Hello everyone,
My wife runs a small beauty salon. On our website we use squarespace acuity scheduling for clients to book online appointments. We also use treatwell (it's like uber for salons, great to get new customers) but this calendar doesn't sync with any external calendars (used to sync one way with google but not anymore).
When treatwell used to sync one way all our own website appointments were automatically blocked in treatwell but we had to manually add blocks in scheduling (our website) when a booking was made in treatwell. Now that not even the one way sync works we have to manually block each appointment in both calendars.
We need something that will automatically block time slots in both calendars according to new bookings made. No booking info required just the calendar (employee) and start and end times. This would need to run automatically 24/7 and auto trigger once new appointment is booked in either calendar or every 2-5 minutes.
Our website calendar (scheduling) syncs 2 way with google calendar but as treatwell doesn’t now we do it manually which is very time consuming and frustrating sometimes and if we don’t do it fast enough we might have double/overlapping bookings. I’d like to sync treatwell directly to squarespace and not via google calendar if possible, but as a last resort will use the squarespace-google integration.
As far as I know treatwell doesn't have an API which might be a problem.
Both treatwell and squarespace need login information.
If possible to get notifications about the tasks performed even better (eg.: when it automatically adds a block or modifies/canceles a block in either calendar).
The bot/software basically needs to block time slots in squarespace/treatwell based on appointments booked on the other platform. It also need to update the block if rescheduled or delete it if appointment is cancelled. It also needs updating if any changes come into place. It doesn't need to fill in client or appointment information just add a block in the calendar with the correct therapist.
It this achievable with zapier? If so how would I go about it?
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, please ask any further questions if you need.
PS.: I did reach out to some professionals to create a standalone software but the quotes we received were over our budget and I’d thought about trying to give it a go myself.
