FieldTypeMandatoryDescription
phonestringYESClient's phone number (eg +13155550175)
full namestringYESClient name
emailstringNOPostal address of the client
appointmentsArray of objectsYESBooking options (services, team members...)

notify_by_emailnumberNONumber of hours in advance to send an email reminder for the appointment (set to 0 to disable the reminder).

The appointments array consists of objects that have the following fields:

FieldTypeMandatoryDescription
idnumberYesAppointment ID for post-save feedback (see response to request).
servicesarray of numbersNOArray of IDs of the services the client wants to sign up for
staff_idnumberYESID of the team member the client wants to book with (0 if any team member is selected)
datetimedatetimeYESSession date and time in ISO8601 format (passed for each session in the book_times resource)
custom_fieldskey-value objectNOCustom field values that are returned with the appointment

Custom fields in the appointments array

When custom appointment fields are created (see the "Custom Fields" section), you can pass custom values for them during appointment creation. These fields are unique to each location. Once the custom fields are set up, their values can be included in the optional custom_fields parameter. This should be passed as a key–value object, where each key corresponds to the code of the custom field. Example:

  • location created an custom appointment field with code="my_custom_field" type="number", and a second field code="some_another_field" type="list"
  • When creating an appointment, another attribute was passed in the appointments array element: "" appointments: [{ ... }, { ... custom_fields: { "my_custom_field": 123, "some_another_field": ["first value", "second value"] } }]"
  • When this appointment is received by the GET method later, the same value of custom fields will be returned in the response

In response to the request to create an appointment, an array of objects will come (the number of objects is equal to the number of objects in the appointments array) with the following fields:

FieldTypeDescription
idnumberThe appointment ID as passed in the original appointments array
record_idnumberThe unique identifier of the appointment created in the system
record_hashstringA temporary ID used for deleting the appointment immediately after creation
