Connect with Any Booking System. Instantly.
Your AI front desk works with what you already use. No disruption, just smarter bookings.
The Power of Universal Integration
Dublin salons use a wide variety of booking platforms. We understand that changing your system isn\’t an option. That\’s why FrontDesk.ie is built to work seamlessly with *any* platform, ensuring your AI front desk enhances your existing workflow without disruption. For over 70% of salons using platforms without public APIs, our intelligent link-based approach is the perfect solution, turning a technical challenge into a competitive advantage for you.
How We Integrate: Platform by Platform
Fresha (Dominant: ~35-40% of Dublin Salons)
Integration Approach: Link-based. Your AI front desk handles the conversation, understands client needs, and then sends your Fresha booking link at the perfect moment. Fresha manages the payment and confirmation, working perfectly together.
Key Benefit: Enhances your Fresha workflow without requiring any changes to your system. Clients book through your familiar Fresha link.
Phorest (Premium: ~20-25% of Dublin Salons)
Integration Approach (Launch): Link-based, similar to Fresha. AI sends your Phorest booking link in chat.
Integration Approach (Advanced – Premium Upsell): For Pro clients, we offer deep API integration. Your AI can check real-time availability and create appointments directly via the Phorest API, so clients never leave WhatsApp. This is a premium upgrade for unparalleled convenience.
Key Benefit: Start with seamless link-based integration, upgrade to real-time booking and direct API integration for ultimate efficiency.
Booksy (Strong in Barbers: ~15-20%)
Integration Approach: Link-based. Your AI front desk handles the WhatsApp conversation and sends your Booksy link when clients are ready to book. Booksy does the rest.
Key Benefit: Effortlessly integrates with your Booksy system, streamlining client communication and booking for barbers and salons.
Square Appointments (Best Developer Experience - Future Focus)
Integration Approach: Full API integration with webhooks. While currently a smaller market share in Dublin, Square offers the most complete developer offering. Our AI can check live availability, create bookings, process payments, and handle rescheduling directly within WhatsApp.
