Bubble.io and ScheduleOnce integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2024

Before diving into the step-by-step guide, it's important to understand that Bubble.io is a visual programming platform that allows you to build complete web applications without code, while ScheduleOnce is a powerful scheduling tool that helps automate appointment settings.

Integrating Bubble.io with ScheduleOnce allows your web application to benefit from automated scheduling, reducing manual procedures.

Please note this guide assumes that you have already signed up with both Bubble.io and ScheduleOnce.

Step 1: Login to Bubble.io Account

Start by logging in to your Bubble.io account. Once you're logged in, you'll be on the dashboard.

Step 2: Select or Create a New Project

From your Bubble.io dashboard, select an existing project where you'd like to implement the integration. If you want to start from scratch, you can create a new project.

Step 3: Navigating to Plugin

Once you've selected or created a project, you'll be directed to a design page. From the left-hand side of the dashboard’s menu, select ‘Plugins’.

Step 4: Add a New Plugin

After navigating to 'Plugins', click on the button labeled '+Add plugins'. This will prompt a dialog box to appear.

Step 5: Search for ScheduleOnce Plugin

In the dialog box, type 'ScheduleOnce' into the search bar and press enter. You may not find a direct ScheduleOnce plugin because there's no official Bubble.io plugin from ScheduleOnce. In such case, we will be using Zapier to create the integration between Bubble.io and ScheduleOnce.

Step 6: Add Zapier Plugin

In the same dialog box, type 'Zapier' into the search bar and press enter. Click on the Zapier plugin, review the details, and then install the plugin by clicking on the '+Install' button.

Step 7: Set up Zapier Integration

After installing the Zapier plugin, you need to set up the integration. In the Bubble.io Zapier plugin settings, you will see 'Authentication'. Click on 'Generate a new API key', copy it, and save it securely. You will use this key later to authenticate your Bubble.io app in Zapier.

Step 8: Sign up/Login to Zapier

If you haven’t signed up on Zapier, you need to create an account. If you already have an account, log in to it.

Step 9: Create a New Zap

Now, from your Zapier dashboard, click on the 'Make a Zap' button.

Step 10: Select ScheduleOnce as the Trigger App

Under 'Choose App & Event', search for ScheduleOnce and select it as your trigger. Select the trigger event according to your preference (like New Booking). Click continue.

Step 11: Connect ScheduleOnce Account

In the next step, you will be asked to connect to your ScheduleOnce account. Log in to your ScheduleOnce account if prompted.

Step 12: Set up Trigger

Now proceed to set up the trigger. Select the relevant options according to your preferences and then click 'Continue'.

Step 13: Test the Trigger

Zapier will prompt you to test the trigger. Click on the 'Test Trigger' button and ensure everything is working properly.

Step 14: Select Bubble.io as the Action App

Now under the 'Do this...' section, search for Bubble.io and select it as your action. Select the action event according to your preference (like Create a new thing). Click continue.

Step 15: Connect Bubble.io Account

Now Zapier will ask you to sign in to your Bubble.io account. Paste the API key you copied earlier in the respective field and log in.

Step 16: Set Up Action

Now proceed to set up the action. Map the details from ScheduleOnce to Bubble.io as required and then click 'Continue'.

Step 17: Test the Action

Zapier will now prompt you to test the action. Click on the 'Test Action' button and ensure everything works properly.

Step 18: Activate the Zap

If all the tests have passed successfully, the final step is to turn your new Zap on by clicking the 'Turn on Zap' button.

Once these steps are complete, the integration should be executed properly every time the trigger event happens in ScheduleOnce. Each new booking (or other selected triggers) in ScheduleOnce will now automatically result in the corresponding action in your Bubble.io application. Enjoy your new automated processes!

Please remember that any custom Bubble App needs its own unique set up to comply with your individual app requirements. Hence each trigger and action set-up can differ accordingly.
