Settings, in fewer places — and a Notifications page

Twenty-one settings pages are now twelve, each one question with a tab per part. And every email Inchair sends you now has a switch.

Shipped 12 September 2026·3 min read

Settings had grown to twenty-one pages, most of them one card, with a dashed "looking for…?" box on each side of every seam: hours on two pages, booking policy on three, your own account on three. Each page is now one question, and the parts of the answer are tabs across the top of it. Nothing was removed, nothing changed how it saves — only where it sits.

If you can't find something, type it into the search box on the Settings page. It now finds the tab, not just the page — "deposit" opens Booking rules on the Deposits & cards tab.

Where things went

Business hoursBeside each stylist's working hours and time off, which were a page of their own under Team.
[Hours › Opening hours](/admin/settings/hours?tab=opening)
People & rolesSame page, shorter name. Invite someone is its second tab.
[Team](/admin/settings/staff)
Booking formThe one field it held. Its cancellation cards moved next door.
[Booking rules › Client address](/admin/settings/booking-rules?tab=form)
Client listTwo cards down from the default deposit it's read against.
[Booking rules › Client exceptions](/admin/settings/booking-rules?tab=exceptions)
Cancellation policy, who can cancel or rescheduleYour policy on one tab; who can cancel or move an appointment on the other.
[Cancellations & changes](/admin/settings/cancellations)
Branding, Link previewLogo & colour, and the shared-link card that picks them up.
[Appearance](/admin/settings/branding)
Your own domain, Embed, Search visibilityPlus a first tab that is simply your booking link, with a Copy button.
[Web address](/admin/settings/domain)
Stripe & payoutsSame page, shorter name.
[Payments](/admin/settings/payments)
Your profile, Stylist profile, PasswordThree tabs. The stylist one is marked Public, because it's the only part clients see.
[Your account](/admin/settings/profile)

Old links still work — a bookmark to any page that moved lands on its new tab.

Notifications

Settings → Notifications (opens in a new tab) lists every email Inchair sends you when something happens, each with a switch: a new booking, a booking request waiting on you, a new message from a client, the twelve-hour unread nudge, and a new client account. They're your switches — each person on the team sets their own, so a stylist can keep booking mail and skip the chaser while the owner does the opposite.

  • Switching one off stops that email reaching you. It doesn't reroute it to someone else — an owner who mutes client messages isn't quietly made the fallback for them.
  • It only covers mail to you and your team. Clients' own emails — confirmations, reminders, receipts — aren't touched, and the reminder rules still live under Bookings → Reminders (opens in a new tab).
  • Stripe account alerts are listed under Money for owners but can't be switched off: when Stripe restricts a salon's account, we're required to tell you.
Not on the list

There's no switch for a client cancelling or moving their own booking, because Inchair doesn't email anyone about that today. If that changes, it'll appear here rather than arrive unannounced.
