Send booking email from another system

When using Bambuser's native booking solution, you have two options to send email notifications to customers

1: Let Bambuser send booking emails

If you let Bambuser to send booking emails, the setup is quite simple. However, there is a limitation in terms of how much you can customize the email templates as well as from what domain the email gets sent (will always be bookings@bambuser.net).

2: Send booking email from another system

With this option, you have the full control on how your those emails are structured. This is achieved by a webhook sent from our side to your backend to pass appointment data. It's then up to you to compose an email with your branding and sender's address. The article below explains how the setup works.

Requirements

Endpoint - You will need to setup and provide us with an URL to which we will push the webhook with appointment data to.

Setup​

Reach out to your Bambuser contact person​

Reach out to your Bambuser contact person stating that you would like to enable this feature for your organization. In the request, you will need to provide your endpoint that will receive the webhook including the headers required to authorize our request.

Example:​

  • URL: https://your-company-api.com/webhooks/bambuserAppointments
  • Headers: Authorization: Bearer APIKEYFORBAMBUSERTOACCESSYOURAPI

Compose your own custom emails​

In the above step, Bambuser will give you access to Appoinments webhook. The webhook payload contains all needed information to compose your own emails
