Editorial disclosure: I work at Zellbox. Booksy described from their product page as of August 2026.
Booksy is a global salon + barber + wellness booking marketplace. Zellbox adds WhatsApp reminders on top for customers who prefer WhatsApp over Booksy’s built-in SMS/push.
How it works
- In Booksy for Business → Settings → Integrations → Google Calendar → connect.
- In Zellbox → Onboarding step 2 → connect the same Google Calendar.
- Every Booksy booking now appears on Google Calendar. Zellbox fires WhatsApp reminders at 24 h and 2 h.
What Zellbox adds beyond Booksy’s built-in reminders
- WhatsApp channel for customers who don’t check push notifications from the Booksy app.
- Signed consent PDFs for wax + aesthetic services.
- Two-way replies land in your Zellbox inbox.
