What This Workflow Does

This automation solves the tedious and error-prone process of manually transferring appointments from Acuity Scheduling to Google Calendar. Service businesses, consultants, and healthcare providers often lose valuable time copying appointment details between systems, risking double bookings or missed appointments when entries don't match.

The workflow automatically creates a corresponding Google Calendar event every time a new appointment gets booked through Acuity Scheduling. It transfers all relevant details including client name, appointment time, service type, duration, and any custom fields you've set up in Acuity. This ensures your calendar always reflects your true availability and prevents scheduling conflicts.

How It Works

1. Trigger on new Acuity appointments

The workflow activates instantly when a client books an appointment through your Acuity Scheduling portal. Make.com detects the new booking through Acuity's API.

2. Extract appointment details

The system pulls all relevant information from the Acuity booking including date, time, duration, client information, service type, and any custom fields you've configured.

3. Create Google Calendar event

Using the extracted details, the workflow automatically generates a corresponding event in your specified Google Calendar with all appointment information pre-populated.

4. Confirm synchronization

The system verifies the calendar event was created successfully and can optionally send you a confirmation notification through email or Slack.

Pro tip: Extend this workflow to automatically send appointment reminders to clients by adding a step that triggers 24-48 hours before each synced calendar event.
