Hi guys, hope you are all well. Today I want to show my application that I have been working on with a friend for the past week. His company provides warehouse services and he needs a dock booking app for clients, one which would include different, pre-defined booking durations and of course, prevent conflicts. ### **The link of the app** > **[HAVI Dock Booking](https://dockbookingtemp.glideapp.io/)** > > A warehouse dock booking app that prevents conflicts A little video to show you the process, including the email confirmation.

The image confirmation after each booking would look like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/ed0a6db80f43599b73f9b463c9edbd0e07755ed4.png) It’s the same concept that I used here: > [@Concept: Sending digital membership card after subscription](https://community.glideapps.com/t/concept-sending-digital-membership-card-after-subscription/9539): > > Hi, today I would like to show a concept of delivering digital membership card after users have bought a subscription pack. This consists of a form in Glide, a script in Google Sheets, some work with Cloudinary to come to the final product: a personalized email, with the image of the “digital membership card” inside. Here’s how it works in real time.

Special thanks to @Jeff_Hager for the 0.1, 0.2, etc. concept, sorry I forgot which post it was to link it here. Thanks to @Robert_Petitto for testing it a while ago, I wanted to make sure it works with another country’s datetime format because we struggled for a while with that. If you test this and find out that you can still make conflict bookings please let me know. ---

Wow!!! This app rocks. @ThinhDinh You covered a lot of angles to get this app functioning the way it does. Nice work! I did a test booking and selected a particular date/time slot (from the USA) and after the booking has been confirmed it prevents me from booking again using the same date/time slot. So it appears to work properly and not allow conflicting schedules to be created. ---

Did you receive the email as well? Thank you for taking time to test it. 😄 ---

Just to make it clearer it would block multiple slots from being booked so that a truck won’t show up when one is still in the dock. For example: If your truck is booked from 10AM to 11AM, then I want to book a slot from 9.45AM to 10.30AM in the same dock, it will be blocked as well because it conflicts with the 10AM to 10.30AM part. ---

Very nice! Can I ask how you’re sending emails? It doesn’t seem to be coming from Zapier, so I assume it’s using a script? ---

Yes it’s using a script I wrote. In the future if clients want to change the message that comes along with the image I can just modify it in the script. The image was done using Cloudinary. ---

Yep, I received the email confirmation… ![email](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/7bc290057a1e4137aef2a9423ff21ef5472c2398.png) My initial booking was scheduled for 8:00 AM, Monday, June 8th (and it should last 30 minutes, 8:00 AM - 8:30 AM) When I attempt another booking starting at 8:15 AM, Monday, June 8th (it prevents the booking and says the slot is taken) ![prevention](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/cf4e5be4a1130ab90910d89bdafac3db979404b5.png) ---

I’ve got a very similar booking app for rooms in my building, but I’ve been using Zapier to send the emails (which is causing an issue as we reach the limits of the free tier — we’re a non-profit). Can you share the script you used to do this? I’m not super familiar with scripts so would appreciate a template of sorts to get me started in automating emails like this (without Zapier). Thanks! ---

This is amazing! Any specific time lag from the form submission to receival of the email? I have used google scripts in the same way as you for whatsapp messages but the image confirmations looks so much better than a basic text. Loved the idea. ---

Should just be seconds. However in some cases the mail has been sent from my side but it takes the client a while to receive, happens randomly. ---

Sorry but this app was not intended to be copyable.
