How it works with Bookafy
When an appointment is booked in Bookafy, you can automatically fetch a unique URL for your Zoom meeting with our Zoom Integration.
Automation will save an incredible amount of time!
Without Bookafy - 7-10 steps
With Bookafy - 1-2 steps 🙂
Bookafy automates the way Zoom meetings are booked, the way confirmations and reminders go out, how the zoom link is included in the calendar.
Without Bookafy, a Zoom meeting takes several steps to coordinate. Agreeing on a meeting time, creating link in zoom, adding the link to your calendar, sending a confirmation email, sending a reminder email with the link. Each meeting can take 7-10 steps.
With Bookafy, each meeting can be organized in 0-2 steps by the staff member.
Share Calendar then simply click on the Zoom link at the meeting time.
That's it. Bookafy will fetch the URL, add it to the calendar attachments, add the links to confirmation emails, automatically send text and email reminders with the zoom link.
We make it very very simple!
Frequently Asked Questions
Using Zoom, can you have multiple users in Bookafy connecting with different links?
Yes. Each user inside of Bookafy can connect their own zoom profile to their Bookafy profile. This allows your organization to have an unlimited number of unique appointments happening at the same time with each user. Every user will generate a unique meeting ID that is associated with their own Zoom account.
Can I use the free Bookafy account and the free Zoom account
Yes. With the free Bookafy account you will not be able to fetch unique URLs for each meeting, but you can certainly connect your Zoom room to each meeting and then we will automatically include your room link for each appointment in the calendar attachments, downloads, confirmation emails and reminder emails.
For a solo entrepreneur, this method works great! The downside is that all appointments will have the same link/ID, the upside is that it is simple to organize and you can use buffer times in Bookafy to make sure each appointment has enough time between to prevent two customers from showing up on the same link. When we first started out, this is how we operated! 🙂
