I’ll describe you the steps you need to follow to connect Salon Booking System with Google Meet. 

The goal is to automatically set a virtual meeting session after a reservation.

This guide will be helpful if you use our plugin to set a virtual meeting with your clients.

Requirements:

• Google / Gmail account
• an account on zapier.com ( a free account is ok too)

Zap summary:

• Trigger app – Salon Booking System – new booking 
• Action app –  Google Meet – new meeting

Step-by-step process:

• Log-into your zapier.com account or create a new one
• click on this “private zap invitation link” : https://bit.ly/3B4GeKV
• click on “Accept invite and build a zap” button
• click on “Create a zap” button

Trigger:

• search for “Salon Booking System WordPress plugin” and select
• Trigger event: Choose an event  / select “new booking”
• Choose account:  click on “Connect a new account” – a pop-up window will be opened
  • Enter the “Site URL” ( from Salon Booking Sysem / settings / general / API service / Zapier / Site url )
  • Enter the “API key” ( from Salon Booking Sysem / settings / general / API service / Zapier / Api key )
• Setup trigger: “Booking status” / Choose value ( select which booking status to be considered to set a meeting ) ex: “Paid”, “Confirmed” or “Pay later”

• Description: as above, you can decide which booking details you want to display inside the “Description” field of the event
• Start date & Start time: select “Booking date” and “Booking time”
• End date & End time: use the same fields as above ( in the next releases will add the “booking end date & time”) too.

It’s time for a test, and then “Turn on” your Zap.
