With certificates you generate personalized certificates, notices or test proofs for your customers directly from a booking. They are sent either automatically after the appointment or manually via the booking details.
Certificates are available from the Professional plan. Activate the app Tests & Certificates first under Account → Apps & Integrations → anny Apps.

​
How do certificates work?

You define possible results in advance (e.g. “Attended successfully” or “Passed”), design the certificate with your own text and background image, and decide whether it is sent automatically or manually. The process at a glance:
  1. You create a certificate on a service (Certificates group in the service settings).
  2. You define result options and design the document.
  3. After the appointment, the result is either published automatically after a configurable delay, or you enter it manually in the booking details.
  4. Customers receive the certificate by email and can access it in their customer profile.
The certificate must be fully created and configured before the service goes live and the first bookings come in. Applying it retroactively to existing bookings is not possible.

​
When do I use this?

  • You offer training courses or professional seminars: issue statutory or industry-specific proofs with individual credit points.
  • You run workshops or courses: offer attendance confirmations as a professional conclusion.
  • You run an examination center: document test results in a legally sound way and send them automatically.
  • Not suitable for: simple booking confirmations without a result or proof. The standard email templates are enough for that.

​
Relationship with other features

  • Check-In & Check-Out: the Result delay for automatically published results counts from the booking’s check-in.
  • Custom Forms: through additional data fields in the certificate you can collect values that later appear on the document (e.g. “Points achieved”).

​

FAQ

No. The certificate must be fully set up before the first booking for this service comes in.

Troubleshooting

Check two requirements: 1) The Tests & Certificates app must be activated under Account → Apps & Integrations → anny Apps. 2) It must be a service, not a booking option created directly on a resource. You find the group in the General information tab in the Settings section.
Make sure Notify customer is checked in the certificate settings. For manual certificates: check in the booking details whether the result was actually published.
