go to Settings › Company configuration › Customer channels.
- Click Add.
- Under Channel name, enter a name, for example a local promotion or a partnership.
- Leave Active on if you want to use the channel straight away.
- Click Save.
Change, switch off or delete a channel
- Click Actions next to the channel.
- Choose Edit to change the name or switch off Active, and click Save. A channel that is not active can no longer be chosen for a client. Clients who already have it keep it.
- Choose Permanently delete and confirm to remove the channel. That only works when no client has the channel.
Choose the channel for a client
- Go to Customers and add a client, or open a client and choose Actions › Edit customer data.
- Under Extra information, choose the Customer source. If the channel isn't there, click Edit sources.

Frequently asked questions
Do clients who book online get a channel automatically?
No. A client who books online has no customer source until you choose one.
Why can't I delete a channel?
It is a fixed channel with a lock, or there are still clients with this channel. Switch the channel off with Active instead: then it is no longer offered for new clients.
How do I see which clients came through a channel?
In Customers, open Filters and choose the Channel under Source.
