Offer popup classes for one-off unscheduled offerings for your clients

Sometimes you want to offer a one-off class that is outside of your normal weekly schedule. Clovo has built-in support for these occasions with pop-up classes, allowing you to use your usual booking system to run special events, workshops, or substitute classes.
What is a pop-up class?
A pop-up class is a single class opening that occurs only once. Unlike scheduled classes that repeat weekly, a pop-up is tied to a specific date. Pop-ups are ideal for workshops, guest instructor sessions, holiday specials, or any class that doesn’t fit your regular timetable.
Creating a pop-up class
- In Clovo Dashboard, go to the Openings page.
- Click the + Add Pop-up button in the top right.
- Select a specific date for the class (this replaces the day-of-week selector used for scheduled classes).
- Set the time the class starts.
- Choose the class type from your existing class list.
- Select the location.
- Assign one or more instructors.
- Click Create.
The pop-up class will immediately appear in your Openings list and be available for clients to book in the app.
Pop-up vs. scheduled classes
The key difference is that scheduled classes repeat every week on a set day and time, while pop-up classes happen once on a specific date. If you find yourself creating the same pop-up class regularly, it’s probably time to add it to your schedule instead.
