What changed.

New features, improvements and fixes, as they ship. Most of them come straight from studios using Stencil.

  1. Chairs and artists, separated

    • ImprovedA chair is now a place in the studio, not an artist. Every booking names its artist and its chair separately, and any artist can be booked into any free chair.
    • NewThe booking form has its own Artist field; the chair fills in with the artist's usual chair and can be changed.
    • NewAn artist can no longer be booked in two places at once; the form warns before you book.
    • ImprovedThe calendar and the day board show chairs by their own names, colour bookings by artist, and filter by artist or by chair.

  2. Formatting, artists and consent forms per artist

    • NewA formatting bar in every editor: bold, italic, underline, size, colour, links, bullet lists and centring, in emails, consent forms and the enquiry form.
    • NewEach artist can have their own consent form. Their bookings are signed on it, and the signed forms show on their profile.
    • NewArtists are emailed when a booking request is declined, and see every request's status under Enquiries.
    • NewAdmins can connect an artist to their login and give them a chair from the artist's page.
    • ImprovedArtists see only their own clients, enquiries and tasks, and no studio takings.
    • FixedThe review email's button now uses the studio's saved review link in the preview and test.
    • FixedArtists without a chair could not book from the calendar; the calendar now says why.

  3. Team, artists and booking emails

    • NewBooking confirmations and reminders are edited in the same email designer as newsletters.
    • NewTeam invitations, welcome and password-reset emails, and one Edit window per person.
    • NewPhotos on every booking: references, the stencil, and the finished tattoo.
    • NewAdmins can hand a client to an artist.
    • NewArtists' own bookings are requests an admin approves.
    • NewThe public enquiry form is built block by block, with file uploads and images.
    • NewClient groups for emails, and a no-reply list for the Instagram assistant.
    • ImprovedA reorganised side panel, a Dashboard, and consent forms that translate from English automatically.
    • FixedOpening a conversation reliably marks it read.

  4. Email campaigns and a calendar you can drag

    • NewEmail campaigns and automations, written with the assistant, with photos, videos and scheduling.
    • NewDrag across the calendar or right-click to book, and drag a booking to move it.
    • NewConsent forms in English and German.
    • NewChoose when the assistant replies to Instagram DMs, and have it ignore story reactions.
    • ImprovedA rebuilt New booking page.
    • FixedPassword reset links no longer expire the moment an email scanner opens them.

  5. Consent forms and automatic client emails

    • NewA drag-and-drop consent form builder, with signing on the client's phone.
    • NewAutomatic client emails: confirmation, deposit reminder, appointment reminder, aftercare and review request.
    • ImprovedA security review of every page and database rule.
