Integration Between Odoo ERP and Booking & Appointment Systems
Why is the Integration Important?
Booking and appointment systems are essential tools for managing schedules and organizing clients’, patients’, or trainees’ appointments, allowing easy online or app-based booking.
Integrating with Odoo ERP helps to:
· Centralize appointment data with other company departments (HR, billing, CRM).
· Synchronize appointments with personal calendars like Google Calendar.
· Automate the booking process to reduce errors and provide a smooth user experience.
1. Integration with Google Calendar
· Odoo Calendar can be directly synced with Google Calendar.
· When an appointment is created or updated in Odoo, it is automatically reflected in Google Calendar, and vice versa.
· Users can view their schedules from any device or platform without logging into Odoo.
· This is ideal for doctors, trainers, or salon owners relying on precise scheduling.
️ 2. Integration with Online Booking Systems
Examples of popular booking platforms:
· Calendly
· Acuity Scheduling
· Setmore
· SimplyBook.me
How is the Integration Done?
· API Integration: Automatically transfer booking data (client info, appointment time, requested service) from the external system to Odoo.
· Webhooks: Update Odoo instantly when a new booking or change occurs.
· CRM Sync: Link new client data to contacts in Odoo.
· Billing Integration: Automatically create invoices based on bookings.
