I have successfully created an app that uses webhooks for bookings. It tests just fine, but does not notify me when there is a new booking (appointment).
Guidance please.
Hi @rrussell1907 welcome to the forums!
Do you mean that you’re not receiving webhooks when there is a new appointment? If so, what is your application id and the location id you’re not receiving webhooks for?
Yes, nothing is being sent to the Location ID when a new appointment is booked.
Application ID = sq0idp-zEv8a7eUz-JxeljuCA9CCQ
Location ID = https://rebeccarussell.com/ROR/receiver_square.php
Thanks for your response.
Are the appointments being created via the API or via the Appointments dashboard? I believe it will only be sent for appointments created via the API.
Via the Appointments dashboard. That is disappointing. Thanks for the Information and the prompt reply.
Same issue.
It doesn’t make sense that new appts from the actual app.dont trigger these webhooks. Isn’t that the intended use? If i did it via API, i would al ready have that info info in my web app and thus not need a webhook.
Same issue as well. Webhook doesn’t trigger when a booking is made via the Square online booking site.
Why is it expected behavior to only send webhook notifications for appointments created via the API? It seems like this defeats the purpose of the webhooks…
Are there plans to add this functionality in the future? @sjosey
Has anyone else been able to find a sufficient workaround for gathering new appointment data? None of the endpoints seem to “list” new appointments, so not sure polling is an option…
