How to Send Bookly Data to Iterable
Iterable is a marketing automation platform. Bookly handles an appointment is booked on your WordPress site. Iterable is where that data needs to go. Here is how to connect them without Zapier or code.
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 Iterable account.
- The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).
Connect Iterable to AFI
- Log in to your Iterable account.
- Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your API Key.
- In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → Iterable.
- Enter the API Key and data center, then click Save.
Setting up the integration
1. Create a new integration
Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Bookly to Iterable.
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 Iterable as the destination
Choose Iterable from the platform dropdown and pick Add User. This creates or updates a user in Iterable.
4. Map fields
Match each Iterable 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 Iterable 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 Iterable with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and data fields. No per-record fees on any plan.
