Bookly Pro Addons stores every appointment in two related rows. The slot lives in wp_bookly_appointments, and the per-customer attachment lives in wp_bookly_customer_appointments with a status column that moves through Pending, Approved, Cancelled, and Rejected. Payment lives in a third table, with notification status tracked next to it. The default list view is a wide grid of all those joins, which is precise and slow to scan.

SleekView reads the joined view Bookly itself uses on the back office screen, with wp_bookly_customer_appointments.status as the natural group column. The board renders one card per customer attachment, so a group appointment with three attendees produces three cards in the column that matches each attendee's status. Cards pull the customer name and the service title for the headline, staff member and time for the meta line, with payment state as a corner badge.

Drag a card from Pending into Approved and SleekView writes the new status to the customer appointment row, fires the Bookly notification hook so the email or SMS goes through Bookly's own gateway, and updates the staff calendar sync if you have the add-on installed. Cards inside group appointments stay independent so you can approve some attendees and reject others without touching the slot row underneath them.

Bookly Pro Addons is a comprehensive booking system, with a back office tuned for accuracy more than speed. That accuracy pays off when you need to edit a specific appointment in detail, and it gets in the way when you have twenty pending appointments and ten minutes before lunch. The kanban board removes the modal trip from the most common Bookly task, which is moving a customer appointment from Pending to Approved or Rejected.

Every other behaviour stays Bookly. The notification engine sends through Bookly templates. The custom fields appear on the card detail panel.

The Google Calendar sync add-on runs on the same hook. The board is a viewing layer on top of the Bookly data layer, never a replacement for it. For larger studios with multiple staff, the per-staff swim lane mode is the bigger win.

Owners drop into a board that splits Approved into one swim lane per stylist, see the imbalance, drag a few cards from the overloaded stylist into another swim lane to reassign, and the Bookly staff column updates on the appointment row underneath each card.
