This version is small but mighty! Check out these handful of updates to Inspire by STX in v2.8.1:

Online Booking URL Customization (Enhancement) - Businesses can now edit their online booking URL, for example if your URL was stxcloud.com/#/clientlogin/stx_00000 it could be changed to stxcloud.com/#/clientlogin/GlossStudio84.

Online Booking Defaults to Any Worker (Enhancement) - Previously, the online booking displayed "Select Worker" by default and the client would need to select Any Worker or a specific Worker.  In this version, it will now default to "Any Worker" and then if they would like to choose a specific Worker they can. 
Location: Online Booking

Auto Update Service Group Colors (NEW!) - When a service group color is updated, upon save it will automatically update all future appointments within that service group.
Location: Setup > Setup Service > Setup Service Group

Note Field Formatting (Enhancement) - The appointment and service notes now allow for a hard enter for ease of viewing.
