A budget with no attribution
The source answer stayed in Acuity.
BoldBellowsAcuity Scheduling to Salesforce automation for multi-location businesses that measure acquisition
Acuity Scheduling to Salesforce automation that upserts each client by External ID, records where they heard of you from the intake form, and attaches the right campaign status
Acuity Scheduling to Salesforce automation tells a growing business where its clients come from. An intake form can ask how a client found you and returns the answer in the appointment's forms array, while a Salesforce CampaignMember can only take a status that the campaign defines. BoldBellows holds the service, the calendar and the appointment as one identity, holds the change until the appointment has stopped changing, then fetches the appointment, finds or creates the Lead or Contact under an External ID, records the source, and adds the campaign member at the status you chose.

Chapter 01 the unknown-source problem
A booked client whose source nobody recorded is a marketing budget you cannot measure
The intake form asks how the client found you. The answer stays in Acuity, so the marketing team spends on channels without knowing which of them produce bookings. When someone exports it, the client is created as a new Lead beside an existing Contact, the campaign membership is rejected for a status the campaign does not define, and a retried integration inserts the record again.
We knew who booked and never why they had chosen us.
A Lead beside a Contact
The export ignored what was already there.
A campaign status refused
The status was not one the campaign defines.
Before
After
Before
- The same change can land more than once
- Source answers stay in the booking system
- Imports duplicate existing people
After
- What is already there is found by a Salesforce External ID holding the Acuity client ID on each Lead and Contact, with a CampaignMember for the source
- Each client's source is recorded on the lead
- Campaign membership uses valid statuses
Chapter 02 How it works
How an Acuity client becomes a Salesforce lead with a source and a campaign status
What reaches Salesforce has passed a rule, a key check and a search.
Open the event properly
Identifiers and time are recorded, the source state is read and the appointment event is assessed against the route brief.
Verify, fetch, look up
With the signature confirmed, the appointment is retrieved along with the intake form, and Salesforce is searched for an existing Contact or Lead by email.
Upsert, source, campaign
The record is upserted under its External ID, the source is written, and the campaign member is added at a status the campaign defines.
Platform notes behind the Salesforce route
- Services and calendars are separate: An appointment type is the service and a calendar is the person or place providing it, and the route keeps both IDs because the same service can run on several calendars.
- Statuses belong to the campaign: A Salesforce CampaignMember accepts only a status that its campaign defines, so the route reads the campaign's list first and never sends a status Salesforce would refuse.
- Safe to repeat: Repeating an event is harmless because Salesforce is consulted through a Salesforce External ID holding the Acuity client ID on each Lead and Contact, with a CampaignMember for the source before any change.
Chapter 03 What ships in the build
The pieces that make Acuity Scheduling to Salesforce dependable

Chapter 04 Who this fits
For driving and flight schools booking lessons through Acuity Scheduling, then for those who record where each client heard of you and move them into the right campaign
Acuity records who booked and how they found you; Salesforce is where that becomes attribution.
Marketing director
"Which channels bring clients?"
The intake source lands on the lead, so attribution is a report.
Salesforce admin
"Respect my duplicate rules and statuses."
The route reads campaign statuses and rule outcomes, and never forces a record past them.
Location manager
"Our site, our campaign."
Each location maps to its own campaign.
Account executive
"Is this person already known?"
Existing Contacts are updated, so you see one history and not a fresh Lead.
Agency owner
"Each client has an org."
A business's clients reach only that business's Salesforce org.
Founder
"Spend where it works."
Marketing spend follows real bookings.
Chapter 05 The options
A CSV import, zap or a source-aware lead route: which carries Acuity Scheduling into Salesforce?
Each can create a record. Only one upserts it, records the source and uses a valid campaign status.
| Question | a CSV import | A free-form Salesforce zap | BoldBellows, centred on a source-aware lead route |
|---|---|---|---|
| What starts the work | Somebody with a spare minute | Events without a qualification step | An appointment event matching the route brief |
| How identity is decided | Hunted through both tools | Email alone | A Salesforce External ID holding the Acuity client ID |
| What reaches Salesforce | Whatever seemed important | One row of raw values | One Lead or Contact per client with source and campaign member status |
| After an uncertain result | Left for the next person | Reports an error, nothing more | Searches, compares, repairs or hands to a named owner |
Late event, settled state
A notice that arrives after the record has moved on is logged and closed; the lead in Salesforce stays correct.
An intake answer names a source that has no matching lead source
The record is saved with the source held in a text field, the unmapped answer is flagged to marketing operations, and nothing is refused or lost. The verdict comes from a Salesforce External ID holding the Acuity client ID on each Lead and Contact, with a CampaignMember for the source: absent, matching, differing or ambiguous, all recorded. The result is recorded either way, so the decision can be audited.
A Salesforce External ID holding the Acuity client ID on each Lead and Contact, with a CampaignMember for the source goes in first, then the mapping, then the branches.

Timing begins when both connections are approved.
Clear
6 to 10 business days
Careful
10 to 16 business days
Continuous
16 to 24 business days
Chapter 08 Getting started
The short list we need from you
Access to Acuity Scheduling sufficient to read the fields we agree
A Salesforce user who can create the External ID field and authorise the app, plus Acuity credentials
Approval to read the Acuity Scheduling fields listed in the map
Your current manual steps for this appointment event, so we can match them
Who signs off the handover notes at the end
A backup contact for approvals
Chapter 09 Trust
Secure by being small: few fields, few permissions
Scope is deliberately narrow: approved Acuity Scheduling fields in, one Salesforce destination out, no side stores.
Only what the platforms allow
Every action taken in Acuity Scheduling and Salesforce is one their own documentation supports; nothing relies on an unofficial shortcut.
Scoped, revocable access
Tokens cover only the named objects and can be revoked whenever you choose.
A deliberately small payload
Keeping the payload small reduces risk and makes each write to Salesforce faster to check and easier to repair.
Reconcile, do not resend
A retry reconciles what Salesforce already holds against what was intended, then writes only the difference.
Minimal logging
We record what happened and when, never the private details of your records.
Full handover
Everything we built is documented and belongs to your team.
"A lead is only useful if it knows where it came from, so the build records the source from the intake form."

Chapter 11 Questions
Acuity Scheduling and Salesforce: what marketing operations ask
What to know before choosing a package, in plain language.
Is a build better than an Acuity Scheduling to Salesforce Zapier task?
A zap delivers a lead for every booking. It leaves you to upsert the client under an External ID, record the source from the intake form and attach the right campaign status. It is that layer the packages price.
How do I get Acuity clients into Salesforce with their source?
Each client is upserted as a Lead or Contact under an External ID, with the source taken from the intake form and a campaign member added.
What are campaign member statuses?
Each campaign defines the statuses a member can have. The route reads them first and only uses one that exists, such as Booked or Attended.
How is the right person found?
Contacts are searched by email first, then Leads. A Lead is created only when no one matches, and an unclear match is held for review.
Are duplicate rules respected?
Yes. The route never forces a record past a rule. A refusal is recorded with its reason and the booking is flagged.
Can past clients be loaded?
Yes. Existing clients are upserted in checkpointed batches using the same External ID rule.
Can Salesforce edits affect the appointment?
No. Nothing flows back, so changes in Salesforce never alter Acuity.
How detailed is the field map?
Yes. The Acuity Scheduling Salesforce field mapping service is where we agree formats, required values and owner rules before any build work starts.
Can we send some records elsewhere?
Yes. Our packages assume a custom Acuity Scheduling workflow for Salesforce, and the consultancy is included: an Acuity Scheduling Salesforce integration consultant on your side from $870.
What if either platform updates its API?
The safest reaction to change is to stop and report, so that is what the route does. Ongoing maintenance beyond the review period is separate.
