# How to Book Performers and Acts

Whether you're an **agent** booking performers for clients or a **performer or supplier** booking additional acts, Giggio makes it easy to manage bookings, contracts, payments, and communication - all in one place.

**Before You Start**

Make sure the act or performer is already added to the **Performers** section in Giggio.  
 

**Booking a Performer**

2.  Click on the **Book Acts** tab.
3.  Use the dropdown or **search field** to find the performer you want to book.
4.  Enter:  
    -   The **specific act name**
    -   **Dress code** (inherited from the event, but editable.
    -   The **fee you’re paying** the act  
         💡 Clients do **not** see this fee, and acts do **not** see what the client is paying.
    -   **Event Contact details** (pre-filled, but can be updated)
    -   Any **notes** specific to this act  
         
5.  Click **Add Performer to Event**. The act will appear below with the status **Enquiry**.  
     

**Generating and Sending a Contract**

1.  Click **Generate Contract** to create a PDF contract for the performer.
2.  The status will change to **Generated**.
3.  Click **More Actions > Email Contract**.
4.  The email includes a **confirmation link** the performer can click to agree online.  
     

**Tracking Confirmation Status**

-   Until confirmed, a **warning appears** on both the **event record, event overview** and **dashboard**.
-   Once the performer confirms, the status updates to **Confirmed** and the warning changes.  
     

**Performer Job Sheets**

Confirmed performers get access to a **job sheet** containing all contract details.

-   You can add extra information using **Job Sheet Notes**.
-   Notes appear directly on the performer's job sheet.

**Financial Tracking and Payments**

-   On the **Reports** page, you’ll see:  
    1.  The **fee charged to the client**
    2.  The **fee paid to the performer**
    3.  These are also visualized in a **bar chart**
-   Giggio alerts you on the **dashboard** when a performer invoice is due.
-   When you receive their invoice:  
    1.  Enter the **invoice reference**
    2.  Click **Save Invoice Number**
    3.  Add the **payment date**
