What it does
Three Things to Check Before You Build With an API
Most of what you need is already connected
Calendars, video tools, payment processors, website builders, mailing lists, and analytics can connect to Picktime without custom code. These are simple booking API examples of tasks you may be able to handle with an existing integration instead of building a custom solution.

Use the booking API for custom-built solutions
Need bookings inside your own product or a unique internal system? That’s where Picktime’s booking API fits. Existing integrations handle the standard connections, while the API lets developers build for specific needs.

Why it matters
Before You Build a Booking API, You Must Read This
Most people looking for a booking API want to connect Picktime’s appointment scheduling software to their website or another tool. But you may not need code at all. Picktime already offers integrations and website booking options that you can set up with a sign-in or a simple embed.
Building a custom API integration just to add bookings to a WordPress site can cost time and developer resources. Picktime’s website embed lets you add your booking page with a snippet. Before comparing booking API pricing or reading the booking API documentation, check whether an existing connection can do the job.
The best approach is to start with a direct integration, try Zapier if you need to connect workflows, and use the booking API when you need something custom. For example, you might build booking into your own product or connect Picktime to an internal system without an existing integration. If that is your use case, explore the Booking API and check whether the Booking API for Developers option meets your needs.

Questions
FAQs
Do I need a developer to set up Picktime integrations?
No. You can set up Picktime integrations without a developer, including supported calendar, payment, and virtual meeting connections. Custom workflows using webhooks require a receiving endpoint and may need technical help to process booking events.
Where can I set up integrations in Picktime?
You can find many supported integrations under Setup > Integrations in your Picktime dashboard. Select the integration you want to use and follow its setup instructions. Some connections, including payment gateways, have their own settings sections, so the exact steps depend on the service.
Which Picktime integrations are available on the free plan?
Picktime’s Free plan includes integrations such as PayPal, Jitsi Meet, Mailchimp, HubSpot, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel. It also supports one-way Calendar Sync and website booking integrations. Additional integrations are available on paid plans. For current plan details, check out Picktime pricing.
Can I connect Picktime with Zapier?
Not yet. Picktime’s native Zapier integration is currently marked as coming soon. In the meantime, you can use available direct integrations to connect supported services. For custom workflows, Picktime also documents webhooks that can send booking updates to an external system.
What can I use Picktime webhooks for?
Picktime webhooks send booking event data to your own application when an appointment, class, or resource booking changes. Your software can use these notifications to update records or start workflows, such as notifying another team about a new appointment.
Can I connect Picktime to my own software?
Yes, Picktime’s webhooks can send booking event data to your own software through a configured endpoint. This lets your system receive notifications when bookings are created, updated, or deleted. If your software needs to make changes directly in Picktime, confirm the available API capabilities before development.
Can I create or manage appointments using the Picktime API?
Picktime’s published webhook documentation supports notifications about appointment creation, updates, and deletions. However, it does not confirm API endpoints for creating, rescheduling, or canceling appointments directly from external software. Contact Picktime support to verify whether the specific booking operations your application needs are supported.
Is the Picktime API free to use?
Picktime’s public pricing information does not clearly specify whether general Booking API access is included in the Free plan or requires separate arrangements. Check with Picktime support for current API availability, access requirements, and any applicable charges before starting development.
