What This Workflow Does
This automation solves a common problem for service businesses using Acuity Scheduling: missed marketing opportunities when new clients book appointments. Without automation, staff must manually copy-paste client information from Acuity into GetResponse, wasting valuable time and often resulting in incomplete or delayed follow-ups.
The workflow automatically creates a new GetResponse contact whenever someone books an appointment in Acuity Scheduling. It captures all relevant client information including name, email, phone number, and appointment details, ensuring your marketing system stays perfectly synced with your booking system.
How It Works
1. New appointment trigger
The workflow monitors your Acuity Scheduling account for new appointments. As soon as a client books a session, the automation is triggered.
2. Data extraction
Key client information is pulled from the Acuity appointment, including contact details and any custom form fields you've set up in your scheduling system.
3. Contact creation
The workflow checks if the client already exists in GetResponse. If not, it creates a new contact with all relevant details. Existing contacts are updated with the latest appointment information.
4. List assignment
The new contact is automatically added to your specified GetResponse list and tagged based on the type of appointment booked for targeted follow-up.

- Coaches and consultants using Acuity for client bookings
