Sharing: let parents bring you the next booking 2026-10-24
For operators, marketing, office
The best moment for a recommendation is the one right after the booking worked out. The anticipation is there, the child is sitting next to the parent, and the question "which week are the others from school going to?" is in the air anyway. That is exactly where the sharing add-on puts a recommend button: on the confirmation page, right after the registration.
One tap, and the offer is in the class chat group
Below every registration on the confirmation page there is a row with three ways: WhatsApp, copy link and email. If the device offers its own share menu, a fourth button appears that also reaches Signal, Threema or the photos app. All of them sit next to each other, there is no menu to open first - one tap is enough.
WhatsApp receives a finished message: "I registered with you - here you can register as well", including the link. It is written and sent by the parents themselves, in their own chat, to the people they would have asked anyway.
What the recipient sees
The link leads to a page in your account with a single subject: the offer. Image, title, dates, location, duration, price, free spots - and a booking button that goes straight into your booking form for exactly that session. If the session is booked out or over by then, the page says so and leads on to your offer overview instead of into a dead end.
In WhatsApp, Signal or iMessage a preview card appears before anyone clicks, carrying your image, your offer title and your name - not a grey line with a bare address, and not the Bookacamp logo either. In a chat group that card is what decides whether anyone clicks at all.
What is not shared
The link carries no personal data. No name, no address, no booking number, no access key to the booking. The address contains a random key that points to the shared offer and nothing else - whoever receives it sees the offer and that is all. Who recommended what to whom appears nowhere on the page.
Forwarded links stay harmless that way: a link passed around a chat group twenty times leads twenty times to the same offer and never to another family's registration. If a link should stop working, switch sharing off in your account - the links already sent go quiet with it.
Your customers send it, not we
There is deliberately no field where someone types the email address of a befriended family so that the system sends them a recommendation. In Germany such a mail counts as advertising by the operator and is not permitted without the consent of the recipient, no matter that a third party triggered it. So sending stays where it belongs: in the messenger and the mail program of your customers. You get the reach without carrying the risk.
Switching it on
You activate the sharing add-on under account settings → sharing. There you switch the add-on on and decide separately whether the recommend button should appear in the booking system. Your embeds on your website stay unchanged - they are the same links as before.
