What Booksy is
Booksy is booking software for barbers, salons and independent beauty professionals, paired with a consumer app where clients find and book providers.
Its strength is self-service. Clients rebook from their phone, get reminders, and leave reviews inside the app, which is why so much of a Booksy provider's volume never touches the phone.
Older clients, parents booking for children, and anyone in a hurry still ring. GreetKeeper answers them, and each call becomes a clear request that you book in under a minute.
Where the booking lands
With you, as a request that carries everything the caller said.
The call lands in GreetKeeper first. The scissor-only note, the mobile number and the day requested are stored there permanently.
An email goes out the moment the call ends, holding the name, the mobile, the service and the day. A shop with more than one chair can send the same details to a shared Google Sheet through Zapier, so nobody books the same kid twice. That Zap listens for our webhook, and Zapier only allows that on a paid plan.
Whoever runs your calendar finishes it in the Booksy app. The request is on your phone on Saturday evening, not in a voicemail you play back on Tuesday.
Setting it up
Ten minutes, and you don't need Zapier unless you want a shared list.
Decide who gets the request
A solo barber wants it on their own phone. A shop wants it somewhere everyone can see. Pick before you set anything up.
Pick the services worth taking by phone
For a barber that is usually a cut, a cut and beard, and a child's cut. Everything else can be a transfer. Fewer services means fewer wrong requests.
Make sure the caller's notes come through
GreetKeeper puts the caller's own words on the request. Details like scissors only are what make the appointment go well, so check that they read clearly.
Book a test cut and read what arrives
Ring in, ask for a cut, then open the email. If a detail your barber needs is missing, change what GreetKeeper asks.
Making phone bookings feel as smooth as the app
Have GreetKeeper tell callers a Booksy confirmation will follow once the desk adds the appointment. It sets the right expectation from the first minute.
Keep GreetKeeper's hours matched to your Booksy availability, so every window offered is one you can fill.
Read the summaries between clients. Each one has the caller's name, number, service and preferred time.
Questions about Booksy and GreetKeeper
Does GreetKeeper work with Booksy?
It works beside it. GreetKeeper answers the call and sends you the request with every detail, and you add it in the app.
Will the client get Booksy's reminder messages?
Once the appointment exists in Booksy, yes, according to your reminder settings. The reminders start from the moment you add it, not from the call.
Can it handle a client booking for someone else?
The caller's details go on the request, and the note says who the appointment is for. A parent booking for a child is common on the phone, and that note is what tells your barber before they meet a nervous four-year-old.
