What This Workflow Does

This automation bridges the gap between client scheduling and task execution by automatically creating Trello cards for every new Acuity Scheduling appointment. It eliminates manual data entry, reduces human error, and ensures immediate task visibility for your team.

When a client books an appointment through your Acuity Scheduling page, the workflow instantly generates a corresponding Trello card with all relevant details. This creates a seamless handoff between scheduling and service delivery teams, particularly valuable for service businesses managing multiple client appointments daily.

How It Works

1. New Appointment Trigger

The workflow monitors your Acuity Scheduling account for new appointments via Make.com's instant webhook technology.

2. Data Extraction

Key appointment details (client name, service type, date/time, custom form responses) are extracted from the Acuity booking.

3. Trello Card Creation

The system creates a new card in your specified Trello board, populating the title, description, checklist items, and due date based on the appointment data.

4. Optional Enhancements

Advanced configurations can add labels based on service type, attach client documents, or trigger additional actions like Slack notifications.

  • Manage 10+ appointments weekly through Acuity Scheduling

  • Want to standardize post-appointment follow-up processes

Consultants track proposal follow-ups, health practitioners manage patient prep tasks, and educators coordinate lesson planning from booked sessions.
