Short web addresses for booking and rooms

As well as your normal workspace address, your booking pages answer on two shorter ones that are easier to say out loud, print on a poster, or send in a WhatsApp message.

If your workspace is acme, then:

Address Takes the customer to
acme-rooms.bsensor.app Your room search
acme-booking.bsensor.app Your table reservations

Your ordinary address, acme.bsensor.app, keeps working exactly as before and is still where you sign in.

Before you start

Nothing. These work automatically — there is nothing to switch on, and no setting for them.

How to use them

  • On a poster or a business card, print acme-rooms.bsensor.app. It is shorter than the full path to your room search and there is no / for someone to mistype.
  • In a WhatsApp or Instagram message, send the short address rather than the long one — it previews more cleanly and is easier to read aloud over the phone.
  • Anywhere you would have written the long address, either still works. They go to exactly the same pages.

Tips

  • The address bar keeps the short name. A customer who arrives at acme-rooms.bsensor.app stays on that address as they browse. Nothing looks like it has redirected them somewhere unexpected.
  • Both are your business, not a shared page. Each short address belongs to your workspace alone, and shows your banner, your footer and your rooms.
  • Bookmarks are safe. These addresses do not change when you edit your storefront.
  • Dates and tags pass straight through. Anything after the address, such as ?checkIn=2026-12-24&checkOut=2026-12-26 or ?src=instagram, reaches the room search unchanged. Setup → Storefront → Book on your website builds these links and a search box for your own website (see Take room bookings from your own website).

Common problems

  • The short address doesn't load → Check the spelling: it is your workspace name, then a hyphen, then rooms or booking — no spaces, and nothing between. If your workspace is acme the address is acme-rooms, not acme rooms or acmerooms.
  • I get my room search when I wanted table reservations → -rooms is the room search and -booking is table reservations. They are easy to mix up.
  • It asks me to sign in → You have opened a part of the workspace that is staff-only. The short addresses land customers on public pages; anything beyond those still needs a login, which is correct.
  • Can I have a short address for something else? → Not at the moment. Only those two exist. Your other pages are reachable at your ordinary address.
