Here’s what you need to do to integrate Gruveo with Acuity Scheduling:
1. In your Acuity Scheduling profile, click on the Business Settings tab in the left navigation bar and choose the last option, E-mail Settings.
The Business Settings tab in the Acuity Scheduling profile.
2. Click "Initial Confirmation".
The Initial Confirmation tab in the E-mail Settings section of your Acuity Scheduling profile.
3. Go to "Body of the email" and adjust the text as needed. Include the following text to have a one-time Gruveo room link generated automatically: https://www.gruveo.com/%appointmentID%
The room link placeholder in the Initial Confirmation email template.
4. The custom field that we're using here to generate call room links is %appointmentID%, which in Acuity Scheduling is always replaced with the numeric appointment ID and therefore works perfectly as a name of a unique Gruveo call room. This is what the Gruveo room link looks like in the booking confirmation email that your clients will receive:
The one-time Gruveo room link in the body of the Initial Confirmation email that your clients will receive.
5. Acuity Scheduling lets you include the Gruveo room link in all of the email types offered so you can put it into Reminders, Rescheduling and also Package/Gift Certificate Order emails. Very convenient, don't you think?
6. Hit the Preview button in the bottom to see what the finished email looks like. When you're happy with it, press the Save Template button to save your edits.
7. From now on, all your booking confirmations will include a unique Gruveo room link that your clients can use to connect to you. When the time for your appointment comes, they simply click this link and when you click it too, your session will start. Learn more about how Gruveo call rooms work.
