Running a tutoring center is no small feat—especially when you’re trying to juggle multiple class schedules, tutor availability, and student bookings. 

But what if I told you that with the right workflow setup, you can turn that chaos into a well-oiled machine? 😎

That’s exactly what we tackled in a recent troubleshooting session with Mario Aldayuz, Head of Partnerships at HL Pro Tools.

 Let me walk you through a super practical hack for managing group bookings and class schedules using HighLevel’s workflows, along with an unexpected hero! 📊

The Challenge: Group Bookings and Tutor Schedules

During the session, Gene, a new HighLevel user, brought up a common struggle: his tutoring center needed a way to efficiently manage class schedules, tutor assignments, and student bookings—and doing this manually was a nightmare. 

I’m sure many of you who are running appointment-based businesses, whether it’s tutoring, coaching, or workshops, have faced similar challenges. So, what did Mario suggest?

The HighLevel Workflow Solution: Google Sheets + Workflows = Genius!

Mario’s approach was simple, yet brilliant. He suggested integrating HighLevel workflows with Google Sheets to automate the scheduling process and centralize all the data.

Here’s how it works:

• Step 1: Set up your workflows in HighLevel: First, create workflows that will trigger when certain actions happen—like a student booking a session or a tutor’s availability changing.
  
• Step 2: Sync with Google Sheets: Each time an action happens in HighLevel, it automatically updates the Google Sheet, so you always have a live view of schedules and availability.
  
• Step 3: Add pivot tables: For even more control and visibility, pivot tables can transform your data into a visual, easily manageable format. You’ll have a dynamic view of class slots, tutors, and student bookings all in one place! 🙌

Key Takeaways:

Here’s what you can do right now to streamline your own tutoring center or appointment-based business:

1. Use Google Sheets as a central scheduler: Automatically update your schedules and bookings directly from HighLevel workflows.
   
2. Create customized workflows: Use if-else filters to create tailored workflows for different tutors, classes, or time slots.
   
3. Leverage pivot tables: Make your schedule more digestible and visually organized to quickly see what’s available or needs attention.
   

Pro Tip: This isn’t just for tutoring centers! If you’re running a coaching program, a local service, or any type of business with appointments, you can adapt this workflow to suit your needs. 

It’s easy to implement and provides maximum clarity.

Real-World Application: Why This Works

The beauty of this solution is in its simplicity.

HighLevel is a powerhouse when it comes to automating workflows, but sometimes, we need a little help from other tools to make complex tasks easier. 

Google Sheets offers a simple way to centralize information without needing a ton of extra software. Plus, it’s something most businesses are already familiar with!

Action Steps You Can Take Right Now:

1. Set up a test workflow: Start small—create a basic workflow in HighLevel to automate data collection (like class bookings or tutor assignments).
   
2. Sync with Google Sheets: Use Zapier or other integrations to automatically update your Google Sheet as bookings happen.
   
3. Play around with pivot tables: Add pivot tables in your Google Sheet to see the data in a more organized, user-friendly way.
