Altegio
What it is
Altegio is an international online-booking and business management platform for beauty salons, barbershops, clinics, fitness studios and other service businesses. It is the international version of YCLIENTS. The integration uses Altegio's public online-booking API: the bot shows a location's services and team members, finds free dates and times, books the client and cancels the booking. The booking shows up in the location's schedule right away.
Requirements
- A location in Altegio with online booking enabled: services and team members must be available for online booking.
- A partner token — issued after developer registration in the Altegio Marketplace. The app that owns the token must have access to your location.
- The location ID — the number in the Altegio dashboard URL.
How to connect
- Register as a developer in the Altegio Marketplace and copy the partner token.
- Copy the location ID from the Altegio dashboard URL.
- In the constructor, open Integrations → find the Altegio card → Connect.
- Fill in the Partner token and Location ID fields.
- Save the connection and click Check connection. The button requests the online-booking service list and shows how many services were found.
Available operations
| Operation | What it does |
|---|---|
| List services | Online-booking services: ID, title, price from/to, duration. Can be filtered by team member |
| List team members | Online-booking team members: ID, name, specialization, rating. Can be filtered by service and time |
| Available dates | Dates with free time, taking the service and team member into account |
| Available times | Free slots on the chosen date; without a team member — with anyone available |
| Create booking | Checks the slot and books the client (name, phone, email, comment). Returns the booking ID and hash |
| Cancel booking | Cancels a booking by its ID and hash |
Limitations
- Operations only see services and team members that are open for online booking in the location settings.
- One connection works with one location. For a chain, create a separate connection per location.
- Altegio rate-limits requests: 200 per minute and 5 per second per IP. Don't call lists in a loop — store the result in variables.
- If the location requires confirming the client's phone with an SMS code, Altegio rejects bookings without the code. Turn phone confirmation off in the online-booking settings to book through the bot.
- Client lookup, visit history and rescheduling are not part of the public online-booking API.
- Dates and times use ISO 8601. To create a booking, use the
datetimefield from the «Available times» result.
Notes
A typical booking flow: «List services» → «Available times» for the chosen date → «Create booking».
Store
record_idandrecord_hashfrom «Create booking» in the client's variables — the bot needs them to cancel the booking.
If the chosen slot has already been taken, Altegio returns an error at the check step and no booking is created. Offer the client another time from «Available times».
