Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Bookly to ConvertKit.
2. Pick your trigger
Select Bookly as the form provider. AFI fires when an appointment is booked, giving you access to customer name, email, phone, service name, staff member, appointment date, and time.
3. Select ConvertKit as the destination
Choose ConvertKit from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This adds a subscriber to ConvertKit.
4. Map fields
Match each ConvertKit field on the left to the corresponding Bookly field on the right. Common mappings include customer name, email, phone, service name, staff member, appointment date, and time. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.
5. Add conditions if needed
Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.
6. Save and test
Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Bookly. Check ConvertKit to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.
Free vs Pro
The free version maps email, first name, and last name to ConvertKit with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and tag assignment. No per-record fees on any plan.
