Is it possible to integrate a booking app on a website that connects with a Google Calendar to show available time slots and allows the client to approve appointments before adding them to the calendar? What are the preferred web apps or tools to achieve this with Webflow?

TL;DR
  • Use Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, or SimplyBook.me to sync with Google Calendar and require manual approval before confirming appointments.
  • Calendly: Enable "Pending Approval" in event settings and embed via Webflow's Embed element.
  • Acuity Scheduling: Set manual approval in "Scheduling Restrictions" and embed via code.
  • SimplyBook.me: Configure services to "Require Admin Approval" and embed using iframe or JavaScript.
  • Zapier: Automate approvals using Tally, Typeform, or Webflow Forms, then create events in Google Calendar once approved.
  • Calendly with Pending Approval is the easiest option for Webflow integration.

Yes, you can integrate a booking app on a Webflow website that syncs with Google Calendar and requires client approval before confirming appointments. Several third-party tools offer this functionality.

1. Use Calendly with Manual Approval

  • Calendly allows booking appointments that sync with Google Calendar.
  • To enable approvals, set event type to "Pending Approval" in the Event Settings.
  • When a client selects a time, you review and approve requests before they get added to your calendar.
  • Embed Calendly using the embed code in Webflow via an Embed element.

2. Use Acuity Scheduling

  • Acuity Scheduling integrates with Google Calendar and supports appointment approvals.
  • You can set manual approval settings under "Scheduling Restrictions".
  • Clients request a time, and you approve or decline requests.
  • Use the embed code to add the booking UI to Webflow.

3. Use SimplyBook.me

  • SimplyBook.me offers Google Calendar integration and allows manual booking approvals.
  • Configure services to "Require Admin Approval" before confirmation.
  • Embed the booking widget in Webflow using the iframe or JavaScript embed code.

4. Use Zapier for Custom Workflows

  • If using Tally, Typeform, or Webflow Forms, you can automate approvals via Zapier.
  • Workflow:
  • Client fills out a request form.
  • You review the request manually.
  • Once approved, Zapier creates an event in Google Calendar.
  • This approach gives more flexibility but may require manual admin work.

Summary

The best Webflow-friendly tools for Google Calendar integration with appointment approvals are Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, SimplyBook.me, and Zapier-based custom flows. Among these, Calendly with Pending Approval is the easiest to set up.
