Create an API key or OAuth token for Snapshots API and grant access to Acuity Scheduling so data can move securely between systems.
Approve the connection in Acuity Scheduling to allow Snapshots API to read locations and push updates to events and calendars.
Endpoint 1: GET /locations. The remaining endpoints are not shown here but can be enabled as needed in future iterations.
Trigger: A new or updated location in Snapshots API triggers a sync to Acuity Scheduling.
Actions: Create or update the corresponding location in Acuity Scheduling; map fields like name, address, and timezone.
GET /locations
location_id, name, address, city, country, timezone
Trigger: An appointment status change in Acuity Scheduling updates Snapshots API and triggers a data sync.
Actions: Update appointment details in Snapshots API and surface status changes in Acuity Scheduling connectors.
Not required for this flow
appointment_id, status, start_time, end_time, customer_name
Trigger: Availability blocks in either system update the other to prevent double bookings.
Actions: Replicate availability data between systems; disable conflicting bookings when necessary.
Not required for this flow
slot_id, start_time, end_time, available
No-code setup enables you to connect Snapshots API to Acuity Scheduling without writing code or managing servers.
Automations run on schedule or on demand, cutting manual data entry and errors.
Scale across locations and teams with simple configuration and clear dashboards.
This glossary defines core terms, data elements, and processes used in this integration between Snapshots API and Acuity Scheduling.
GHL refers to the integration layer (the GHL API name used in this page) that connects Snapshots API with Acuity Scheduling through the Zapier App Connector.
API stands for Application Programming Interface, the set of endpoints used to exchange data between Snapshots API and Acuity Scheduling.
OAuth 2.0 is the standard authorization framework used to grant secure access without sharing credentials.
A specific URL path for an API operation, such as GET /locations.
When a location is added in Snapshots API, automatically create or update a corresponding calendar in Acuity Scheduling to keep availability aligned.
Push appointment changes from Acuity Scheduling to Snapshots API and reflect updates in both systems to reduce misalignment.
Aggregate data from Snapshots API and Acuity Scheduling into dashboards for better decision-making.
Obtain an API key or OAuth token for Snapshots API and authorize Acuity Scheduling to access the necessary data.
Map Snapshots fields to Acuity Scheduling fields and select endpoints like GET /locations to enable data flow.
Run tests, verify results, then deploy and set up ongoing monitoring and alerts.
The Snapshots API provides programmatic access to read and retrieve data from your Snapshots environment. This page outlines how to connect that API to Acuity Scheduling and automate data flows without custom code. You will learn authentication, endpoint usage, and best practices for reliable syncing. By following these steps, you can establish a stable, no-code bridge between the two platforms.
OAuth is the recommended method for secure access. You’ll generate an access token or API key for Snapshots API and grant Acuity Scheduling the minimum permissions needed. This keeps credentials private while enabling automatic data transfers. If you’re new to OAuth, start with the provider’s developer docs and configure scope and redirect URLs correctly.
The integration uses a core set of endpoints to discover locations and manage appointment data as needed. In this guide we reference GET /locations as a primary example; additional endpoints can be enabled as your use case grows. Always map fields carefully to ensure data integrity between systems.
Testing is done in a sandbox or staging environment first. Run test transactions for creating, updating, and reading data, then verify that the results reflect correctly in both systems. Set up alerts for failures and perform end-to-end checks before going live.
Data typically synced includes location details, calendar/availability, and appointment information. The exact fields depend on what you map during setup. The goal is a consistent, up-to-date view across Snapshots API and Acuity Scheduling.
Yes. Automations can run on a schedule or trigger-based, depending on your configuration. This reduces manual intervention and helps maintain data consistency across platforms. You can adjust triggers and frequency as needed.
API usage limits vary by plan. Check the Snapshots API provider’s quotas and monitor usage in the dashboard. If you approach limits, you can throttle requests or stagger syncs to avoid interruptions.
Due to high volume, we will be upgrading our server soon!
