Every booking becomes a record
Short version: Connect Bookafy to Salesforce and every appointment booked on your calendar becomes a record in Salesforce — a new Lead, a Contact, or an activity on an existing one. It runs through Zapier or Make, or through Bookafy’s open API if you want it wired in properly.
The gap it closes is small and expensive: someone books a demo, the meeting lands on your calendar, and Salesforce knows nothing about it until a rep remembers to type it in. Half of them do not. Pipeline reporting quietly goes wrong.
With the integration, the booking is the record. The moment a customer picks a slot, Salesforce gets the name, email, phone, the service they booked, the time, and whatever custom questions you asked on the booking form.
Bookafy is a published Zapier app. These are the real triggers and actions today — worth reading before you design a flow, because they set the boundaries:
| Bookafy triggers | Bookafy actions |
|---|---|
| New Appointment New Customer New Appointment Type New User |
Create Appointment Create Customer |
There is a ready-made Zap template on Zapier for exactly the common case: create new Bookafy customers in Salesforce as leads. Note that Salesforce is a Premium app on Zapier, so it needs a paid Zapier plan — that is Zapier’s rule, not ours.
Zapier polls. On Zapier’s free plan it checks Bookafy for new data every 15 minutes. If a rep expects the Lead to exist thirty seconds after the booking, they will be disappointed. Paid Zapier plans poll faster; Bookafy’s webhooks and open API fire in real time and are the right answer if latency matters.
There is no cancellation trigger. A Zap cannot currently react to an appointment being cancelled or rescheduled. If you need Salesforce to know a demo fell through, use the API. This is a real gap and we would rather you find out here than three hours into building a flow.
Getting the record into Salesforce is only half of it. The reason a booked demo does not happen is that the prospect forgets. Bookafy includes SMS and email reminders and pre-meeting emails as standard, plus skill-based routing and round robin so the lead goes to the right rep and not just the first one. A demo that gets attended is worth more to your pipeline than a tidy record of one that did not.
For Salesforce, yes — Zapier classes Salesforce as a Premium app. Or skip Zapier and use Bookafy’s open API.
Yes, if you build the lookup step. Match on email before you create anything.
Not through Zapier — there is no cancellation trigger. Use webhooks or the API for that.
Yes. Bookafy connects through Zapier and Make, and offers an open API and webhooks for custom work.
Bookafy also connects to 3,000+ apps through Zapier and Make, and offers an open API and webhooks for anything custom.
