How to Send Bookly Data to Workable
Workable is a recruiting platform. Bookly handles an appointment is booked on your WordPress site. Workable is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.
Why not just use Zapier?
For connecting Bookly to recruiting, a cloud automation service adds cost and a dependency on an external server. AFI runs on your site with no task limits.
What you will need
- A WordPress site with Bookly installed and configured.
- A Workable account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Workable to AFI
Workable uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. In AFI → Settings → Workable, 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 Workable.
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 Workable as the destination
Choose Workable from the platform dropdown and pick Add Candidate. This adds a candidate in Workable.
4. Map fields
Match each Workable 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 Workable 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 name, email, and phone to Workable with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.
