Frequently asked questions

Ceven interacts with Appointo via its API to check for existing slots before attempting to write a new appointment. When a workflow triggers a booking, the agent first calls the list appointments action for that specific staff member and time window. If the slot is already taken, the agent can be configured to suggest the next three available openings to the customer or flag the conflict for a human manager. This prevents double booking and ensures that the Shopify storefront always reflects actual capacity. You can define the logic for how the agent handles these collisions within the workflow builder using a simple conditional branch.
Yes. You can build a workflow that monitors new Appointo bookings and assigns them to staff based on a set of rules. For example, you can tell the agent to assign any booking labeled as a complex service to your senior staff members first. If no senior staff are available, the agent can move down the priority list. This happens in real time, meaning the staff member receives their notification and the calendar is updated immediately. You can also integrate this with an external HR tool to ensure only active employees are assigned to new sessions.
Ceven acts as the bridge between the two. While Appointo is built for Shopify, Ceven allows you to push specific appointment metadata into Shopify customer notes or tags. For instance, when a booking is completed in Appointo, the agent can tag the customer in Shopify as a recent visitor. This allows you to run targeted marketing campaigns based on actual appointment history rather than just purchase history. You can also trigger a Shopify order creation the moment an Appointo slot is reserved if you want to handle payments through the standard Shopify checkout flow.
The moment a cancellation occurs, Appointo sends an event that Ceven picks up. You can then trigger a series of automated actions. This could include sending a personalized apology email, offering a discount code for a future booking via Shopify, or updating a Google Sheet for business tracking. Because the agent has context on the customer, it can differentiate between a customer who cancels frequently and a first time canceler, allowing you to apply different business logic, such as charging a cancellation fee for repeat offenders through the Shopify API.
Ceven is bound by the API rate limits set by Appointo. For most stores, this is not an issue, but very high volume stores might hit limits during peak booking windows. Appointo uses a tiered API limit system based on your subscription plan. If you exceed these limits, the API will return a rate limit error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will wait a few seconds and try again automatically. You will see a warning in your workflow logs if an action is delayed due to these provider limits.
Yes. If you have multiple locations configured in Appointo, Ceven can distinguish between them using the location ID. You can build workflows that route bookings to specific locations based on the customer address or a selection made during the booking process. The agent can also pull aggregate reports across all locations to show you which site is performing best or which staff members are most utilized. This makes it easy to balance the load between different branches of your business without manually checking each calendar.
Ceven can manage recurring appointments by creating a series of individual bookings through the create appointment action. Since the API typically handles single slots, the agent calculates the dates for the recurring series based on your specified interval, such as every Tuesday for six weeks, and creates each entry separately. This ensures that each single session can still be managed, rescheduled, or canceled independently without affecting the rest of the series, providing a more flexible experience for both the business owner and the end customer.
Ceven connects to Appointo using the standard API credentials provided in your Appointo dashboard. Once you provide the API key and store URL, Ceven establishes a secure connection. We store these credentials using industry standard encryption and they are never shared with the model or exposed in plain text within your workflows. You can rotate your API keys at any time within the Appointo admin panel, and you simply need to update the key in the Ceven connection settings to restore the flow of data between the two systems.
