How to Send Bookly Data to Microsoft Dataverse
Microsoft Dataverse is a database platform. Here is how to pipe Bookly appointment straight into Microsoft Dataverse using Advanced Form Integration. The setup takes about five minutes and runs entirely on your own server.
Skip the automation middleman
Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to database. No task meter, no monthly bill.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Bookly installed and configured.
- A Microsoft Dataverse account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Microsoft Dataverse to AFI
Microsoft Dataverse uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Microsoft Dataverse, click Authorize and grant access. This is a one-time step.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Bookly to Microsoft Dataverse.
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 Microsoft Dataverse as the destination
Choose Microsoft Dataverse from the platform dropdown and pick Add Row. This creates a row in a Dataverse table.
4. Map fields
Match each Microsoft Dataverse 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 Microsoft Dataverse 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 standard table fields to Microsoft Dataverse with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping for all columns. No per-record fees on any plan.
