Phone bookings that land in Square Appointments
GreetKeeper books the caller and posts a webhook. A Zap on a paid Zapier plan catches it, and Square's Create Appointment action writes the booking.
Caller
“Do you have anyone free for a beard trim this morning? First time in, I'm just round the corner.”
What happened next
- Trim booked for 11:30 and read back to the caller
- Zap found no match, so it created a Square customer first
- Create Appointment put the 11:30 visit on your Square calendar

How GreetKeeper books into Square Appointments
Square Appointments is the booking side of your Square account, sitting beside your card readers, point-of-sale app and customer directory. Its Zapier listing is simply called Square.
GreetKeeper reaches it through Zapier. When your call ends, GreetKeeper posts a webhook. Webhooks by Zapier catches it with Catch Hook, which needs a paid Zapier plan (Professional or above). Square's own actions do the writing.
On Square's Zapier listing we found Create Appointment, Create Customer and Update Customer, with Find Customer and Find Service searches (checked September 2026). Create Appointment asks for a location, a team member, a customer, a service and the date and time.
What lands in Square after the call
A customer profile, then an appointment on the right person's calendar.
Your Zap searches the directory for the caller's number first. Your regulars stay one profile each. A new caller gets a profile with their name, mobile and email if they gave it.
Next, Find Service matches what they asked for, and Create Appointment books the time GreetKeeper agreed on the call. Your staff see it on the Square calendar, with the reason for calling in the note.
Your customer pays at your reader or on a Square link you send. After the call, your caller gets one text with the booking confirmation, and replying with the opt-out word stops any more.
Connecting GreetKeeper to Square
Decide which location and team members take phone bookings before you start.
Match GreetKeeper's hours to your Square schedule
Give GreetKeeper the same opening hours, services and appointment lengths you use in Square. Every time a caller hears then fits the book at the counter.
Catch the hook and connect Square
Start the Zap with Webhooks by Zapier on Catch Hook and paste its address into GreetKeeper. Connect your Square account and pick the location phone bookings belong to.
Find or create the customer, then find the service
Add Find Customer on the caller's mobile, with Create Customer when nothing matches. Tidy the number format in a Zapier step first, so spaces and dashes don't cause a miss. Then add Find Service on what the caller asked for.
Add Create Appointment and test at the counter
Map the location, team member, customer, service and time. Ring in as a customer, then open Square on the counter device and look for the booking.
Keeping Square bookings tidy
Run two locations? Give each one its own GreetKeeper number, with its own hours and greeting, and point each Zap at the right Square location.
Keep notes to what a caller expects a shop to remember, because your staff read them at the counter.
Deposits work through a Square payment link you send after the call, so card details stay off the phone line.
