Overview

The Calendar in Flashquotes provides a comprehensive visual overview of your upcoming events and leads. It serves as both an event management tool and a lightweight CRM, helping you track both confirmed bookings and potential business opportunities.

Calendar Features

Event Display

Confirmed bookings appear as solid blocks and include:
  • Event date and time
  • Client information
  • Quick access to event details
Click any booked event to view a slide-out panel with event details or access the full event editing interface.
Unbooked leads appear as dashed-line blocks and show:
  • Requested date
  • Lead information
  • Quote status
This visualization helps identify follow-up opportunities with leads who have received quotes but haven’t confirmed bookings.
