How to Send Bookly Data to Braze

Braze is a marketing automation platform. Bookly manages an appointment is booked, but sending that data to external platforms needs an integration. AFI bridges that gap to Braze.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-appointment fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Bookly installed and configured.
• A Braze account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

Connect Braze to AFI

1. Log in to your Braze dashboard.
2. Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Braze.
4. Enter the API Key and REST endpoint, then click Save.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Bookly to Braze.

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 Braze as the destination

Choose Braze from the platform dropdown and pick Add User. This creates or updates a user in Braze.

4. Map fields

Match each Braze 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 Braze 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 and name to Braze with unlimited records. Pro adds custom attributes and events. No per-record fees on any plan.
